I’ll take the horns, but they better not go in expecting a win based on last year’s game. This is a much improved team they’re playing. I’ll take the horns 42-27.

I said it appeared to be wrapped in something. a loose bag (not a gun case) or something like a blanket. I just read for the first time that the gun was found wrapped in a towel in the woods. The video would very much appear to me to be something long and rigid wrapped loosely in something that is flapping around it. Previously watching the video I can honestly say I thought it was a blanket or maybe even a towel. This is more than enough to confirm it for me. As for the question about the first :28 seconds of the video: I'd say it's a very good chance that he had the gun either already in place on the roof or stashed near by. It wouldn't make much sense to risk getting caught bringing the gun the day of the event, especially when he couldn't be sure what security would look like. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me a bit if he had the gun wrapped in a towel when he stashed it to keep it from getting wet or being spotted...

I think it probably would, if you weren’t used to that sort of thing. Which might account for why he missed where he was shooting. It’s a very safe bet he was aiming for the head or the chest and made a bad shot and got lucky. And it’s 100% that if it were a pro taking the shot they would’ve never aimed where Kirk was hit. Why aim for a low % target when center mass is a guaranteed hit, and the head is a guaranteed kill (and bigger target than the neck)?

Like others have mentioned, 200 yds is a relatively easy shot for a lot of people. With the right scope it’s reaaaaallly easy. Awhile back I hit a plate at 200 yds 3 shots in a row with a Thompson Center Contender PISTOL that I’d never shot that had a good scope on it. Also, at the distance he was shooting a 5 mph crosswind isn’t a factor at all.
-
Absolutely. Awhile back I had my wife in the red at 200 yds in half a box of shells, and she’d fired exactly one bullet from a rifle before that time in her whole life. This kidad’s dad is a cop. Good chance he grew up hinting, great chance he grew up shooting.

you can “not see” anything when you want to believe something else hard enough.

Y’all are seriously saying yall don’t see him carrying something long and skinny, setting it into the gutter, as he climbs down, and grabbing before he jumps? And then really don’t see it swinging from his hand as he runs off? At around :38 seconds they zoom in and it’s clear, even with the grainy footage
-
It’s wrapped in a black piece of cloth. Probably a jacket or something similar
-
He’s clearly carrying something that looks long and skinny wrapped in cloth when he jumps off the building. I’m not sure what video yall have been watching.

Every head coach had no head coaching experience at some point. A good coach can coach, regardless -
Not sure how the refs missed that tackle on the 4th down play, but what a catch, and what a game
-
I’ve seen the theory that he’s playing hurt gaining some traction on the internet. I’ll admit that I didn’t pay a lot of attention to his mechanics last year, but I don’t remember him doing all of the weird sidearm throws that he’s been making. I never fully bought into the hype, but I still thought (and still think) he’ll be a solid qb for them, but I was never in favor of benching Ewers for him, and would gladly trade him for another year of Ewers this season.

Blake Broussard was 29/33 for 356 yds and 3 TDs, and added another on the ground. Through three games he’s completing 82.2% of his passes with 6 TDs and 0 INTs. Also averaging over 60 yds a game on the ground -
Top 3 teams are in a tier above. HH and BC are the heavy favorites. LCM could be in there if they get healthy. Your wild race is going to be for 4th. That should be fun. Lumberton appears improved this year. HJ and Livingston certainly are better than in years past. Liberty’s Liberty, and vidor was left for dead, but at least showed some signs of life last night on offense. But there are only 2-3 teams that have a real shot of winning district. And it’s most likely going to be Huffman with that special senior class.
-
No. They’ve been better than expected, but Jasper is not a good team this year. Lumberton may be battling HJ and Livingston for fourth.

D-line is a work in progress. I’m not surprised that a gimmick offense is having some success. But I didn’t really think it would go like this. Hopefully the horns figure it out pretty quick. -
Righties on X were screenshotting celebratory posts and posting them and tagging people’s employers asking if they shared the same views as their employees all last night. And I’m going to be honest, I think it’s great. One of the biggest issues we’re facing today is that the fringe lunatic left was able to do and say literally whatever they wanted for a decade, often encouraged to do so by their political leaders. Never being held accountable for abhorrent behavior leads to more bad behavior. It honestly is likely playing a part in these assassinations and assassination attempts. When you’ve had it ingrained into you that the other side is the devil, while simultaneously being allowed to act however you want, it’s no surprise that some take it all the way.

Highly doubtful this was a hit. There's this weird disconnect where the right wants to blame the left for radicalizing millions of leftists with their propaganda and rhetoric (I'm not arguing that point, it's obviously happened), but then every time one of those goofy nuts takes action a lot of the right refuses to believe that they could possibly have acted on their own accord. It's always a "conspiracy", a "hit", or some other crazy idea. There are literally MILLIONS of libs who hated Charlie Kirk, who fully believed he was a nazi, a fascist, a racist. I saw a study that I wish I could find awhile back that showed that a MAJORITY of gen z lefties think violence is justified when hearing opposing viewpoints they deem problematic. It's really hard to wrap my head around the fact that the majority of a whole generation of democrats find violence acceptable to combat words. And then add on top of that the fact that any POV that goes against what they believe is immediately labeled "hate speech" or "racist" or "fascist." A big conspiracy isn't needed when you have radicalized nuts all over the place sitting around like ticking timebombs. If anything, I'm surprised these things haven't happened more often.

If what I read on here is correct, and it's a 30-06 that was used, a 6 inch drop wouldn't be impossible at 200 yds for a 30-06 sighted in at 100 (depending on the gun and more importantly, the grain of bullet you use). Definitely not the round a pro would pick, though.
-
I started deer hunting as an adult. Within a single box of shells I was putting 3 rounds inside of a silver dollar at 200 yds. It's really not hard with a decent gun and good optics. It's also worth noting that this shot had to be a miss that got lucky. From the angle it came in it was likely supposed to be a head shot that was several inches low and happened to catch his neck.
-
Based on the video this could've happened with him on a bed in an OR with a surgeon scrubbed in and i don't know what they could do for him. but hoping that i'm wrong.

suspect is an old man. crazy.

Rangers keep finding ways to win! Two in a row against the brewers and now only 2.5 back in the division! Unfortunately the Ms keep winning as well, but the stros are giving us something else to chase!

Hardin county is going to end up with egg on their face on this one. the "new charges" they're pursuing are from a report filed over a year ago from a woman who claims he did basically the exact same thing to her as he did to this woman. The woman from a year ago also made a series of tik toks about it. I'd be seriously looking into legal representation if I were her. It's pretty amazing how nothing was done for a year, but when people start talking crap about Hardin Co on facebook they suddenly decide to charge him?
