Stand back, this could get messy.

Was it a cop who shot your uncle.or something? That's a strange thing to come up during jury selection.

If you aren't smart enough to get out of jury duty, you shouldn't be allowed to sit on a jury.

They asked if I had any experience with gun crime so I answered, haven't gotten a summons since.

It was a teenage kid, they were just too lazy to investigate since he threw the revolver in the river not long after. It took a few years but our family eventually convinced a witness to come forward and that got the shooter behind bars.

She's black so probably not. Incidentally around that same time George Zimmerman did the same poo poo except it wasn't in self defense and he didn't get in any trouble at all. If I recall correctly they did let that let out.

Depending on the round, terminal velocity for a tumbling bullet probably won't do that much damage.

It's completely irrelevant because shooting into the air at a perfectly straight up angle happens probably about zero percent of the time especially among the drunk braindead morons who are celebrating or firing "warning shots". Just a few degrees is enough to change it from a bullet tumbling down at terminal velocity into a bullet on doing a little mini artillery and easily keeping enough velocity to go through a person. It'll just be a person a mile away or whatever.

I love this:

"I don't know that we can trust them to do an internal investigation," Charley Wilkison, the executive director of the Combined Law Enforcement Associations of Texas, which represents some law enforcement officers in Uvalde, told CNN on Tuesday. "It would be best if the investigation were headed up by an outside independent source that the public can have total confidence in.

This is something you would learn in CCW class, which usually costs money, requires purchase of ammo supply, and is held at times convenient to conventional work shifts. All these things are easy for the upper-middle class to arrange, but working poor don't get that lesson except through fire(both figuratively and literally, at times).

The smallest poo poo will get the Secret Service on your rear end when the President is in town.

Also this is prime overtime for cops: beaucoup bucks and you get to go full HRT on people for standing around with their dick in their hand.

Lol. LMAO. Beyond parody.



quote:

"We were able to put an AR-15 rifle and safes in all of our schools in the county," Sheriff Buddy Harwood told the Asheville Citizen-Times. "We’ve also got breaching tools to go into those safes. We’ve got extra magazines with ammo in those safes."

Harwood said the rifles will ideally allow police to quickly defend against a school shooting. Harwood criticized the police that responded to the Uvalde shooting saying the time they took to respond to the shooting cost lives.

"Those officers were in that building for so long, and that suspect was able to infiltrate that building and injure and kill so many kids," said Harwood.

"I do not want to have to run back out to the car to grab an AR, because that’s time lost. Hopefully we’ll never need it, but I want my guys to be as prepared as prepared can be," he added.
