I know!!! It was nerve wracking going out to get your groceries those days. These guys terrorized our community. I feel sorry for the sniper families, but most are saying they are satisfied with the guilty verdict. Now let's finish the job.
Walp - DUH!
Six of that was probably going over jury procedures and paperwork.
LOL. Who would you put johnmo in prison with Grampa Dave?
With all those petro trillions over the last 30 years, it's surprising how little the Arabic countries have to show for it. Look at it, they have wasted the vast majority, and done next to no real improvements for their people. The Saudis focused internally on funding countless Wahhabi schools, which produced tens of thousands of useless Wahabbi fanatics. There is a 25% unemployment rate in Saudi among the natives, although they still employ over 5 million foreign workers. The average Saudi believes that menial jobs are beneath their dignity, and that's what Allah made kafirs for. By and large they are one useless bunch of Beduins that only know how to create a population boom of future worthless Wahhabi fanatics to export for foreign terrorism. They don't produce one damn thing of value for the rest of the world, except the oil under their sand that is drilled and produced by foreigners.
It was cynically amusing to note that it's just fine when their Wahabbi wackjobs bomb in other countries, Paradise is waiting for those martyrs, but when the boys come back home and bomb in Riyadh, that's a sinful crime! Global civilization could take a big step forward without the dead weight of those kwazy Wahhabits.

It wasn't so much as correction as that I just didn't want the gun grabber mantra that anything more powerfull than a .22 rimfire is a "high powered", and thus a dangerous and scary, weapon that should be banned "for the children." to go unchallenged. We must not grant them their misuse of terminology. No one calls a shotgun a "high powered" weapon, but they are. So were the old muskets and early rifles, they all threw a big, and fairly deformable, projectile, somewhat more slowly than a modern rifle does of course, but they had lots of knockdown power.
Darn right, on both counts. You got it right, and it never changes. Although it can sometimes be discouraged and must always be prepared for. Funny thing is that being prepared for it, often does discourage it. Of course that's just another way of saying si vis pacem, para bellum (If you wish for peace, prepare for war.)
