“What was the shutter speed on the pistol?”

Around 1,100 fps I’m guessing.

"They have sex ed, shouldn't there be mandatory firearms education?"

Yes there should. That should be part of all public school education curricula. Include range time as well. Maybe some of those gang members will start hitting each other rather than innocent bystanders.

9 mm aperture, with flash. 1/60 sec should do.

“A’Meyah T. Brewton”

I assume this is a Klingon by the clearly Klingon name. I heard it was honorable to die this way.

Heinrich Himmler used pseudo-scientists like psychometrists.

Do his fanboys have a website which you frequent?
