Of course there will be a few that will think this guy was some kind of hero.

Oh and it could be just me, but nothing says “The firing by the station was justified” like this event.

Vester, your manifesto of injustice just got canceled out by you.

No Prob, I can’t even think off the top of the head of the .40 full size. I think G22. It’s possible he had a 2-shot extension too, but I still think G17.

I think the time is ripe for a new online service ...

Suit Tracker ...

Employer, do you want to learn about all the lawsuits this prospective hire has filed ? What states, outcomes, details, etc.

Money maker I predict.

“If anyone had dared to pass on his history to a potential employer, they would have been sued FOR MILLIONS of dollars”

True, but I had an HR manager tell me there are “code” words that HR managers share with each other if there is a red flag. Obviously it didn’t happen in this case.

How about proving an assertion you made? Or is that too difficult.

Think of it as an intellectual exercise. Or you can resort to insults

Karen Hills is near Salem, correct? That is nowhere near here. As I said, I am a few miles from where the perp assumed room temperature (I,too, was waiting with more than a few tea cups). I am sure there are plenty of FR folks in Roanoke and I know there are TONS of TEA folk around there.

Ummmm......

I shoot a 1911.. I got hooked on it in 1970.

I can easily put 5 in the black in less than 5 seconds and still have time to do a quick inspection of the target before it turns away from view, (5 second exposure)

Yes, it recoils and the older models have a slight twist to the recoil, but I do this one handed and always have.

What one of the Obama-Ferguson protestors DeRay Mckesson had to say when he thought the shooter was "white". Apparently after DeRay found out the shooter was not a "white man", he deleted his "TWIT".
