Ping to an interesting read that I posted on a thread and received a recomendation that I make it a thread of its own.

Good post. I'll read it later.

It's interesting to observe how things have changed, however.

Now, whenever someone uses the words "FBI" and "sharpshooter" in the same sentence, that murderous SOB at Ruby Ridge comes to mind.

[Humidston]

In fact, at that time, Bryce had already killed over 10 men in face-to-face shootouts as a city policeman and FBI Agent.

Oh how cruel! Nowadays, if anyone in law enforcement even DRAWS his gun he has to go to diversity training and spend 6 mos explaining his youth to a shrink, doesn't he?

(Of course, back in the good old days we also had more respect for law enforcement. They told a fleeing criminal to "HALT!" and if they kept running, they got drilled.)

Today they just shoot cops the bird and keep going.

Know your target....before you pull your trigger, know your target.
If'n you don't know yer' target, you ain't no sharpshooter.

I read this on the other thread and thought it deserved it's own posting but didn't have time to post it.

Thanks for posting it!

In fact, witnesses say that Bryce never missed a coin thrown in the air.

Wow! . . . And to think I used to be proud I could (sometimes) hit with my old .22 single-shot rifle a beer bottle that had been thrown into air.

Great find. Loved reading it. Bookmarked.

[Eaker]

I probably couldn't hit a coin if I fired into my pocket!!!

Of course I am referencing my lack of skill rather than my lack of funds!!

My father-in-law is a Bryce from Oklahoma, most likely related to Jelly!

[LibWhacker]

Wow, you ought to try to find out for sure. If so, you really have something to be proud about! Hurt said something about Bryce being an Indian. Is that true? If so, do you know what tribe?

[LibWhacker]

LOL! 'Ya know, nowadays I probably couldn't either -- even if my pocket was full of change!

[A. Goodwin]

I think that's just an old time saying - in this case a euphemism for someone who is stoic and unperturbable. The idea being that Indians had a reputation for being unemotional, and Bryce lost no sleep over the shooting. Fascinating read, it reminded me of hard-boiled detective fiction (e.g. Chandler, Hammett), with the advantage of being true...

Everytime someone mentions Sharpshooter to me, I think they should try harder. The Sharpshooter rank is just above Marksman.

Thanks for the Thread, Eaker. I didn't want to take credit for your find.

This is an excellent example of how things have changed.

[Eaker]

You are more than welcome sir.

I have friends in law enforcement. Good friends and good people. I haven't given up on cops; I have given up on the polititians that run the joint.

Take care and stay safe,

Thanks for posting this--really enjoyed it. I ran it off to give to a friend in the local police dept. and read it to my husband.

In reading it, about the various killing, one has to think--what, no Internal Affairs investigation; what, no shrink consultations. Truly a lawman with the right skills and his head on straight.

Is it unusual to be able to see a .38 or larger bullet travel to its target?

[SevenDaysInMay]

Times have changed. Lon Horiuchi, pronounced whore-you-shi-, represents the current JBTs, if perhaps not a majority, ready to enjoy head hsots et al. and pose his work against innocent men, women, and children.

If such murderers for the State are not the majority, then why are such murderers and their handlers not stripped of their immunity from prosecution for known crimes? "Compelling State interests" not found in our RATIFIED Constitution again?

From the America of my origin, such men would have been cuffed and stuffed or fragged by his own collegues before he had the first kill dance grinning pose opportunity with Vickie Weaver's dress. Young Sam Weaver was just shot in the back by one of two hiding U.S.Marshals, proudly killing the boy's pet and a child before one Marshal earned his own timely end.

The all too eager future Clintonazis put us on notice by their murders of American citizens at Ruby Ridge and Mt. Carmel, Waco. The BATF, U.S. Marshals, and FBI depend on covering their faces to obscure and deflect personal responsibility for their crimes under color of law. Regardless of hood color, such Brownshirts hide behind misapplied and not RATIFIED Constitutional "sovereign immunity", a foolish and self-serving CYA contrivance aiding and abetting the JBT food chain.

Law enforcement has devolved into policy enforcement in this era of American fascism's "living" Constitution - which means nothing but the end of our Constitutional Republic, under penalty of law and sudden death.

Generations of good cops must be rolling their graves, but defense of our own lives and Constitution rests with us.

I don't support the JBT's any more than you do.

I DO supports my friends and some of my friends are cops..
