NobleSix  User ID: 62524796 United States08/26/2015 04:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Amazing how so many here are trying to dissect and give commentary to the whole "ballistics issue" on the shooting. Has anyone bothered to really think about the consequences? How all of this shit will be spinned and wheeled out? Gun confiscation isn't a fantasy these criminals are dreaming of, they're doing EVERYTHING they can to make it a reality. Think about it.

Dr. Astro Senior Forum Moderator User ID: 4211721 United States08/26/2015 04:12 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: Dr. Astro After how many steps? How many steps retard? I count at least 5 shots. :shooting: How many seconds did it take for him to go down and how many steps did he take? I count at least a dozen steps not even counting the time he was behind the tree! Did you see the reporter take a dozen steps? No. Steps?? Who gives a fuck about the amount of steps?? I do. It matters. It's the whole point. He was able to run a god damn good long way even as he was being shot. I bet the reporter didn't even make it nearly as far as that. The reporter was at near point blank range until after the 4th shot, is the point I was making. Quoting: incomingSo fucking what? You think the bullet looses significant energy from a few more feet away? I got news for you, it'll do just as much damage. The point I just made is that a person IS able to run a long distance even after being shot, even as they're STILL being shot, just as happened here. Actually given the briefness of the clip we see of her running it's quite likely she didn't make it nearly as far as the "wild boar." Dude, really?? For the last time before I let you get back to your short bus activities. The reporter got SPRAYED from near point blank range... You keep saying that like it makes it different than being shot just a few feet farther away. meaning she shouldve been dropped right then an there... Quoting: shortbusNope. That's not what that means. especially after the 4th shot. Quoting: shortbusShock takes time to set in and overcome the rush of adrenaline. That's what fight or flight reflex is all about! You can hit a person three or four times, fine, but unless you hit them in the brain, the spine, or the heart they're not going to necessarily drop from a handgun shot like a sack of potatoes. And actually, Scott Wilson was reportedly shot IN THE HEART. Last Edited by Astromut on 08/26/2015 04:12 PM  |

Asking fucking questions though should NOT be a problem on a forum such as this. Quoting: Anonymous-Girl Asking questions isn't the problem. Being complete idiots when answers are given is a problem. Think people. The story here doesn't fit into TPTB narrative at all. He shot and killed two people with a handgun, not an "assault rifle." He's a race baiting black gay guy, not a white confederate flag flying tea party member. He doesn't fit their narrative at all. You watch, they will do whatever they can to either play down his motivations or spin it as "the victims' fault for discriminating against him." Then ignore them? If you ignore it then it becomes a "well known fact" and you're automatically a shill for disagreeing later on down the line. What's the point in arguing with someone you think is an idiot? Quoting: AGIt's fun. How is spinning it into the victims' fault not part of the narrative? Quoting: AGThat's just a desperate attempt to try to work around a story which really doesn't work for you. They have no choice here. That's the point. The point about the "assault rifle" is that is the first thing they want to go after. It's less than ideal for them when the killing is done with just a "regular handgun" that they'd like to pretend they'll "let us keep if we just give up the evil assault rifles." We shall see. I have no opinion on this either way. My mind is open. |

Quoting: Dr. Astro I wonder if he also thinks this cold blooded cop killing a black guy running away is "fake." Oh look he's running, still running, still running, oh there he goes, he finally goes down after being hit how many times? :shooting: Where are the blood splatters? Why didn't he get flung to the ground by the hits? Must be fake, right? Tards. What a fucking retard you are. Completely different from the reporter, much shorter distance, and yes the man did go down in that video, while the reporter didn't you dumbass ^I agree 100% The buffoon basically made YOUR point for you!!! On shot #4 the guy goes down like a stuck boar... After how many steps? How many steps retard? I count at least 5 shots. :shooting: How many seconds did it take for him to go down and how many steps did he take? I count at least a dozen steps not even counting the time he was behind the tree! Did you see the reporter take a dozen steps? No. that guy took all those shots from a police officer using two hands... We saw poor Alison take 2-3 shots (1-2 hits maybe?) from a guy holding a gun in ONE hand and a camera in the other? I think she took at least 1 shot to the body and was able to run off, still in shock, but didn't make it too far. |

Quite possible that he missed several or maybe even most of the follow up shots since he was going one handed. Depends on how much he practiced that technique. I practice a lot of one handed and off-handed shooting for self defense. It's not easy even at close ranges if you've never done it before. |

In your video the black went down at a farther distance after getting hit by the 4th shot. I really don't understand where your confusion lies. The reporter apparently has teflon skin to withstand shots from that close range, not have a single bullet wound that is visible and still be able to sprint away, with knee brace on, like she was in the starting blocks at the Olympics. But alas...lets agree to disagree...wont be the last time, im sure!! Dude really? So everything you just stated makes it fact that this is FF? So adrenaline has nothing to do with the fact she could run? The fact that it didnt look to be a large caliber wouldn't be a reason you dont see the bullet enter and that it wasnt a through and through makes it impossible she didnt fall down right away. Hollywood really has you conditioned. |

Sometimes we just got to let the idiots say their idiot stuff. Sigh.....I know, I usually ignore it. there are just times like these that it gets real old. I have the video paused and DH and I agree, black man hand. That they didn't react to a person standing there with a gun was odd but then reporters are used to having lots of people milling around them all the time while they are shooting a report. When she looks at him AFTER being shot the first and second time and seems to be staring at him, that is totally understandable. She is confused, shocked, and probably thinking "Are you actually shooting me?" type thing. Totally normal and nothing FF about it. Yes, let me guess. You weeped for the sandy hook victim's as well right? The shooter worked at the TV station idiot. Of course they are not going to think twice about it. Along with all the other factors that would have them not paying attention to anything other then their jobs. If you're going to call FF get something that has teeth.
