After killing unarmed man, Texas deputy told colleague: 'I just smoked a dude'

So, let's talk through the shit the acab crowd can't be bothered to consider.

1. The dude ran a stop sign, started the whole thing, in the middle of the night.
2. He's driving a car with an out of state paper tag that expired 1-3-22, and this happened 8-14-22, so the paper tag had been expired for 7.5 months.
3. Began arguing immediately instead of giving up his license, insurance, registration etc.
4. As soon as he was out of the car, he buried his hands in his waistline. He's lucky that alone didn't get him shot. Dumbass.
5. When the cop tries to pull his arms behind him, he starts by resisting, but then transfers to a wrist grip. He's actually controlling the cops right arm at one point.
6. When he tries to drop him, which he had every reason to do, the corpse is fighting him. He's refusing to be handcuffed.
7. On his second takedown attempt, the corpse fights even harder, then runs.

Now, I don't think he should have shot him. I don't think it was neccessary, but the dead guy caused this situation to happen, 100%. If you are too dumb to understand that you have to handle any situation differently when one or both parties are armed, then you may find yourself in one of these videos with your meth head momma crying in front of her trailer.


Thank you! !!!!!!
Finally an objective viewpoint that doesn’t cite a 🏳️‍🌈lgbtq🏳️‍🌈 USMC news source.

Much respect.

You missed the entire point. You guys always do.

I have not ever justified the police activity here. I'm talking about not doing dumb shit that gets you shot.

Next time you hit an intersection and have the right of way, pull out in front of that 18 wheeler and show him that you have the right of way. You fucking tell them while they are fitting up your prosthetic everything that you had the right to pull out in front of that truck.

Somehow in your head that's probably a really good analogy, but it makes no sense.

UNLESS- you are trying to imply that to resist misconduct on the part of an "armed professional law enforcement officer" it is the same as trying to reverse the momentum of a heavily-cargo-laded 18 wheeler at short distance, in an intersection.

...and if the impulse to do misconduct is really that powerful, such that it is nearly unstoppable, how about we enforce equally powerful consequences?

Hunting & Fishing Let’s start a coyote thread.

I don’t think I could mimic the fart sounds of @Tugboater but have to be satisfied with the FoxPro and a distressed rabbit call.

This is a young male taken with a head shot at 106 yards. 224 Valkyrie 88 grain ELD.

He came in fast and stopped about 50 yards short of the e-caller. That was long enough to shut down his operating system.

THIS is the delish-content that keeps me HOOKED...

Did you know that you can get halfway through your "steps" and just because you live in the United States of America, you are 100% safe, and anyone who says otherwise is merely voicing an opinion?

YOU (or anyone) can go clear their backyard right now- inspired by GI Jane, GI Joe, GI Tract, or that 13 Hours movie about the guys who worked with al Qaeda to bring down the Brother Leader.

When you get to 4 and start to speculate, that's where you fall apart though. Why would the police be pointing guns at a Mom protecting her family, while a (presumably dangerous) Criminal is on the loose? Seems implausible.

If they were real Police, they would have said, "Which way did he go!" and continued performing their jobs.

There's really no way to create these "situations" out of thin air and pure misconduct, and then pick apart what actions on the part of the victim are considered "appropriate," all while completely denying any responsibility for the actions of an "armed professional law enforcement officer."

It's perfectly absurd.

StaBall HD vs H1000

And that was the load you posted the chrono for?
Yes. That was the lowest sd it's ever given me. I shot two groups after that and they were 5 and 6 sd. As long as I get single digits I'm happy.

I've shot that load to a thousand a couple times. If I can stay on top of the wind I get about 90% hits on a 2/3 ipsc. South Texas wind is something else though. And I suck at reading wind. I only get to stretch out like that 3-4 times a year if I'm lucky.

Cleaning up the leade question….

I’ll go ahead and open myself to the seeming requisite to be ridiculed for using a bore scope. Get it out of your system, you’ll feel better…..😏

Have seen a couple posts about some rather shitty chambers produced by Bergara in the heavy barreled actions. After a couple positive range sessions I went ahead with a good cleaning and decided to have a look at the bore. Other than the slight smear at the edge of the leade the barrel looks good.

Seeing as this chamber *doesn’t engrave* on the rifling when chambering do you think it would hurt to have the leade cleaned up to remove the slight imperfection. This barrel already has shown some sub MOA groups at 50yds in the limited testing I’ve done.

Edit…..
Checked a handful of different brands and it does engrave on a couple but not all….
My apologies…..

All of my horses are tall. I'm not sure if you ride the trash truck or jerk off truckers, and maybe you do both, who am I to try to put you in a box? Some of you are fairly industrious. Let me explain in detail where this woman caused her own injury, and then we can move on. I'll use a number system, so you won't get confused.

1. She lives in California
2. She lives in a city surrounded by other idiots, separated only by 6' of privacy fence.
3. She heard about this disturbance and instead of locking her doors and protecting her family in the house, she decided: "fuck it, I saw GI Jane and that was basically a documentary, so I'm going to sweep and clear my backyard".
4. She is engaged by the police, and instead of complying, she starts raising her gun at them, like someone who wants to be on the news.
5. She refuses to drop her gun when they order her to, for several minutes.
6. Then and only then, she chambers a round and shoots at them.


Now, I know you have never been accused of being very bright, and man, today isn't the day that things are going to change for you, but now we are on page 3 of a discussion about how bad cops are because they shot a woman who was shooting at them.


Now splash some water on your face and get back out there, those truckers aren't going to finish themselves. Bitch.

Duck food to grow in a stock tank

Widgeon Grass, find it, paper sack and yard rake and keep it damp, transfer to smaller paper sacks and submerge them in shallow water and place a rock on the sack, let nature take its course.

It's not for everyone, most would be better served with barnyard grass, chufa, millets or even hybrid milo or sorghums, easier to control. Latter if you have wild turkeys around.

Why modify the turret to be non locking

I think a number of folks had that problem with the Gen 3 - so much so, that "return scope to Vortex to have it adjusted" became a first step folks did upon receiving them. I've felt them before/after that trip home, and it does make a difference in how easy it is to accidentally lock the turret, while still retaining the ability to lock it.

That problem was with the initial run that would drop easily and where this whole rep of locking easy came from. After they figured out the issue and fixed it there isn’t a problem with the locking turret unless someone is very heavy handed as mentioned. Just reaching up and spinning it will not lock it. I had an original and did the usual fixes at the time like a spacer or o-ring so it wouldn’t accidentally lock but even then it wasn’t bad for me. The newer scopes do not have that issue. I have a couple new ones I got over the past few months and there is no issue with it locking accidentally.

Health Insurance

I kept my insurance when I retired as a federal civilian. My portion increases at 15-20% a year. So much for the official govt inflation rate.

This year my medical, dental and vision eats about $800 a month. I have Tricare as an option but it's basically worthless. They are the worst and no doctors want to accept it. Every person I've dealt with from them is basically retarded.

Eventually that entire pension check will be consumed by insurance and after that I don't have to pay anything extra. I'm fine with that. It will suck to lose the income but I really like medical insurance that works.

My wife is a couple of years older and already signed up for Medicare. They wanted almost $500 a month for part B because I was still working. Right now we are planning to go it alone without part B and just private insurance. I've never met anyone who can explain part B or how it's cost is determined. I just know for both of us it will be about as expensive as buying my retirement medical with far worse benefits.

Upon further investigation, the judge denied the cop qualified immunity. So, sounds like he's going to pay.

India vs Pakistan

And if they do go nuclear, the "Blame Trump" freak show will turn up to 11... blaming him for the war. And saying it is all USA's fault. The Muzzies will rally around Pakistan even if they fire first.

It will be Trump's fault.

This is specifically-exactly what happens when the American president initiates a rolling global surrender policy that gives our enemies space and comfort to stand up as he lays us down.

...and anyway, I think everyone is going to rally around Pakistan, no?

India is disgusting.

And, remember, the Paks may be the 'religion of peace' and committed to a first use policy. But the Indians have a long view of history being about destruction and rebirth... and accepting destruction and its aftermath is in their DNA, too.

You balanced your statement with the second half... but this is overall backwards.

The Hindus believe in Kali Yuga (कलियुग), or the fourth and final age of the four-cycle Hindu "yuga system," often translated as "the age of Kali," "the age of strife," "the age of darkness," or "the age of vice". It is characterized by the decline of Dharma (righteousness and spiritual values), increased suffering, and the prevalence of negative qualities like conflict and deceit.

The end of Kali Yuga is marked by a catastrophic event and the re-establishment of Dharma, ushering in a new cycle of yugas. It is believed that Lord Kalki, the prophesied tenth incarnation of Vishnu, will usher in this new era.

The Pakistanis are rational actors and global operators... the Indians are trying to enrich themselves by stealing and committing moral atrocities (Decline of Dharma)... but don't worry, because it will trigger the end of the world and bring back their messiah.

Sound familiar?
