peacefuljeffrey 0 #1 June 10, 2004 I just read a CNN article about the note he left about the whole thing. At this point, I feel more on his side than on the "law and order" side, because it's easy for me to believe that small-town crooked politics fucked him over. But my question is this: What ever became of the claims that he was shooting around with a .50 CAL weapon?! That was in the first article I read about it, and I haven't heard shit about it since. And you know that CNN, being as biased against guns as they are (remember the "assault weapon" destroying the cinderblocks?), that if they could demonize a .50 cal (with the recent calls to ban them as "sniper rifles"), they would. Anyone read anything about what weapons were actually found in this guy's possession? --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Kennedy 0 #2 June 11, 2004 Well, I read some BS later on about "assault weapons," but it seems to have been just a semi-automatic rifle or two. I haven't seen or heard anything about a .50 cal.

peacefuljeffrey 0 #3 June 11, 2004 This article mentions the guns they supposedly found. I just think it is odd that no anti-gun press has picked this up and run with it, because as we know, they are hot to ban .50 cals but there is of course a near zero-rate of their use in crime, so these idiots have hardly got a mandate. some story about the bulldozer rampage Blue skies, -Jeffrey-Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

Kennedy 0 #4 June 11, 2004 Well, I'm impressed. They seem to have gotten all the facts, they showed both sides (though they might have given examples of the perceived corruption - unless it really was nothing other than losing in court), and they were specific. All "journalists" should take note that this is what a reporter does. Well done, Ms. Correll. for those too lazy to read, there was a .50 rifle (I assume BMG), two 'military style' rifles (must be black semi-autos), and some sort of handgun (type not mentioned).witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
