You think there aren't any shooters on overwatch???

Meth is a very large problem down there and the cops know that these perps may have screwed other criminals over, this usally results in retailiation and or extreme violence. When the perps are found out to have squealed to save their own hides, the meth cooks will be very upset to say the least, well that is a safe bet. Good thing they were unable to sell your stuff off before they were caught. It is because Skydivers stick together that the gear becomes useless unless it has an alternate use. This is also how surveyors stop loss on their gear. All surveyors will refuse to buy it or offer only $5 bucks or an ass whipping with an axe handle. (it happened in the past and the Chicago PD laughed when they arrived)

I have a close personal friend of mine out in SF for the next two weeks for training, he is like a brother to me. Does anyone have the time or inclination to show him around or at least fill him in on the things to do list? He does not drink or do drugs and is a really nice guy,...ladies he is singhle as well

NO HAVE A MASTER RIGGER CHECK IT!

How much more accurate does he need to be? It seems he summed it up well and anyone could agree with him, if their hatred of Bush, or conservatism, did not cloud their judgement.

I wonder how many other killers will be pursued to this level of diligence, I guess it all depends on who it was, the color of their skin, or how much cash is involved.

Actually it would require a HARM or similar, much more expensive than a IR guided missile.

Ex-Lawman Indicted in 1964 Slayings Thursday, January 25, 2007 5:43 AM EST The Associated Press By LARA JAKES JORDAN and ALLEN G. BREED WASHINGTON (AP) — A former Mississippi sheriff's deputy was arrested Wednesday in the 1964 slayings of two black teenagers who were long believed to have been kidnapped and killed by the Ku Klux Klan. The former deputy, James Ford Seale, of Roxie, Miss., was named in a federal indictment charging him in connection with the teens' disappearance and deaths while they were hitchhiking in a rural area of the state east of Natchez. Until recently, Seale was thought to be dead, and the investigation into the two deaths had long been abandoned. Seale was taken into custody Wednesday afternoon and was taken to Jackson, Miss. He is expected to be arraigned Thursday on kidnapping charges stemming from the May 1964 disappearances of Henry Dee and Charles Moore. Two months after Dee and Moore disappeared, their bodies were pulled from the Mississippi River as part of an FBI-led search for three civil rights workers reported missing about 160 miles away near Philadelphia, Miss. Federal authorities, who were focusing on the more famous "Mississippi Burning" killings, turned the Dee and Moore case over to local authorities. A short time later, a justice of the peace called an end to the inquiry without presenting evidence to a grand jury. Moore's older brother, Thomas Moore, worked with Canadian film producer David Ridgen for two years piecing together what happened in 1964. The effort led them to a brief confrontation with Seale, a former sheriff's deputy who had been reported as deceased in several newspapers. In 2000, the Justice Department's civil rights unit reopened the case, the most recent in a string of civil rights-era killings that have been revived by state and federal authorities in the South. Moore and Ridgen, along with Dunn Lampton, the U.S. attorney who has led the investigation in Mississippi, were traveling to Washington for a news conference as early as Thursday with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and FBI Director Robert Mueller. Reached by cell phone on his way to the capital, a crying Thomas Moore said: "It's been a long journey, and I don't guess it could have happened any other way." "I hope and I believe that Charles Moore and Henry Dee are beginning to smile," Thomas Moore said. "I'm hoping Charles Moore is saying I didn't let him down." Seale and another man, Charles Marcus Edwards, were first arrested in the case in November 1964, four months after the bodies were found. At the time, Seale was asked if he knew why he had been arrested. The FBI said he responded: "Yes, but I'm not going to admit it. You are going to have to prove it." Both men were reputed members of the Ku Klux Klan, which at the time was cracking down on a rumored gunrunning operation by black Muslims in rural Franklin County., Miss. On May 2, 1964, according to federal documents, Seale offered the two black hitchhikers a ride, then drove them to a wooded area where he and others whipped them with bean poles. An informant later told the FBI that the Klansmen took the unconscious men to the river, lashed their bodies to a Jeep engine block and old railroad rails and dumped them, still breathing, into the muddy water. Edwards initially told federal investigators the two black men were alive when he left them and he had nothing to do with any murders, according to FBI documents. He later denied making the statement. Edwards was not expected to face any new charges, although authorities did not immediately say why. The case is the latest long-dormant civil rights-era killing to be reopened decades after the crimes were committed.

Military Shows Off New Ray Gun Thursday, January 25, 2007 3:27 AM EST The Associated Press By ELLIOTT MINOR MOODY AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. (AP) — The military calls its new weapon an "active denial system," but that's an understatement. It's a ray gun that shoots a beam that makes people feel as if they are about to catch fire. Apart from causing that terrifying sensation, the technology is supposed to be harmless — a non-lethal way to get enemies to drop their weapons. Military officials say it could save the lives of innocent civilians and service members in places like Iraq and Afghanistan. The weapon is not expected to go into production until at least 2010, but all branches of the military have expressed interest in it, officials said. During the first media demonstration of the weapon Wednesday, airmen fired beams from a large dish antenna mounted atop a Humvee at people pretending to be rioters and acting out other scenarios that U.S. troops might encounter in war zones. The device's two-man crew located their targets through powerful lenses and fired beams from more than 500 yards away. That is nearly 17 times the range of existing non-lethal weapons, such as rubber bullets. Anyone hit by the beam immediately jumped out of its path because of the sudden blast of heat throughout the body. While the 130-degree heat was not painful, it was intense enough to make the participants think their clothes were about to ignite. "This is one of the key technologies for the future," said Marine Col. Kirk Hymes, director of the non-lethal weapons program at Quantico, Va., which helped develop the new weapon. "Non-lethal weapons are important for the escalation of force, especially in the environments our forces are operating in." The system uses electromagnetic millimeter waves, which can penetrate only 1/64th of an inch of skin, just enough to cause discomfort. By comparison, microwaves used in the common kitchen appliance penetrate several inches of flesh. The millimeter waves cannot go through walls, but they can penetrate most clothing, officials said. They refused to comment on whether the waves can go through glass. The weapon could be mounted aboard ships, airplanes and helicopters, and routinely used for security or anti-terrorism operations. "There should be no collateral damage to this," said Senior Airman Adam Navin, 22, of Green Bay, Wis., who has served several tours in Iraq. Navin and two other airmen were role players in Wednesday's demonstration. They and 10 reporters who volunteered were shot with the beams. The beams easily penetrated various layers of winter clothing. The system was developed by the military, but the two devices currently being evaluated were built by defense contractor Raytheon. Airman Blaine Pernell, 22, of suburban New Orleans, said he could have used the system during his four tours in Iraq, where he manned watchtowers around a base near Kirkuk. He said Iraqis constantly pulled up and faked car problems so they could scout out U.S. forces. "All we could do is watch them," he said. But if they had the ray gun, troops "could have dispersed them."

If you go to Sam's club or Costco with him and he buys a 5 gallon bucket of ass lube, and a pommel horse.

You can always invite them over for drinks, and then excuse the mess as you sweep up spent shell casings and clean up what appears to be blood. Then act like nothing at all just happened.

Hi There!

Watches, Caskets, the first Automobile races in history, Borden Dairy, having the nations most important observatory at the time, Altimeter Fuses for Bombs, and Anti Aircraft Shells. Lots of Civil War Dead.

They must lead some boring lives.

If a child breaks in to your home and uses your tools to break into your firearms storage area, and commits a crime with it, do you want to be held responsible for the actions of a criminal?

I had one just last month ask me where I was employed I said it was none of his business, he went back to his car and was on the laptop and radio for over 15 minutes. I wonder why they feel the right to collect intel on a person for no reason whatsoever? I mean WTF? do they think they are the NSA or FBI? BTW I did get the ticket dismissed, and the cop had the nerve to get up and approach the bench as the Judge was dismissing the case. He approached and the Judge asked him if she had asked him to, his reply: "No your honor, but will the court wait a few more minutes to see if the witness will show up?" The Judges response: "No, now go sit down or I will find you in contempt!"

I got off my first enlistment when I was 20 years old. Had applied at the local police department. Did well on the exams, physical, psych eval, the whole bit. Down to the oral interview with five senior-level officers and can see the nonverbals that its going well... All of the sudden one senior officer interrupts another after looking down at my packet and says, "Excuse me, how old are you?" I'm puzzled and reply, "20." He says, "Well son, I don't know how this slipped thru the cracks, but it's State law that you can't carry a gun until you're 21. " So? By the time I finish the Academy, I'll be 21. Well, you'll have to come back and re-apply when you're 21. I'm sorry, I don't understand. "I'm sorry, but you can't even apply until you're 21 - I'm not sure how it got this far without anybody noticing." "Sir, I just came back from Europe where part of my duties were to carry an M-16 every day, we had shoot-outs with (the then) Bader-Meinhoff gang almost weekly; I served for 3 years, but I can't apply to be on the police department?" "I'm sorry, son - you'll have to come back when you're 21." So, I went back down to my reserve commander who was also the area Army recruiter and asked him if he wanted some lunch. Your experience is not uncommon, I had almost the same experience when I was discharged and looking for work, heck I could not even get a job as a dispatcher, they were "looking for someone with experience and someone with police marksmenship skills learned at the academy" I wanted to get on a SWAT team, I had an inside scoop that they needed SWAT cops, I had friends in the police department, but the Admins wanted a person with a "criminal justice background" regardless if they ever had been in combat. What they got at that time was two of the worst cops anyone had ever seen...one was fired and the other is possibly still serving time. But they were community college grads with a Criminal Justice background.

Wo ist der papieren?

Yep those deer and damned fine tasting!

Tell the Japs that the insurgents taste just like sushi!

Unfortunately it's also unconstitutional. However, if our only standard is whether it's effective or not and ignore the constitutionality, we could come up will all sorts of astounding reforms. Oh wait. That's exactly what's happening. Sources please?

Hey every time I have traveled abroad I had to have my passport, and or orders, unless I was willing to be a 3D target.

German Shepherds are so cute and cuddly...unless they are being grouchy. Or decide someone is a threat (and the dog is right)

We used to call them "Officers of the Peace" Guys like Miland Suess, and Rainbo's Dad.

I wonder how many miles you will get out of a set of training wheels
