And before you think I believe that means anything, target shooting don't mean dick in the Real World.

Sum? Who cares?

Oh wait. You do because you called me out.

Lame.

Still, as acknowledgement, you apparently once shot well. In CO? Those cats weren't just discussing bulls eyes, there were degrees of bulls eyes...
Olypmic Marksmen training. That's your service...got it. Were you actually an Olympic Marksman? Zeke? Uh...OK...got that as well.

Actually, I was mentioning my time spent there (and I mentioned why, no Olympic dreams hatched or dashed) merely to refute the idea that paper punching in a vacuum means anything.

Obviously, that was past your understanding.

Here it comes.

Family of woman found dead in Texas jail files wrongful death suit

http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/...10F1I420150804

Would be very interesting to see how this unfolds since it is starting out to be a civil rights case.

In my most humble opinion, one of the above posts is true, and the other is a great big pile of steaming shit.

I'll leave it at that for now.

I refuse to believe that Zeke is any kind of expert marksman.

His views are so blinkered I doubt he could even see a target.

Did I claim to be an expert marksman? I've always been comparatively horrid with a long gun that no amount of instruction has helped.

As for Ms. Bland, her $$$ grubbing relatives who wouldn't bail her out have just gone "all in" for the cash.

Losers...

Well sure...they lost somebody who should not have been lost. But in the end they will win...not just the money either, they will win like Nicole Brown's family won, where who was responsible was legally identified.

What would be really interesting to see, Zeke is what I would expect to be the exceedingly short list of who would be bailing you out.

I feel your pain Zeke.

It's a real bummer when somebody calls you on your bullshit and you have to walk it back.

That's why I quit trying to bullshit people many many years ago.
