everyone will relate to this since we all have different dogma.
A quote of a quote? Without context? You serious? When i looked at X today, i found only bullshit, AI video fakes and great conspiracy theories. X is a bubble. Pop out of it. Or were you just looking for the door and lost this meme here?  -------------- When i woke up after a short nap today, i realized that green weekend candle was only a dream  I hope Stiffler didn't leave us, though.

...@Hueristic: I originally said "good shot" about the 200m strike to the neck, assuming the assassin being not being a well trained shooter. There are a few points i'd like ask you as a Marine, though:
1. Police special forces snipers (in my home country) are trained to aim for the small brain, because it takes down the victim without twitching a muscle, in case he/she is holding a gun or bomb trigger. That might be different in military tactics, where this is quite pointless.
2. How much does wind play into the precision of a 500 yard shot? How do you correct for it? Especially the direction. I assume that headwind and tailwind also have a slight effect on how much the projectile "falls" in a certain range, but that might be Millimeters. I also think that it depends a lot on the characteristics of the bullet and load/energy of the shell/powder used (speed and rotation of the projectile).
1) Sounds plausible, most cops would be taking the shot at very close range with a scope, a long gun and in the prone position not to mention the fact there are multiples of them firing at the same time. 2) We literally call that setting the windage and it helps to know it or to be able to take a test shot and then adjust of course the closer you are the less its a factor and at 200 yards its not very relevant. AFA elevation you have a chart for your ammo/rifle range and you take that into account you also take into account if your elevation is higher or lower. IIRC it takes about 2 weeks for a marine to learn the basics and then he is either a marksman or he is doing those 2 weeks again or going home a failure. Thanks for the info! About that two weeks: Totally reasonable. We have a small army unit of well and hard trained soldiers in my home country. It can be compared to the Marines and occasionally they meet in friendly military contests, where they usually receive high respect, and vice versa. The dropout rate is very high in the first year of training. EDIT: Holy shit, a short scroll on twitter showing the public really running hot on the Kirk assassination. This won't help to reduce the dividing of the people. So much shit and Elon joined in to stir the pot. Insanity forecast: 10/10. I think i'll open twitter again next month or so. I have no problem if all people (globally) calling for violence would just kill each other, leaving the peaceful population behind. Wouldn't that make a great solution where everybody gets what he wanted? The good people clean up the mess and live happily after. So simple, it might be stupid. Think about it. Extremist vs extremist would be fun to watch on TV. Somewhat like the hunger games and squid games combined. Let's see how well this post fares.

Hmm... * OutOfMemory is disabling his morale circuits If i now spin this idea a little further, it could be extended to murderers, and evolve to the "Next WWE". It would save a ton of money, prison cells could be freed and convicted murderers awaiting death penalty wouldn't have to be taken care of for years before they face their ultimate consequence. Many people would think twice before killing or trying to kill somebody. Such a show would definitely represent some kind of justice. * OutOfMemory is enabling his morale circuits again Hmm, this is a great idea for a movie. Let's call it "Running Man" or something like that?!

The far right and the far left are one and the same. And they squeeze the more normal people out of the narative.
I am a centrist and find it easy to pick what I like from either side.
Unfortunately there seems to be far too many on the left or right that want to point a finger..
Here is my centrist take. I want Trump to send tons of troops to both Houston and Chicago both are crime filled hell holes.
One is eft and one is right.
Let's then see which one turns around first.
This is compromise at its best yet no one talks about it.
They either point at the left or the,right.
The only reason I didn't give your post more merit was that I don't agree with using the military against civilians (including criminals). That is what police are for. Military force should only be used to keep the police (also including criminals) in line. Other than that, I fully agree. Fuck that left-wing/right-wing bullshit.

I understand and misinterpreted your comment as only pertaining to this incident. I have no argument against there being hate spewed from both sides. Though, I will somewhat agree with OgNasty due to personal experiences living in both very blue and very red states. In the conservative areas, I have heard a lot of disgust with the more liberal lifestyles, especially pertaining to what goes on in schools curriculum now a days (i.e. the essentially pornographic materials in books/curriculums, trannies brought into schools for whatever reason, "sex ed" teaching gay/trans ideology, etc). They basically say if that's what you want to do, do it somewhere else. We don't want that here. In the overwhelmingly liberal city I lived in, there was, essentially, this inherent hate for the conservatives and their lifestyle. I would try and probe them, wanting to understand where this vitriol, this anger spawned from, but there was never a rationale given. It was like arguing with a woman when she "feels" a certain way, and thus justifies her completely illogical thinking (I'm assuming any guy reading this with a gf/wife can relate, haha). They had this mindset that "right is bad, we need to destroy it so everyone can be happy" (no, the hypocrisy of this type of statement is not lost on me). Why? Just because. Or, "they want to destroy us, we have to destroy them first"... how do you know they want to destroy you? "It is obvious, they just do!" Yes, some more extreme conservatives would say similar things, I don't deny that. The glaring difference between the two is the amount of people with that mindset in each group. It was as though there was an inverse correlation between the two; A small minority of the right vs the vast majority of the left. Even now I still don't understand why they feel that way, it is quite interesting from a psychological perspective. What I am more nervous (for lack of a better word) about is escalation from both sides due to this incident. The, divide and conquer the masses so no one focuses on gov anymore, being pushed so hard that it leads to the detriment of us all in the US. It makes me think of this poem (is it a poem?) and where we will be if/after this happens: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/12279767-the-most-terrifying-force-of-death-comes-from-the-handsThis post is why america is doomed. The far right and the far left are one and the same. And they squeeze the more normal people out of the narative. I am a centrist and find it easy to pick what I like from either side. Unfortunately there seems to be far too many on the left or right that want to point a finger.. Here is my centrist take. I want Trump to send tons of troops to both Houston and Chicago both are crime filled hell holes. One is eft and one is right. Let's then see which one turns around first. This is compromise at its best yet no one talks about it. They either point at the left or the,right. You just mentioning random s-t, @phil Why Houston and Chicago? Have you ever been in the last 20 years or so? Houston does have crime, but the city mostly consists of several enclaves-some with abject poverty, and some very prosperous. I recently was on a charity road trip in some of the poorest neighborhoods and there the populace looks desperate. In other Houston areas, like Bellaire, West University, River Oaks, etc, there are many blocks of multi million $$ mansions and high retail. Houston is a "tale" of multiple cities under one moniker, so generalizations like this are mostly not accurate. For the overall per capita statistics of crime in US, visit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_crime_rateThen, play with arrows for Total crime per capita or some other parameter. When i did this, the table shows the highest crime per capita in US in (from higher to lower among highest ten): Memphis (TN), Oakland (CA), Detroit (MI), Little Rock (AR), Baltimore (MD), Cleveland (OH), Kansas City (MO), Milwaukee (WI), St. Louis (MO), Dayton (OH). Chicago is actually 109 out of 200, so somewhere in the middle, Houston is lower, but not bottom 10. If you only count murders, then Chicago is in 21st place (from the bottom), Houston is less (higher/better on the list). The same cities that are high in the total crime rates are prominent in this list as well.

If the weekend doesn't show up with green candles, a new bright morning can attract the goddess of the bull. The weekend should take the bear while the new week should renew the bull trend...everyone is curious to see the bull around the green grasses.

Since Houston is more right then left worse crime than Chicago and both are near 2,000,000 I picked it. So it was not random. BTW most cities over 1,000,000 lean left in the USA
