I read in one of the articles somewhere that after spinning Carruth off the porch that Read started to move toward him. The video doesn't show Read at this point. But if true, it could make a world of difference. IDK man. its Texas and the laws there are different. On the surface it looks like a bad shoot. Lots of info here that we aren't privy too. What bothers me is that the media is making a big thing about Carruth being well off, a politically connected republican and his judge ex-wife. Seems like this is another case that'll be tried in the court of public opinion.

Got my booster about a week ago. Information is still scarce, but it seems this new Omicron variant is seriously spooking the powers that be. I have a real bad feeling that Covid is nowhere near over.

I saw on the news a little while ago that the Orpheum Theater in Memphis has canceled the live stage musical of The Lion King. It was supposed to run for a week. They got in the first show, but then cast and crew members tested positive for Covid. Not sure, but I think the whole tour is now canceled. Lots of disappointed theater fans. Tickets for this are pretty expensive. Many didn't know the show was canceled until they showed up at the theater. I'm not much for live theater myself. But this was a big deal in Memphis. They've been advertising it for weeks. Its a major social event here.

This happened two weeks ago. I went looking for updates. It appears no charges have been filed. OH CRAP! Its gone viral. Here's where its gonna get real messy. https://celebsaga.com/kyle-carruth-shooting-lubbock-justice-for-chad/

Dead guy is obviously a belligerent attacker. He's physically bigger and continued his attack even after a weapon was presented. However, he's unarmed and never physically assaults the shooter. Just yelling and shoving. Shooter is assaulted in his own home by a trespasser who refused to leave when told to. He introduced the weapon into the situation. Stand your ground law? Child custody and visitation issues can often be very volatile. Was dead guy supposed to be there at that time? IDK. Looks like a bad shoot to me. Drugs, alcohol involved? History? Could go either way. Depends a lot on info we don't have. This one is gonna get ugly.

I like it!

I had a long drawn out response to this, but thought better than to post it. You make valid points and have good ideas. While we have the best system of government there is, that system is broken beyond repair. Our government is corrupt from top to bottom. To them its all about political gamesmanship, money and power. We, the people, no longer matter.

Stupid has consequences.

Yes there is. I've used it many times. That's the smart way to do it. Decide what your absolute max is and bid that via auto bid. If you get beat, so be it. Walk away. I, too, have pretty much given up on GB. I've gotten some great guns there in the past. But these days the prices are high, the competition tough and now with sales taxes, its just not worth it anymore.

I think its a valid point. MSM relies heavily on racism. Did anybody else notice that national news coverage of the Collierville shooting quickly disappeared from MSM when it was revealed that the shooter was a POC (asian)?

I've been outbid more times than I could ever count. But that's just part of the game. GBs 15 minute rule can be both good and bad. I remember when last second sniping was all the rage. There was even an app to bid for you with only a few seconds left. OTOH: I've seen auctions extended for several hours because of it.

Y'all worry about proving a defamation suit. MSM are major corporations like any other. Odds are if Kyle files a suit, they'll pay big just to get him to go away. OTOH: if he wants to make an example of them, the fight is on!

Looks interesting. I don't need another .22 handgun. But if I stumble across one of these for sale I could easily see myself saying "What the hell? Why not?"

Yep, best kind. What'd ya hit it with?

I don't think so. I believe this may well be a case of a career criminal who got himself high as a kite, committed another crime, unexpectedly found his escape route blocked and paniced. At least that's my guess based on the very limited info currently available.

I saw in the news this morning that the driver may have been fleeing the scene of another crime. Nothing definite on that yet. My guess is that drugs or alcohol were involved.

I think I'd just replace that stock. Shouldn't be hard to find one. I know about the bluing issue. Never thought about Cerakoteing one. I'll be very interested in seeing how it comes out.

Just to let y'all know the final outcome. I contacted Springfield, they provided a RMA number and sent a shipping label. I shipped the original order back Friday. Its cool.

I don't really believe the feds can charge him with anything. However, powerful political people and liberal public opinion are pushing hard for it. Since when has a little detail such as the law ever gotten in the fed's way? Don't take anything for granted. I just e-mailed my Congress Critters to let them know how I feel. I suggest that you do too.

It pisses me off that the liberals are calling for Federal intervention. They didn't get their way so now they want the feds to charge him with something, anything. Interesting how these so-called progressive thinkers can't understand the concept of double jeopardy. Hey! Cry baby! You lost! Get over it!

I wasn't really familiar with the company, so I looked them up. They sell AR parts? Not really my thing so I doubt I'd ever do business with them anyway. Even if I did need something, there are plenty of other choices. Good to know about them though.

The three prime corollaries of Murphy's Law: 1. Nothing is as easy as it looks. 2. Everything takes longer than you expect. 3 And of course, if anything can go wrong...............

The trailer looks pretty good.
