You don't throw your other men under the bus. It's a race to the bottom from there.
Soon you'll be having to buy a friggin' Maybach to get some. We don't all have that kind of dough.
Twitter is the only social media I really use, and that's basically for sports.
I see quite a few people saying that the Beatles were overrated. I think that's just plain nuts. For them to have created the catalog they did in less than 6 years of active recording is mind-boggling.
I don't listen to them myself a whole lot anymore. But one of my sons has become a huge fan -- we're going to see Macca in London in a couple weeks. I've already seen him a couple times. But he hasn't -- and he's rightly worried there may not be many more opportunities.
This doesn’t change my working theory - that it was either an insider him/herself or that an insider hired the shooter.Reports this morning that the bullets were etched with the words Deny, Dismiss, and Depose. Sounds like the perp wanted to make a statement about how claims are dealt with.
Also @BadWakeboarder, this guy echos a lot of the thoughts you had yesterday when this broke:
It Might Seem Obvious What Happened to the United Healthcare CEO. Don’t Be So Sure.
A scholar of criminal justice and contract killing saw something else in the shooting—potentially.slate.com
What the article corroborates is that it is nearly impossible for a random mad person to know exactly where Thompson would have been and when.
I am starting to come around with it being a semi-pro job. The manual cycling of the pistol may mean he was using subsonic rounds (for noise control) which emit much less gas when fired and can require manual cycling. If it were mid day and on crowded streets, normal rounds would be preferred as they’d cause a massive panic and create an easier opportunity to escape. But being done before/at dawn when streets aren’t crowded can help create some stealth. Subsonic rounds with a silencer are fairly quiet.
Our soccer commubity events that go beyond one team. Always posted on fb groups. Bitch. Also events around town for my minion. Face.
It’s also the preferred way to sell something over sketchy-ass Craigslist.
Amateur.
My opinion, a cause-related event
Obviously not proficient with the firearm, a 9mm
automatic(allegedly) used as seen on surveillance video, and by recovered live rounds and casings
IF, a subsonic round would not cycle the weapon, any experienced shooter would not use that round.
If an Electric bicycle were used as part of an escape, there will be a record...
Not professional.
Also, the shooter had video on record, unmasked, from The Starbucks near the hotel.
Not professional.
Oh wow - seeing him in London will be pretty great. I'm super jealous.
Yeah, I think there are phases where it's cool or popular to crap on the Beatles. I'm a huge Beatles fan and have been since grade school. I've read a ton about them and feel like they're up there not only in musical relevance, but cultural influence in the 20th century.
The fact that it was quiet enough that someone in an office across the street didn't hear it and the way that they were able to handle the weapon indicate a person who knows that aspect of firearms (which isn't a common everyday person skill).
However, I have been on ride-alongs with private investigators for different projects and the things their ability to track people was astounding. The information they had about the movements of even highly protected people was ridiculous. That isn't everyday person type of ability, but it also isn't an ability that can't be developed by someone who is motivated. Feels like someone somewhere in-between a random pissed off newbie and a pro.
In terms of their influence, it used to be easier to list musicians who didn't cite The Beatles as an influence than to list the ones who did. Given the shifts in current popular music, and just the passage of time, I'm sure it's less the case than it used to be. But I'd also say that their influence may often still be there without people knowing it -- sort of across generations. Almost like saying that Jon Scheyer is in the Bob Knight coaching tree, whether he knows it or not.
My favorite is when people dismiss them as cheesy bubblegum four-chord pop -- which means they aren't very familiar with anything too far past "I Want to Hold Your Hand" and "She Loves You." When somebody does that, I feel like going all Yoda or Mr. Miyagi and saying "You have much to learn, my son."
Co-sign. Feel the same about Taylor swift. She’s the Beatles of my generation. She’s the soundtrack of my generation’s lives
I agree on everything except the subsonic rounds. If one is adept at manually cycling quickly - a subsonic round could still be preferable. The sound suppression achieved vs the inconvenience of having to cycle is a choice to be made.
Interesting stuff. Given the shooter’s obviously very young age, I’m again skeptical that he’s had time to develop such robust tracking skills.
The big stuff won’t happen unless we go through some dramatic economic downturn. Great Depression like occurrence.
That’s still a possibility, unfortunately.
I think this justifies a KC fine.
Taylor Swift? Are you imbibing this early?
$15.00

I do find my school Facebook groups helpful and wanted to give you a hard time
Law enforcement has released images of a guy they deem a person of interest. None of this should really matter as law enforcement will do its thing and I shouldn't be overly invested in the whodunnit. Also, law enforcement has way more available info than any of us have ... even if what they have isn't enough yet. That said, the images they released make me scratch my head. First, though the photos are super fuzzy so it's hard to draw any real conclusions, the images look like the guy is wearing a different hooded jacket and a different backpack. If it's really him (unless the images are quite some time apart), interesting disguise to wear a second-but-super-similar parka and a second-but-different-colored backpack (again, the photos are fuzzy, so who knows) around the time of the crime. Also, a little surprising that if this is the guy, he didn't really go to great lengths to plan out his episode to deny detection. Like, you might need to come with a couple different disguises as you navigate busy places in a crowd (coming and going) instead of, say, shopping at SBUX or dropping the mask or talking on a cell phone early in the morning near the scene of the crime. That's surely not the case and law enforcement has better intel and they confirmed the shooter actually did stay at a nearby hostel, etc., but still. This is why I shouldn't bother paying attention.
Can we account for Trey Galloway’s whereabouts at the time of the shooting?
God forbid you miss Bingo night.
I'd rather not discuss my search history...
I don’t know that it’s a different parka and backpack but instead could be the low light of the video on the street vs the high light countertop video.
In some low light cameras, the image gets amplified brighter.

Of course, in the released images, the guy might be wearing a jacket on top of the hoodie thing.
I am of the belief that she has to be a vampire or something.
I'll sign up to be drained....
Deny delay defend. How insurance rolls. Depose means to remove from office
It's in the first paragraph of the story. Depose can also mean give a written testimony.
Blackjack table, obvs.
