Survival of the Fittest, in action. Good, no need for either moron in the general population. We don't need these idiots spawning.
I have a t-shirt that says "STUPID PEOPLE SHOULDN'T BREED". Yes, all caps, 3" high letters. I need to wear it more often.Hopefully he didn’t breed first.
They are equalMy only question is, is one dumber than the other?
The article mentions vest and plate so it seems like it was a plate carrier with a plate. He was shot in the abdomen so maybe the shooter aimed low. Not that any of that matters, they're both morons.
He is gone but now his family will have to deal with his loss. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe body armor is labeled as to what threat it will safely handle. Sounds like this guy took a center fire rifle hit on a vest rated to stop handgun rounds only.

They are equal
We tested a vest on the range last summer. Without anyone in it.
It did a perfect job of stopping EVERY handgun round. Shook as it absorbed the energy.
Let a .223 round go at it. That .223 round penetrated BOTH sides of the vest and continued the next 100 yards uninterrupted.
(.223 55 grain nothing special round for training)
The vest did NOT move on impact. Did not move AT ALL.
We even wondered if we missed.
NOPE.
Entrance and exit holes were there.
Looks to be a pass through.

Man dies after being shot through ballistic vest
At one point the victim, identified in the news release as 25-year-old Parker Ray Lynch of Thatcher, reportedly put on the vest and, with a ballistic plate in place, had one of the others shoot at it. The shot reportedly penetrated the vest and plate.
Graham County Dispatch was notified at approximately 5:56 p.m. Monday, and first responders found Lynch with a gunshot wound to the abdomen. Medically trained members of the Pima Police started giving him aid. Members of the Thatcher Police and Graham County Sheriff’s Office also responded to the scene.
The rifle, vest and plate were recovered at the scene. According to the news release, evidence indicated the shot that struck Lynch was fired by a subject named Steven R. Watson. Based on the circumstances, Watson was arrested and booked into the Graham County Adult Detention Facility on a manslaughter charge.

Damn. I bitch at the cost of the splatter targets or shoot n see targets. My range bag has a stack of paper plates in it. I only use the "expensive" targets when I take someone to the range.
Shooting at a vest is expensive. You might as well use a Porsche for a target.
A vest that can stop a .223. What kind of vest is capable of doing that ?
