Wonder what type of rifle and scope he was using. They never seem to say so.

Whatever it is, it should be used to S L O W L Y execute him.

I disagree. It'll still be too fast. The GF has better ideas for jerks like this. It isn't pretty or fast.

 

[Pilgrim]

he's 17?

 

[C-pher]

I'm not sure what's in the water in the Midwest....but I'm glad that it wasn't in my supply when I was in Ohio...

But it seems that Ohio/Indiana/Kentucky seems to have a lot of these "Highway Shooters." And I don't understand why.

Can you say "squeel like a pig" boy! Oh my, he will make someone a beautiful
bride in the slammer. I can only hope that he doesn't get away with juvenile
sentencing and has a very long relationship with his new domestic partner(s).

A look into those eyes tells you a lot.

I see an anti-social loser who is unable to relate to others, has no empathy, and sees the whole world against him.

Rot in jail, a**h***.

...investigators followed up on the tip Monday night, searched Blanton’s home and found a Remington Model 710 rifle with a scope that fires a .270-caliber round.

(helluva scope!)

From the Remington website:

Equipped with mounted Bushnell® Sharpshooter™, 3-9 x 40 scope, bore-sighted from the factory.

 

[tele_mark]

Well, that could never happen here in MAss -we've got too many gun laws to prevent it.

 

[Twigg]

My scope must be defective it only fires .22's !

On a more serious note, this jack*ss is why there needs to be a death penalty !

 

[Jose]

His uncle, Joseph Blanton, a mechanic who has a business near Gaston, described the alleged shooter as “a great kid” who sometimes helped him around the shop, most recently a couple of weeks ago.

He said he is “a good worker” who likes to talk about sports and car racing.

“I’m just heartbroken,” Joseph Blanton said. “I don’t think he done it.”

Yeah. Right......

A perfect little angel.

"Death by Leathal Injection"

A jail cell with a big guy with AIDS that says, "You're going to be my wife, boy".

 

[Twigg]

Why, why, why do all the folks who know the shooter always say "He was a good kid" ? Just ONCE I'd like for somebody who knew the shooter to say "Yeah he was a physco loner, always talkin' 'bout killing people at ramdom. We knew he was gonna snap !"

Somebody, somewhere must have noticed this kid sliding away from reality ...and chose to remain uninvolved and silent. Nobody ? Parents ? Teachers ?

 

[hallettguy]

this always happens cause they ran out of things to shoot in the midwest so they just shoot each other

 

[Nashmack]

Remmy 710 with scope, that'd be a wal mart special!

becuase people who are ranting psychos vent their frustration, and naturally release all their pent up aggression by subjecting everyone else to their ludicrous rantings..
its the quiet people who let it build and build internally till...well

thats why i never trust a person who doesnt swear..just isnt normal

They do but usually after the fact as in Columbine.

If that's the case you would trust me more than anyone you know.

 

[Nickle]

Hell, Derek, you're probably somewhere's in the top 3 or so for this forum. VT Country Girl and I are probably the other 2 even.

 

[Cross-X]

Derek swears? Who knew?

Gosh darn right!

I nearly spit my drink all over my monitor

I don't know, Nickle...I'd consider myself right the f&*k up there, too.

they're charging him as an ADULT.

I'm damn glad they got him... SWMBO flew out to Indianapolis on Sunday on business! She's still there, too.

 

[dwarven1]

I don't know, Nickle...I'd consider myself right the f&*k up there, too.

Me? Why, I'm just a mild mannered fella... never swear.

Much.

Except when some f***in' a****** cuts me off on I290 because he's not f****** looking where he's going, or I get 90 volts of ring voltage through me because some cheap m*****-f****** uses 66 blocks because he doesn't spend the $$$ for better designed stuff that doesn't electrocute the tech while he's working on it.

be glad. some moron would try to outlaw it!

 

[Len-2A Training]

Now you tell me not to trust my Wife!

She hates it when I swear, and I swear a fair amount. Ya shoulda heard me after I started working in the shipyard (GD/EB) . . . gads, I wasn't fit anymore for mixed company (back in the early '70s most women didn't swear, at least around men).

 

[Pilgrim]

Because the law would say you had a duty to do something about it and report it. You'd be brought up on some kind of charges or at least brought thru legal hell. Doncha know, it takes a village? You are responsible for everybody but yourself.
