If that's the guy, I hope everything in that picture was burned to ash. Amazing what motivated cops can find the in trash miles away. And can these guys not put a little rolled-up gauze in their cheeks? Totally changes one's face. SO I've heard.

If they're releasing these pics, they got more to go on that "man dressed in black". :( Still, talk about a standard-issue white boy.

Can anyone comment on tracing him by the gun? An older model Mauser .30-06 doesn't sound uncommon, and the ammo certainly isn't. For those not in the know, here's my joke about AR rounds. Friend and I used to shoot holes in 3/8" plate steel with 30.06, looked like they were drill pressed. LOL, that fucker got smoked by a WWII cannon shell from a WWII rifle!

Lol why are the labels backward?

That's the joke. People think AR-15s are these horrific weapons when a common deer hunting rifle is far, far deadlier.

Ahh gotcha. Lol I've been drinking a bit and didn't make the connection.

The reason for the 5.56 round is actually pretty fucked up. It's designed to "wound not kill" which sounds good on paper, the "intent" is that killing one person removes one person from the battlefield, while wounding one person removes 3. But the reality is that it's small and very high velocity to tumble and ricochet in the body after penetration. It's not unheard of to see an entrance in the arm and exit out of the chest for instance.
