    As of reporting now it's a hung jury. They have been asked to try and break it but no dice yet. I'm willing to bet he gets off.

      Are you serious? I thought that was Cosby.

      Unbelievable. This might be the case that convinces me a cop can murder someone in cold blood and get off (and also get acquitted).

        Just read it in the paper today. They got jury instructions all over again because as of now they're hung.

          Wonder if they will retry him, I'm assuming this ends with a hung jury. I can't imagine any of the jurors leaning towards no guilty will change their minds about the Scary Black Man. I think the best the prosecutors can get is a plea bargain to avoid a 2nd trial, and I wouldn't give very good odds on that.

            Wyoming has very little gun-related violence, yet there are more guns than people there. Children are taught respect and careful use of guns from an early age. The noise and recoil alone, in a child's hands, are plenty impressive. You learn instinctively to fear what it can do when used improperly; you never use it for "self-expression" or for political commentary. You know how dangerous it can be and treat it accordingly.

            Adolescents, on the other hand, think they will live forever and that nothing will ever harm them. Worst time in life to use a gun for the first time.
            Wyoming also has a population density of 6 people per square mile and a total population less than the Des Moines metropolitan area.

            Something tells me that plays a bigger role than anything you just said.

              Maybe. Doesn't Minnesota have the same stat where there are more guns than people?

                I believe as of this year, it's true for the entire country.

                My point is gun violence is primarily an urban thing, and Wyoming lacks anything that counts as urban. (Cheyenne is smaller than most Big 10 football stadiums)

                      My maternal grandfather got his hands on one in WWII. He never saw any battle action because he was a POW camp guard in the Philippines, so he wasn't issued one. One of the Marines that came through was headed home and didn't want anything to do with it.

                      They had a flaw, a loud pinging noise when the last round of the clip was fired. Announced to everyone you were out and had to reload. Of course our boys were smart and started carrying around empty clips. Fire a shot or two, flick an empty clip with their finger, see the enemy take a peek, BLAM.

                        My friend knew all about these. Apparently they are from Korea and being repatrioted. In between his Flagish anti-Obama argle bargle I gleaned that gun nuts have been wanting to get their mitts on these for a long, long time.

                          Sounds like a great plan for ISIS kind of domestic terrorism. Put lots of guns the hands of paranoid people with a hate agenda.

                          Reminds us of what "make america great, again" really references in terms of the time period they want.

                              Thanks! These are not the ones he thought, he will be thrilled.

                              I asked him is he was CMP and he laughed. Later my co-worker told me he's actually placed at nationals and he was a sniper in active service. Yikes! I went shooting with him once and had no basis of comparison, but I guess it's unusual to hit the center of the bullseye with every shot at max distance with three different weapons.

                                My father had a standard Garand issued to him in basic training. He had a an M1C variant issued to him when he went to his "specialty school" after basic. He claimed the base model was more accurate because the mounts on M1C had a negative effect on operation (and accuracy) when rifle was warm from sustained fire. He only shot the M1D variant a couple times.

                                Then he admitted today's average hunting rifle in .30 is just as or more accurate.
