Shooting the tire would almost instantly deflate the tire. *ACTUALLY* shooting the tire is damned near impossible. I once came on duty at a checkpoint to find a bullet riddled renault wagon on the side of the road. A panicked haji with a trunk of AK’s tried to run the check point, and the gunner basically aerated the…

Most Police Officers are rarely marksmen. Only going in for annual certifications against static targets.

They do regularly, but why chastise a guy who opted not to do something dumb.

I wouldn’t trust a member of the NYPD discharging their weapon in a situation like this anyhow, trying to hit a moving target with the gun setup that they use. The NYPD requires 12 pound trigger pulls (a Glock comes standard with a 5.5 pound trigger pull, for reference) and an officer need only shoot around 50 rounds…

They are rather nice cosplays, aren’t they?

People need to chill out. I totally didn’t recognize that it was Tifa at first either. I played FFVII but hated it and I’d be hard pressed to recognize any cosplay from that game. I even replayed FFVII recently just to make sure I wasn’t just misremembering the game, but nope I still hate it and I still don’t remember…

So I clicked the Facebook share just to see a larger version of the picture with Riki ‘Riddle’ Lecotey. I have absolutely no idea what character she’s trying to portray, but... Good cosplays you got there, Riddle.

I thought causing a severe impact to the felon was THE WHOLE POINT of a prison sentence. I find I was mistaken.

I would bet all my worldly possessions that the judge gave more thought to protecting the defendant from being raped in prison than he did to protecting women from the defendant.

Yes, it’s an outrageous statement. He hasn’t admitted any culpability therefore it’s easy to conclude that he WOULD do it again as he doesn’t see that he did anything wrong. He is most definitely a danger to society and likely to re-offend. This judge is as bad as the rapist.

I’m not in favor of state sanctioned execution but oddly enough I’m cool with vigilante justice. Meaning if the dad had hit his target and managed to end this dude’s life, and I was on the jury, I’d let him walk in a heartbeat.

Which is ridiculous, there should be no live rounds anywhere near active filming.

It wasn’t a blank.

You’re half right. It was loaded with blanks. But one of the blank casings go jammed in the barrel... And the rest is history and Michael Masse’s biggest regret.

I’m not surprised to see a reply on your reasonable and empathetic comment from someone both blaming Muslims as a whole, and “PC SJWs” for this as a whole. I’m sorry someone so shitty responded to your comment.

Tyler, thank you for your sensible, not sensationalist, reporting!

God, that would have driven me NUTS as a child. My parents trusted me. I never had a curfew growing up. The rule was they had to know where I was, I couldn't get in any trouble, and I had to go to school and keep good grades. All that was done, I could pretty much do whatever I wanted. It made me a very independent…

I wonder if all these people regret having kids because they don't LET THEM ALONE for a minute.

As a dad I exist right now to pay bills and help support my wife while she finishes up her degree. I work hard to build a nice world for my three boys. They do fight and disrespect their mother occasionally which makes me insane. I have to teach them, separate them, discipline them and I even occasionally lose it…
