Even dumb ole me, who ain't no crack shot, with one of those nifty (off theshelf) Styer-Mannlicher countersniper rifles with the neato Zeiss autoranging scope was able to punch a coke can 5 for 5 after one ranging(cheater) shot at 600 meters. I'm told that the FBI has much nicer rifles than that. And I ain't trained.
(couldn't hit the Mountain Dew can, couldn't see it)
Horiuchi shot Mrs Weaver at slightly over 200 meters .... not much o of a chnace he didn't hit what he was aiming at ... which begs the question of *wha* was he aiming at? The rules of engagement promulgated by Louis Freehs buddy Potts (I think) were nothing more than a death warrant and I have heard that most of the FBI marksmen balked at them ... but not good ole 'doin what I'm told to do' Lon ... yeah right!
Whether what he did was right or wrong needs to be decided in a court of criminal law. He killed an individual in the name of the people using our tax dollars, the people are deserving of an accounting. ____________________________________________________________________ | | | The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there | | be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves. | | | | -Alan Greenspan- | | | | _____ The Armadillo Group | | ,::////;::-.
