What a horrible thing to say. Do you remember some guy named Timmothy, a Christian. I believe he caused some problems down there a few years ago.
Fundamentalist in Northern Irland are still at it.

It hasn't anything to do with being Muslim it has to do with fanatics who kill in the name of God.

Would it be proper to call all Christians racist terrorist because of him? I should hope not.

I don't mean any offense by the way just your little comment was a little sterotypical due to recent events. If we all end up thinking all Muslims or only Muslims are terrorist then we are fools and will end up shooting ourselves in the foot. I hope these guys get what is coming to them.

The EXPERTS said that it was going to be an angry white male, about the age of 20-30, with sniper training or a hunting back ground. Turns out he was a black male, 41 years of age, with no sniper training or hunting back ground. And he was part of the security detail for the nation of islams million man march ( it was actually more like 150,000 man march ).

And do you remember how he got railroaded and how Janet Reno would not investigate the leads pointing at Muslims backing if not actually planning the whole thing [img]smile.gif[/img] Fortunately now the Reno is out, there are new investigations and this little nastyness is being exposed, there is a possibility the McVeigh was not involved at all. (but that is remote) But wouldnt that be a kick in the head [img]smile.gif[/img]

Well he was a pretty darn good shot so I would think he would have had to have some type of training so even if it was just practice on a range somewhere. He was formal military so it is possible it was a hobbie or something. Very few people are natural marksmen without ever having fired a weapon before.

So much for the Anti-Redneck-gun-toting-white-male crowd [img]smile.gif[/img]

Why is everybody so impressed with mostly body shots at 100 yards or less? He was former military at a base that does have sniper trainng, but he wasnt part of the sniper school, he was just a grunt. But they do teach grunts which end the bullet comesout of.
