His mom said he is mentally ill. Sorry, if I was the judge or the PD I want to see the medical records. Too much speculation especially in cases of mental issues. Cops or the public encountering someone waving a firearm around aren't mind readers.

Exactly! I've been warning about this very thing for a while now. The "who decides?" concept is key.

RIP. He was also in Die Hard with a Vengeance.

Upon further examination, Thorogood is from Delaware, not New Jersey.

Should have put a disclaimer. I don't know if these are correct.

Even though not in my home state Paul Revere and the Raiders was a big deal in our parts. Rarely hear their songs played any more but for pop/rock I thought they were pretty good.

Just a word about the environment in Houston. I don't know about the particular neighborhood, but Houston has long been known as a cesspool by other Texans, and this was before all the summers of love. Houston ISD was taken over by the state a few years ago because it was such a basket case...

Not to worry. Texas schools are social services centers which are expected to sub for parents and counseling centers. The left, of course, loves this.

I am not trying to minimize the problem and you're likely right about it being greater than 4%. As before, I'm just being cautious about going down the mental health road.

We just finished mental health refresher training at our school. Per the instructor only 4% of those committing criminal violent acts have mental health issues. Yet, $$$ and training for mental health are saturating our institutions, not to mention influencing public policy. I said before...

Since the 37mm on the jeep didn't fare too well, the TD Board still wanted a mobile AT gun and this is how the M8 armored car got its start. Being outclassed very quickly, it transitioned to the recon role where it performed well if the terrain was not too rugged.

Agree, just OK. Am pretty familiar with the production. One myth is that the comedy genius, Bill Murray, developed all of the specialized drill routines. Sorry, this was largely the drill sergeants themselves who did that. Murray frequently wandered off somewhere for days then returned from...

According to the link provided in the article, I don't see how O2 saturation into the blood plasma contributes that much to holding his breath for extended periods. The report at the link states blood plasma can hold 2% O2 versus 98% in the hemoglobin of the red blood cells. In my mind...

I'd rather have a Mark IV or an M4 than a T-34. Sloppy production QC, no separate fighting compartment, hard to bail from, ammo QC issues, and the list goes on. The quantity is its own quality doesn't really apply to the T-34 as most think IMO.
