Pretty shocking update today - two of the weapons this dude had on him were stolen from Maricopa County Sheriff's Office... This is the written article, below - the one that just showed on local news stated that one of the weapons was full auto... Shiit gonna hit the fan here... https://www.azfamily.com/news/weapons-recovered-after-i--gunfight-in-phoenix-were-stolen/article_46bcf2f8-dd58-11e8-927a-972878f53a3f.html

Not really a pic of the day, but a story of the day. US Troops drink Iceland out of beer in one weekend. What did they expect?!... https://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/u-s-troops-drink-iceland-capitals-entire-beer-supply-in-one-weekend

Quite a few, from what I've been able to find so far. Details on this stuff went radio-silent today. They had the highway shut down for 18 hours for the investigation, and reopened just before noon today. Details now are hard to come by, but I found this pic - it's from a news video linked below it. It's clear to see that those front DPS vehicles, and that undercover minivan, were firing right through their own windshields. Again, that passenger in the minivan was on it, and the driver was gettin' it done, too. That passenger, though - He was focused... on one thing. Here's that news vid:

You fucked up!... "HEY, ARE YOU A HIGH SPEED DEATH MACHINE TRAPPED IN A DOUCHEBAG'S BODY?!!?"

FUK YEAH!!! I love that vid...

Here's an update on the deceased shiitbag, and some background on what happened... https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/phoenix/2018/10/30/interstate-17-gunfight-phoenix-tempe-police-shootout-add-unprecedented-year/1820036002/ It was all GO as soon as they turned him. That unmarked minivan was a Mesa unit, according to that article,which makes sense. Whoever was in the passenger seat of that thing is a badass. He got it done. Last shot fired was from that minivan, after the truck went backwards into the jersey barriers. It's amazing that nobody reported any damage to their vehicles (that weren't part of this). That means that all the rounds went into the intended target vehicle. Unreal.

That damn thing is gorgeous!

YES!!!

That's excellent! Tucked away safely, in the drawer!

For Merle, and his C-17 history - we talked about this at his house... The CADILLAC of Paradrop Operations, right there. One thing I didn't mention - just thought about it when I watched that vid above... In '99 or 2000, I "got tasked" (read, volunteered, as the Sky Whore that I am) to "test" the static line extensions that we needed, to the standard parachute, in order to jump the C-17. Need a 5-foot extension to the parachute static line jump that Big Bitch... All expenses paid vacation to Airborne Test Force in Yuma, AZ, in order to do this, with the "guarantee" we'd get at least 4 jumps over the weekend. What a great trip... Static Jumpmaster says, "IF YOU CATCH A D-BAG TO THE FACE WHEN YOU EXIT, MAKE SURE YOU TELL THE DZSO WHEN YOU GET ON THE GROUND!!!......... GO!!!..." I was the door jumper on the first jump, when he yelled that, then the damn green light came on and I fucking LEFT... and I was thinking... WTF did he just say?!!?... Didn't take a Deployment Bag to the face, so it all worked out... We had to rotate through jump positions, and nobody ever ate a D-Bag, so it was declared "successful," and we were jumping the C-17 at Lewis before anyone else was... Those Airborne Test Force dudes had video cameras ALL OVER that aircraft, even outside the jump door (above and below), catching everything we did. After every damn jump we had to go back and watch all the videos, from all the angles - before we were released to go drinking that night... Phillips DZ, in Yuma. Pure sand, de-rocked a hundred times, so they said... That first jump I had no choice but to land, running with the wind... Normally, that would SUCK... and I tried to avoid it, but just couldn't... it was the softest fucking landing I've ever had - even running with the wind... I was bracing for it, just KNOWING it was goona SUCK BAD... and I hit, sunk, and slid... and I was laughing my entire ass off, all of it... Best DZ EVER...

And we, literally, just talked on the phone about this very specific scenario... Yesterday. The conversation was going somewhere, when you had to interrupt me with "I need to deal with this gunshot victim, gotta go..."

That's cool. That's what Mountain Lions usually do. They come back for it later. We have those, too, in AZ. You got Jaguars? We do. You can call it what you want, but when it's in my backyard, two feet from my backdoor, it's an issue, and not a small one. People lose pets to coyotes here all the time - and I've chased the mangy bastards down the street on a Mtn bike, to get them out of my neighborhood. I shoot then whenever I can - call those fuckers in, and get rid of them. I just did a search on "sierra foothills mountain lion killing spree" to see what you were talking about. I got nothing of significance, so please share some of your news: https://www.google.com/search?q=sierra+foothills+mountain+lion+killing+spree&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-1-ab

Which you and I absolutely ROCK at... We shoot well enough together, to break AR500 targets...

I'm not LE, but they had to pit that guy, for whatever their reasons were. I'm sure the details will be spilling out on this one, since they unloaded on him on a major highway, in traffic, in Phoenix. As soon as they turned him (the suspect), he was firing through his own windshield, back at them all. They unloaded on him. First shots fired were from the suspect vehicle, and as soon as he was facing them, he went after them. You see that damn undercover minivan roll in there at 0:28? Whoever the guy was in the passenger seat, he was ready - he had that door propped open, ROLLING, and firing back at that white truck. That guy deserves recognition, for certain. They rolled right in there with bullets flying, and that guy returned some accurate fire, from a moving vehicle... What the news here is saying is that the Trooper injuries were mostly from flying glass - which is good. No direct GSW. It just sucks that this center of uranus was good enough to do even that. He's where he needs to be now, though...

That dummy thinks he's me... 10 feet tall, three rows of teeth, two coats of hair, and bulletproof... He doesn't understand that he's 12 pounds and a foot tall. It's all 12 pounds of attitude, though... I respect the little fucker...

Loc-Tite 609 is what you're after, for this task. That's the one. It's description makes perfect sense, too. On the Grendel Forum, they advocate it on every barrel installation, as well as truing the upper receiver face. I've never done it, on any of them. Don't know if my accuracy would increase or not, but it's never been an issue, so I just haven't invested in the 609 or the receiver lapping tools.

Got 3 AZ State Troopers in the hospital after this one today. They had to PIT this jackass on the I-17, in traffic, and the shots started. The 3 Troopers are expected to be alright, but the details are still coming in... Flawless PIT, too, at pretty good speed.

"Hanksville" is excellent, brother!...

An easy way to test this out is dry-fire training. Lay down behind the gun, in your living room. Stick your phone out there in front of you with a stopwatch on the screen, so you can watch it. DON'T breathe deep, just full exhale, and watch that stopwatch tick away... Maintain the position, without breathing in - just hold it out... and see how long it takes before you start shaking in the sight... Then, do the deep breaths, and watch that time go up before you start shaking... Intentional Hyperventilation... Yep, tried and true. It's been a part of training the the better part of a century.

MAN! Tacticat came in earlier, but Bitchy Cat didn't wanna come in, at that time. Then TactiCat lost his shiit... After I ran that fucker off, I grabbed the flashlight and went looking for her. I searched all over the backyard, half worried I was gonna find her chewed up behind the shed or something. LAST PLACE I checked, she was there, and fine. She was up on the wall, right up against the house, on the east side, scrunched into the smallest ball she could make herself. She didn't want to come down, so I had to calm her down and get her off the wall. She tucked in tight once I had her. She's fine now, and over it. Both those jackasses wanted to go out as soon as I got home tonight, but it was already dark. Nope. I've got half a dozen of those .22 Cal Blank trips, and two shotshell blank trips. Those things are going up. At least I'll know if it comes back, and hopefully that freaks it out bad enough that it doesn't even think of coming back. My initial reaction wasn't fear - I was PISSED. I was worried after running it off, though, about Bitchy... This thing was easily twice the size of TactiCat - but that silly bastard was ready to try to fight it... This ain't no Labrador or Boston Terrier, you Knucklehead...

From that second link: This pretty much lists his parts - but it doesn't say anything about why BATFE went after him, and decided to go against FATD determinations... https://princelaw.files.wordpress.com/2018/10/certification-of-exhibits.pdf

Had a FUCKING BOBCAT in my backyard tonight. OH HELL NO!... I let the two cats outside everynight, so they can chill out, and act like they're gonna get one of the doves out back. Tacticat is a Lizard Stalker, and he can fuk them up when they're out there. God forbid, I'd ever have a DOG in the backyard, he'd lose his shiit... So tonight, I let them out, and it's getting dark... I leave the door open, and he comes in. I didn't notice that Bitchy Cat did NOT come in, so I shut the door. 'bout 30 minutes later,Tacticat BLOWS THE FUK UP AT THE DOOR!!! He's going more batshit crazy than the last ex-wife, or over ANY dog he's tried to fight, and I can't figure it out!!!.... I look out the dooir, and there's a fucking BOBCAT ON MY PATIO!!! The mental calculus in my reaction time cannot even be explained. In a rapid split-second, I realized that I have nothing - NOTHING - to shoot this thing with, within city limits. I know enough of the cops here, and shoot with enough of them, that I could "make a connection" if someone I didn't know responded... and I still had nothing... 9mm close by, mag of 9mm snakeshot, 45ACP close by - this motherfucker was OUTSIDE MY PATIO DOOR!!! SHOTGUN! It's right there on the back of the couch! Fuk no, can't shoot that here. FUK ME!!! THis all went down in 0.23 seconds, after seeing this fuckker on my patio. I reacted, in the only way I could... I threw that door open and CHARGED that furry motherfucker, with all my caveman fury, frenzy, and valor. I was gonna STOMP that motherfucker right into a part of my backyard... ...but it was FAST. Holy SHIIT was it FAST. I've never seen an animal react so fast - this fukker was GONE! Like, SO FUCKING FAST I COULDN'T TELL WHICH DIRECTION HE WENT!!! In a natural attempt to MAKE SURE he was outta my yard, I was out there stomping around, grabbing anything I could, and throwing it in every direction I though he might have went. My backyard is a fucking disaster right now. It looks like the hurricane that missed - hit. I think I fucked up my air compressor that was out back on the back porch. I reached a magnitude of "retard strength" during this ordeal, that I hurled that compressor out into the yard, after that hairy, no-tail-havin', tufted-eared motherfucker... FUK! I swear I wish I could have got my hands on it. That motherfucker better NOT come back here, ever. If I coulda grabbed it, one of two things were happening - kinda like Tequila. Wild Jungle Monkey Sex, or someone's gettin' the SHIIT beat out of them. Sometimes BOTH. If I coulda grabbed that hairy female cat, I was gonna choke it out, or get cut up like Freddy Krueger got me... MOTHERFUCKER!!! I'm pissed. There's ZERO REASON that fucker should be in my god damned backyard. I'm setting up the shotgun shell trips now, along the perimeter. I'm gonna get that bastard. This is war.

Just lay back and let it happen, Merle. It's destiny, no other way it couldn't be...

I see you looking at this thread, Greg... don't close it yet... This is the best For Sale thread ever!...

^^^ He keyed on it, and I could talk about it for HOURS. This STARTED with Lexington and Concord. What led up TO that and what happened after - is what made this country, and made the Declaration Of Independence, and later resulted in the Constitution Of The United States. I can carry on about this for days...
