Careful Observation

… and appreciated!

From a really quick query on the web: The history of "do re mi" can be traced back to the 11th century when Italian monk Guido of Arezzo created the solfege system of naming notes: Guido based the system on the first syllable of each line of the Latin hymn "Ut queant laxis", also known as the "Hymn to St. John the Baptist". Purpose Guido's goal was to create a unified system of musical notation by connecting the conventional notes to a fixed sound. Impact Guido's innovations laid the foundation for almost all music since then. His methods included naming notes based on a melody, writing notes on lines or in spaces, and developing a system of accurate notation.

Looking carefully at the picture in the OP, it LOOKS like the plastic portion of the shell has collapsed back into the brass!! Notice the lettering on the failed shell is farther into the brass than the fired shell. I wouldn’t want to try it, but is it likely that if you HAD fired that round, it would have acted like a muzzle loader and just sent the slug down range? Perhaps at a lower velocity, but still clearing the barrel??

Play it CLOSE!!

DEFINITELY!!

When I worked for Jeep, back in the late ‘70s, the Wagoneer Limited came with an optional 401 cu. in. AMC V8! We sold a lot of ‘em!! They were bad about rusting, so we had every one we sold sent out and given a ZIEBART treatment. It added a couple hundred pounds to the weight of an already heavy vehicle!! Those wagons NEEDED that engine to drive all the smog pumps and A/C units and drag that land barge around!

Ain’t THAT the truth!!

GET A ROOM!!!

Still not a threat!! A statement that he will defend himself is no threat!! The attacker was never mentioned in the internet statement. This, in fact, would classify the attack as having been planned and executed with “malice afore thought”, thus elevating and reinforcing the self defense claim!!

It says in the portion of Mass. law that is posted above that mere verbal exchange is NOT reason to warrant an attack! That you can’t attack someone for something they said that is not a direct threat accompanied by some item or action and claim self defense. It says nothing about what level of possible provocation is necessary to warrant such an attack! It basically says that such an attack is all but inexcusable unless a direct threat is made and a weapon is brandished to back up that threat. No such action was taken by the man who was attacked. Mere words or gestures from across a busy street do not rise to such a level.

Every Time!!

Walk Off homer in the bottom of the ninth! Sox actually win one!!

No pass out!!

Motorcycles and hammocks!!

Tumbleweed Wagon They called them “tumbleweed wagons” because like their namesake, the Russian thistle, they seemed to wander aimlessly across the territory picking up bad guys and transporting them to more secure facilities. A tumbleweed wagon was a jail on wheels used to take prisoners to a more permanent jail or prison. Many of those small town jails weren’t secure enough to hold a hardened criminal for long.

...and my man works the door!

Bonfire and beverages!

You’re making my point FOR me!! He did NOTHING to warrant the attack!! It’s just another point in his favor!! It was a peaceful demonstration by EVERYONE’S account! The man who was attacked never raised a finger to harm the attacker and anything he said was uttered from across a busy street! It constituted NO imminent threat to the attacker! HOW MANY TIMES MUST SOMEONE POINT OUT TO YOU THAT HE WAS ATTACKED BY THIS INDIVIDUAL WITHOUT ANY ACCEPTABLE PROVOCATION!! He was assaulted! Dragged to the ground and placed in a chokehold by his attacker!! There was NO AVENUE of retreat!! He feared being seriously injured or possibly killed!! His attacker went out of his way to violently accost the man!! This man has met EVERY criteria that you have mentioned and more that you haven’t! He was in violation of no statute whatsoever when the attack occurred!

Thanks CS!! Pretty much supports what I have said!

…in advance!!

Ya’ Can’t Get Off With Your Shoes On!!* *song by Barefoot Jerry

I sold the last of my Uberti #3 Russian in .44 Russian four or five years ago for $950.00. It was probably 90% and had the original box and grips. I’d be asking $1300.00 or more for it today.

TJB! Have you even looked at the videos?? He didn’t “engage” in anything! He was violently attacked and taken to the ground by an idiot that charged across a street to assault him!! He was on the defensive from the instant that the other man touched him!! What exactly was he supposed to do in your opinion?? He protected himself and finally fought back!! One would have to be delusional to expect him to just lay there and take it!! THERE IS ONLY FAULT ON THE PART OF HIS ATTACKER!! Where he might run into trouble will be in civil proceedings!! Since the number one passtime in this country has become civil litigation, he will likely be harassed and dragged into court by some sorry ambulance chaser out to make a buck at his expense and the expense of his attacker!! He made no overt threats and did NOTHING physical to warrant the attack and if I were him, I’d have attorneys filing suit in civil court that very day and I would be swearing out complaints in city, state, and federal courts for violation of my First Amendment rights and anything else that my legal team could think of!! Further! I would be seeking redress and relief from the courts for having false charges filed against me and probably for false arrest!!
