Glad they are worried about the real issues.

Give the kid some credit! A 400 ft shot and got an ear is actually pretty good.

[–] LowtierComputer@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Bit dumb to aim for the head if you might only get one shot.

[–] radivojevic@discuss.online 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I’m not sure he had a lot of time to plan that shot.

[–] LowtierComputer@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

If you were in his case you wouldn't think that through ahead of time?

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I'd think he's wearing a vest...aim for the head.

[–] LowtierComputer@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That's fair. I'd say don't shoot someone in general but yeah.

[–] radivojevic@discuss.online 2 points 11 months ago

In general yes.

[–] radivojevic@discuss.online 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Me now? Yes. If I were to do such a thing it wouldn’t be with that tool from that perch, etc.

Me at 20? I might not have much more foresight.

But, you know he knew the outcome. And when you are in that state of mind, some things slip through the cracks along with your sanity.

[–] LowtierComputer@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah probably. I do wonder if he told anyone about it beforehand.

[–] radivojevic@discuss.online 2 points 11 months ago

Probably not? I’m curious if he was having health issues. The photos of him at the scene had him looking very thin, but some others online are not like that.

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

With ironsight too

[–] radivojevic@discuss.online 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Really no scope? I mean, that’s very impressive while under stress.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Especially from a semi-auto.
