    I don’t particularly feel like watching the video again before bed, but you could calculate it by observing the time delay between the hit and the gunshot. You’d have to know the cartridge to get a rough idea of muzzle velocity, but it was around 90 in Utah today so the speed of sound should be just around 1150 ft/s. 5.56 averages 3000 ft/s.

      I mean you could also just make some bullshit up. How TF did they arrest the wrong person twice? The only description they have is a man in dark clothing…?

      This is shady as fuck. Trump is about to go hog wild taking full advantage of the patriot act and a now basically empty DHS office of civil rights and liberties in order to go after anyone he labels a domestic terrorist. Which I’m guessing will be anyone who is a registered Democrat.

        I mean they’re frothing at the mouth to crack down on political opponents. Given the big balls incident seems fake at best, my guess is they wont bother releasing info on the shooter if its not who they want it to be.
