I thought i read that his body looked like his ribs or something was shredded, i assumed it was from a bomb, maybe not. That makes it even more crazy. That they can shoot at least 15 cops but those 15 cops couldn't kill him

Remember though, the cops were firing at two of them. They were firing at dozens upon dozens of cops. Greater likelihood of the cops being struck. Also, they may have had an optical advantage on the police. Much easier to see swarms of cops than two jerkoffs.

True, but id like to think the cops are trained specailists. And if the guys pulled up in a car, id like to think they would just light it up, like shooting fish in a barrel.

Study: Majority Of Americans Not Informed Enough To Stereotype Chechens | The Onion - America's Finest News Source

WASHINGTON—Following FBI reports this morning that the suspects implicated in Monday’s Boston Marathon bombing are of Chechen descent, efforts to thoughtlessly stereotype the alleged terrorists were impeded by the majority of Americans’ lack of basic knowledge about Chechnya or the Chechen people, a new study has confirmed. “Our research shows that, while many Americans would like nothing more than to make sweeping, insensitive generalizations about these two individuals based purely on their ethnic identity, this process is largely impeded by the fact that 9 out of 10 Americans truly know next to nothing about Chechnya, including even the very barest details of what or where Chechnya is,” said lead researcher Dr. Tim Kinane, adding that a majority of American citizens are almost totally unaware of Chechen history and culture, how to locate Chechnya on a map, whether Chechnya is a country or a city or a region, or that a person from Chechnya is called a Chechen. “Clinical trials show that most individuals will make brief, fumbling attempts to stereotype Chechens based on what little they know about Russians, but eventually drop the subject entirely after running out of anything to say within seconds.” Kinane’s team was able to confirm, however, that once research subjects were told Chechnya is a predominantly Muslim region, they were “usually pretty good to go from there.”

I'm with you on that. Completely. Seems all the details are amuck on the shootout. I am sure GWN could vouch but all those training excercises can never emulate real life when the sh!t's flying. But I would've hoped they could've got both as well. One squirmed off the hook.

Todd Snider is great. I've caught him numerous times. He actually doesn't live that far from me over on the Eastside. He is a staple at a few of the East Nashville watering hole establishments.

Ha! And of course you'd beat me to that. Dude is awesome live, almost as funny as he is talented as a song writer.

I remember hearing about that show, that's one hell of a tag team for one bill.

Infinitely jealous of the amount of ridiculously good shows that crosses your path all of the time. It's like moving heaven and earth to get those type of guys to come through my neck of the woods.

Yeah dude, very fortunate to have grown up around it. It's not a bad deal at all.

After the bad guy killed off all the under-developed characters,
The good guy put a bullet right through his head
The screenwriter stood up and told us all the loose ends had been tied
Justice is irrelevant; violent problems need violent solutions
'cause in America we like our bad guys dead

It's called box office, baby. It's bigger than the damn Stones

Once upon a time, I was alive enough to go see live music regularly. That time is over.

Not too surprising since it's so close to Nashville but I also notice nowadays that almost everybody heads through Knoxville these days too. I don't remember that level of quality shows being around when I was at UT.

The shredding could be from the the fact that it was recently reported his brother ran over him while driving away
