  Jimmy Wilson might have the best path-to-the-draft story in 20011

  It’s not even 19000 yet.

  A struggle ensued, the rifle discharged and Smoot ran from the scene, believing he was being shot at. When he heard his aunt scream, he said he turned and realized Smoot was dead.”

  she screamed because Smoot was a zombie, amiright?

  In the year 9595
  If Al Davis is still alive
  He’ll only look at the guys who run fast
  While fans watching the Draft look on all aghast…whoooooaaaaaa

  Before his departure, Wilson said his aunt, Opal Davis, called the house to complain that Smoot had been abusive, including urinating on her during a domestic dispute.

  Urinating on someone never solves a dispute.

  If someone was urinating on you during an argument, wouldn’t your first reaction be to move away from the stream?

  Wilson returned to jail for an additional eight months before the second trial, in which a 12-person jury that deliberated less than a day on July 10, 2009, acquitted him on both charges.

  So Prosecuters were dead set on nailing this guy for murder but only 1 person on two juries thought differently…

  The gun, which was never found,

  There’s a lot of shit on that story… I’m not saying he’s guilty, but it doesnt seem very clear-cut to me.

  “He knows what happened,” Rubino said. “His aunt was the only witness. She’s related to Jimmy Wilson. He’s no hero.”

  It does sound really sketchy…

  Okay so I’m not the only one who is thinking he sounds pretty guilty, but there just wasnt the evidence to prove anything.

  Still not as bad as Leonard Little though.

  After the articles last week about 1000-2500 yard kills, 200 hardly seems like sniping anymore.

  KC Resident… it seems like TBL put a pretty clear editorial perspective on it, and not one I particularly agree with. I wonder how carefully he read the articles. My biggest criticism of TBL (and other writers here sometimes, but TBL posts the most) are providing links that don’t seem particularly well-vetted, and that important points, such as “hey he probably killed the guy” are left out.

  There have been a few link fails recently. I got pretty pissed about a couple dealing with college players getting paid that were ridiculous but blindly linked to without any comment as to their content. The posts disappeared a few days later though.

  dear fucking god…

  In his first year of operational service, Hartmann felt a distinct lack of respect towards Russian pilots. He recalled that most Soviet fighters did not have proper gunsights, and their pilots resorted to drawing them on the windshield by hand.

  In the early days, incredible as it may seem, there was no reason for you to feel fear if the Russian fighter was behind you. With their hand-painted “gunsights” they couldn’t pull the lead properly or hit you.

  love that patton quote…this one’s my favorite tho.

  “If we take the generally accepted definition of bravery as a quality which knows no fear, I have never seen a brave man,” reflected Patton.
  

  All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more frightened they are. The courageous man is the man who forces himself, in spite of his fears, to carry on. Discipline, pride, self-respect, self-confidence, and the love of glory are attributes which will make a man courageous even if he is afraid.
