Flashermac Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 I was thinking something like that. But you'd catch hell for saying it out loud. Meanwhile, the gun nut in the States this time is a leftie. He went there to shoot Republicans. "Hodgkinson, 66, was from Belleville, Illinois, the newspaper reports. A motive for the shooting is not yet known, but Hodgkinson’s Facebook page shows someone who had a high interest in politics, who supported Bernie Sanders during the presidential election and expressed anger with President Donald Trump and Republican Congressmen." Bellville is a suburb of St. Louis, just across the river from it. Piss poor shot too. Only winged one congressman. http://heavy.com/new...ified-illinois/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Good argument for no guns, he obviously hasn't had the practise that right leaning folk get, with their gun range education from birth :neener: Actually he'd been seen firing on a range in Bellville. He just couldn't hit shit at any distance. He had a hunting rifle, but the cops took him out with their pistols. I saw a few guys like that on the rifle range in the Army. I told one of them he'd better learn to use his bayonet, since he certainly wasn't going to stop anyone with his "marksmanship". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Cladding, two aluminium sheets encasing polystyrene - very dangerous, wouldn't have it on my house. BBC Newsnight's Chris Cook says the type of cladding on the outside of Grenfell Tower, installed in 2015 during a refurbishment, had a polyethylene - or plastic - core, instead of a more fireproof alternative with a mineral core. Similar cladding was used in high-rise buildings hit by fires in France, the UAE and Australia, he said. The government has said checks were now planned on tower blocks that have gone through a similar upgrade. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-40291227 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
