June 17, 20196 yr 12 minutes ago, Brisketexan said: Yeah, lots to figure out there. I've seen the US Marshals at many a Federal courthouse. They have sidearms. I've never seen anyone -- even in a guard booth or whatnot -- with a long gun. That said, there are clearly shots coming from the left (seeing the impacts on the courthouse, although man, those shots are WAY WIDE of the target). So, I'm not even sure if the shots that got him were from shooters inside the courthouse or shooters outside of the courthouse, stationed to the left. Whatever the case.....the reaction time is incredible. From the beginning of the incident to the end is maybe a minute? Just out of view in that video from above is the sallyport and the spot where the FPS vehicles park - my guess was that the federal officers got out of their vehicles or ran out of sallyport and opened fire from there. https://www.google.com/maps/@32.7786306,-96.8015454,3a,75y,348.09h,91.26t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s0aiw7Dcogu76KPV3gG97rQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

Engage dudes with SCAR level gear that know how to use it.

Probably not (I mean probably not as in I agree with you - they very well could have snipers there during the day). I think @sasquatch69 called it though. Pretty sure the guy was wearing a vest (looks like he took small arms fire - has several bruises around his torso), and from that google maps location it looks like a decently long shot, almost have to assume whoever landed the fatal shot had a rifle.

June 17, 20196 yr Lol at the notion that there’s snipers perched in hidden spots around downtown Dallas. Some LE responded to this call, hopped out of their car, and 360 no-scoped this dude.
June 17, 20196 yr 2 minutes ago, BurntEyes said: If his own bullet bounced and hit his femoral that would be pretty fucking magical, and awesome. This is probably more of a possibility than anyone thinks - considering he was firing into a bunch of metal and glass. Can't wait to read the report on this one.
June 17, 20196 yr Marshal Raylan Givens must've taught the sniper at Glenco. He's gonna have to answer to the AUSA now, but looks like the shooting was justified.

Dallas Morning News reporting this is him: https://www.facebook.com/brian.clyde.50 Looking at his FB page he has photos of his magazines used in today's attack. Rifle he used looks like a crummy low end AR that can be had for about $400 OTD. Can someone do a screen grab for us folks that do not have Facebook? Thank you thank you very much.
June 17, 20196 yr 1 hour ago, Uncle Nate said: Maybe? Possibly? Err on the side of caution? Are you all really advocating NOT calling 911 in this situation? He may be the first person who saw the guy (most likely he was based on what was written above). Yes, you all have the benefit of hindsight in this particular situation, but at the time Mr. Pulitzer didn't have that hindsight. Calling 911 should be the first thing any of us do, whether or not we think it would matter. is it illegal to walk around with a gun now? i thought we had 2nd amendment rights.

I'm sure as hell going to do that before I try and get a photograph of him. Nate needs to take his chill pill and go nappy time... he's so gwumpy when he's sweepy...

June 17, 20196 yr 25 minutes ago, BurntEyes said: Great input. Because all police are excellent marksmen. Pffffft. Well, this is Texas where a cop once put down a baddie at 100 yards with a pistol...while holding two horses... This wasn't NYC where 7 cops recently unloaded at close range and shot only managed to shoot two Cops. Quote https://www.foxnews.com/us/austin-cops-sure-shot-stopped-crazed-gunman Holding the reins of two horses with one hand, Austin Police Sgt. Adam Johnson raised his service pistol and fired a bullseye into the target some 312 feet away. Down went Larry McQuilliams, and so ended his rampage through the streets of the Texas capital, where he’d fired more than 100 rounds from his AK-47 and .22-caliber rifles at buildings. The shot, from Johnson’s Smith & Wesson M&P .40 pistol, hit McQuilliams square in the chest and made the 15-year-veteran the toast of gun enthusiasts around the country. Quote https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/13/nyregion/nypd-cop-killed.html Seven officers opened fire toward the store — a total of 42 shots within 11 seconds, the police said. “It goes from zero to 60,” said Chief Terence Monahan, the Police Department’s highest-ranking uniformed officer. When the barrage of gunfire ended, two men lay bleeding on the sidewalk outside the store.

I'm sure as hell going to do that before I try and get a photograph of him. Probably already mentioned, but that photographer has worked the courthouse quite a bit and knows that it's got plenty of armed LEOs walking around, since he would be walking around them every time he's there. Outside of an actual police station or a Krispy Kreme, you're not going to find a higher concentration of LEOs in Dallas.

June 17, 20196 yr an ordeal like this is the absolute best. we are entertained, we get to make jokes, and the most important thing is that the only person getting hurt/killed is the fucking nutjob. and it shines a poor light on fucking anti gubment fuckwits.
