    Ta AF for the AI reports.

    Not looking at reports from any sources, just having seen the video of the alleged shooter leaving the roof, I have a question regarding it. The FBI has said they found the rifle in the woods. I'm presuming on this that they mean the woods towards which the alleged shooter ran. Hard to see that they are referring to a different wood. On the video, it doesn't look as though the alleged shooter is carrying a rifle. I'm trying to understand how someone without a rifle can dump said rifle in the woods. How did he do it?

    I thought 'dumping in the woods' was a bit random but who knows what goes through someone's mind when they've just shot someone. I'm sure 'Utah Uni Roof' and 'the woods' will be the grassy knoll and book depository of the 21st century

    1963 revisited, hey?

    Now, regarding my quandary. How did the rifle end up in the woods to be found if the alleged shooter didn't have it in his possession when he got down from the roof?

    Anyhoo, I thought it was bears that "dumped" in the woods

    Looks like it although I doubt (and hope) there will be a Jack Ruby this time

    I don't know, but having trawled social media It doesn't matter, or rather it makes no difference what the truth is or turns out to be.

    The killer mayor may not have thought through his actions beyond the immediate, but even I, surprised by little, have been taken back by some of the goings on since it happened

    You got me there. The Les Humphries Singers perchance?

    I’m guessing either Hubert Humphrey, or the original Unigate milk snatcher (watch out, watch out etc) or its meaning - Peaceful Warrior.

    Either way, doubt the murder of an extremist broadcaster by another probable extremist is going to resonate in the same way as JFK’s killing did 62 years ago.

    I thought Hubert but our returning agitator will have to clarify

    Regarding JFK v CK, only time will tell IMO, the difference is how the world is now connected. One thing that's shocked me is the number of members of the (US) education cohort who have (really stupidly/naively) openly expressed their hatred of CK, many of whom are now or who will soon be looking for alternative employment. I'll correct myself, its either stupidity/naivety or a determination to stand up for their principles.
