Hopefully it was because he had a compact pistol and it ran out of bullets. But you are correct, if two police officers would have walked up on the scene and both would’ve emptied their 17 round magazines in about four seconds, people would complain and ask why they had to shoot 34 times. Because he was killing people and we could not call time out to evaluate the situation.…..

Probably true. That reminds me about 35 years ago when I got off patrol on the evening shift, changed to jeans and a T-shirt and went to the bowling alley in Port Arthur about Midnight ….. remembering that this is about 20 years before smart phones were even invented and Xbox did not exist. There was a game called Hogan’s Alley (named after Hogan’s Alley …. a simulated city) where you put your quarter in and you get a revolver, naturally attached to a reinforced electric cord…. just like the telephones. I guess it was probably one of the first commercial laser activated shooting games. They were two different scenarios. I can’t remember if you had to pick one or the other. One scenario was where three rotating target would slide out from the right and maybe two or three seconds later they would flip for you see which was a bad guy(s) or an innocent person. They were relatively small on the screen. Of the three targets, there might be one or two bad guys. You had about three seconds to find the bad guy(s) and make kill shot(s) before the targets flipped back. That is still a popular training technique at a real shooting range for the military, police and even civilians. It is not only marksmanship but also speed in recognition of a target. I think the movie Magnum Force with Clint Eastwood they show a version of Hogan’s Alley. Anyway a few times I would go shoot the video game. I think it had three (or maybe five) misses and the game was over. A miss would be not shooting a bad guy or shooting an innocent person. While it was entertaining and fun, it was rather simplistic because the guns didn’t recoil and very little noise. One time like on a Friday or Saturday night there was a bunch of teenagers and young adults in the game room….. remembering that I was in my 20s. A couple of people were playing the game and I finally got my turn. Most of the people went three or four levels before their turn was over. Naturally other people were waiting to play what was a pretty popular game at the time. Other people were in line waiting and there were a few people standing around at other videos games. So I went through level one, then level two, then three, then four….. At about level 28 I looked around and I might have been 10-15 people standing behind me watching me shoot. Some guy in the crowd said something like, dude you should’ve been a police officer. Me?? No way!!! This is just for fun, I don’t wanna carry real guns. All the while having my 4” duty revolver under my tshirt…… 25 cent video game gun training, old school style.

The guy did a great job, period. At this time unless we see something radically different, any debate on that issue should stop. Of course there is always what if….. Certainly eight out of 10 hits on target at 40 yard is good shooting. At least from the way I read the story, the guy said he used a wall as a rest so he could more accurately aim his fire. In doing so he likely shot a man who was not shooting back. Basically it was like shooting a target from a bench rest. That does not detract whatsoever from what he accomplished but it might tend to show why he was able to get so many hits on target.

LET'S GOOO!! Top 40 under 40. Thanks for posting this. @Matthew328 I (along with everyone in town I talk to) look so forward to the future of Jasper football. There is most definitely an energy filled excitement in the community. So happy to have Coach Crumedy back home.

Listening to this interview now...love how Coach Crumedy addresses some of the misconceptions about Jasper

No idea 🤷‍♀️

Yep. That’s why I’m laughing.

if referring to post about women, it was cleared. We all crack jokes and poke at one another buy there isn't ever a need for such.

Herpes....just when you think its gone.... BAM! I bench 400lbs lol

Going through it mentally before hand is sometimes way more important than shooting skills. I spent 10 years on swat, have gone to police survival schools, etc., and I heard a taught lesson which I agree with. I have seen it personally and in police shooting videos. The body will not go where the mind has not already gone. You will always think about it before the action. If you were starting from scratch like something just happened in front of you that you had never contemplated, you might hesitate a few seconds because you have not mentally prepared. You might act quickly soon after but there will be a pause while your mind races under adrenaline to figure out what is going to happen in the next two or three seconds. If you have played out a scenario in your mind a few times and gone through what you were doing, basically imagining a shoot out, then you’ll act much more instantly. Your body will not go where your mind has not previously thought about it. It can be through scenarios in your mind over a period of weeks or months or years or it could be while you pause because something just happened that you had never anticipated. You can punch all the targets in the world and thinking that the silhouette you’re shooting at is a human. In my opinion that is not sufficient enough. I have never been to infantry training but I believe that when they were told to get down like to hear incoming artillery or they hear an explosion nearby, etc., they immediately hit the ground. They don’t stand for a three or four seconds and contemplate, hmmmmmm….. is that incoming artillery and could it kill me? No, they have thought about it beforehand. In my opinion it is the same principle with shooting. I have witnessed with my owner eyes, spoken with officers who have been there and watched videos and I am convinced that thinking about shooting beforehand might be more important than practicing shooting and not thinking. Anyway, training is great but not always a necessity. I might describe in another post some of the videos that I have seen including officers getting killed and you know it by their response to the threat that they have never thought about what they might have been facing.

I’m sure what you say is true. Just wondering why you said it. Lol. That’s almost like saying “My daddy can beat up your daddy.” Regardless, whether you regret saying it or not, you will never live it down. It’s like herpes. You have it forever! Lol.

Lol, I would love to post the link to my instagram account that shows me doing it but that would really be the shallow eye-rolling thing, right? Just saying, how do you go from talking football to talking about stuff like that? Stuff that you would never say in person and is completely “irrelevant” to the topic?

Love the ole Dirty Harry movies. Clint Eastwood is my favorite actor of all time. An I must say he’s a heck of a producer also. Recently watched Gran Torino and Unforgiven again, great movies!

Both roads would be tough, but I get what he's saying though. Playing from the 2nd seed you wouldn't see Longview til Regional Final if you survive the first 3 weeks of the playoffs. Speaking of Longview: I saw on another site that the stud WR from Waxahachie has transferred to Longview, that'll make 3 D1 WR prospects for em this season to go along with their stud RB who has a ton of offers just from this off-season and what should be yet another stout defense.

No… the left would have asked why he didn’t shoot him in the foot.

Silsbee would love it ! I know myself, along with many DAWGS fans has enjoyed playing Carthage all the years we have. There is a Blue&Silver team as well that would like to play every year as well.

Wow a staffer now Congrats!

Consider going back to this. Maybe even G rating. Pretend kids are listening, cuz they are.

I’m surprised no one has asked why he shot so many times. Personally, I have no problem with it. It’s just that the left might call it overkill. I call it a necessity.

I think there's a good chance Ned starts the season 3-3. If those three wins are all district wins I think they finish a game clear of Dayton and get the 4th spot. If for any reason they make that long ride to Missouri City to play FB Willowridge and have a night like they did against KP, or lose at home to Dayton the next week, it's pretty unlikely they make the playoffs. That last month of the season is brutal for the Dogs. I do think Ned's schedule is more manageable than Dayton and PNG's who they'll most likely be competing with for those last two playoff spots though.

I only answer to people who bench 400+

Woke people would call this Cultural Appropriation. Lol. Glad to see the PNG Indians doing their thing. Dance on!

Some wanted to change it to gravel, but to many other schools refused to play on it. 😂😂😂👽👽🤣👽👽😂😂😂

Picture of Spock talking to Capt Kirk on bridge of Enterprise. Spock is saying: “It appears to be a planet where Elite Pedophiles keep the citizens in a constant fear by hyping up seasonal flu.”

Such great support and role models at Crosby…money for sports but not for teachers.

I don’t care what anyone says… yalls RB doesn’t get hurt vs China Spring and y’all very well could’ve beat them.
