Aren't you supposed to be dead from the radiant heat before you even get close enough to plunge a ~~ring~~ arm in lava?

He was indeed lol. We bought him a tracphone too, and he refused to hook it up (or let us do so.) He was great lol.

I mean why stop there? I say 65, no, 95 should be the age everyone is considered an adult.

John Warnock Hinckley Jr.* Three names and a suffix.

Most Americans have a middle name (sometimes even two or more).

Furthermore murderers succeed all the time and still get described by two names: Richard Rameriez, Ed Gein, David Berkowitz, Jeffrey Dahmer, Albert Fish, Carl Panzram, Dennis Rader, Gary Ridgeway, Ed Kemper, Richard Chase, just to name a few. They all killed plenty people and all have middle names but we only say two. John Wayne Gacy OTOH gets all 3.

As to why the middle is sometimes omitted? Your guess is as good as mine, but clearly the deciding factor isn't success or failure.

If any of his relatives did a 23andme or ancestry, that'd possibly be enough lol.

I'll summarise: You're supposed to cut em open dingus.

You can register as Unaffiliated fwiw, you don't have to choose Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, or Independant. It's mainly a choice of which primary to vote in anyway.

I know a guy who survived being shot in the head, he says doctors told him only 5% of people shot in the head survive and less recover as well as he has (he has minor issues, you'd never know if he didn't have a dent and some metal in his skull.) Sure you can easily hit an artery in the leg and leg shots are for sure deadly too, but I wouldn't say head shots are less deadly lol.

The training to aim center of mass is mainly because it is larger, if you're familiar with The Patriot you may remember the scene where Mel and his small kids shoot at the British, he illustrates this point by saying "Remember, aim small miss small."

Aiming for a larger target means you're more likely to hit the target, and yes in modern times it means you're more likely to get proper expansion of a hollow point, which means you're less likely to shoot through him into a bystander. It also does just so happen that the A zone contains the heart and lungs, which are vital organs much like the brain. Head shots are "more deadly" if you hit, center of mass is more likely to hit a vital area rather than miss simply by virtue of being larger.

Now do apple cider vinegar.

In the video he reacts to something before being tackled, kinda ducking his head a little and grabbing at his ear. He was hit by something, but I've heard some conjecture it may have been shrapnel from a shot teleprompter, so seems to either be that or a bullet itself.

Tbf, when one says "shooting" it conjures up images of an active shooter scenario. What happened was more aptly described as an assassination attempt. Target (trump) wounded (barely), one (or possibly two) bystanders dead, shooter dead.

Minor Threats II The Fastest Way Down #2 - I'm all in on Minor Threats, Patton Oswalt done did it again.

Man's Best #2 - I liked #1 a lot, looking forward to seeing where this goes.

Rare Flavours #5 - Ram V is killing it in this one and I love Filepe Andrade's art.

Dawnrunner #2 - Mechs vs ...eldritch kaiju? I'm in.

Operation Sunshine Already Dead #1 - If you missed the first run of Op Sunshine check it out. Made by the Last Podcast On The Left guys Marcus Parks and Henry Zebrowski (aka Gary from Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell), who also did Soul Plumber. The last run sets up the world and the plan for an Arcane Oceans 11 situation, this run they execute the plan. Art by David Rubin.

Spectregraph #1 - I'll probably pick this up, the dude who does w0rldtr33 is doing it.

Mythologies And Apocrypha #1 - If my shop has it, they usually neglect Fantagraphics.

Six Fingers #3 - Following both sides of this one.

Universal Monsters Black Lagoon #1 - SOLD! And it's Ram V? Sold again.

W0rldtr33 #9 - This series is great!

Honorable Mention: Pooh vs Bambi #1 - What the FUCK?!

"In war there are rules, but the forest has none. Abandoned by his country, betrayed by those he once called family, and hunted by those who want nothing more than to keep him as a trophy, Pooh is on a mission and no amount of honey will sate his thirst-he wants revenge!"

Blue book 1947 #3 - I like this one, the story of the origins of our alien lore

Batman off world #4 - I love this one, weird little batman series.

Golgotha Motor Mountain #2 - Meth from space turns people into cronenberg monsters. I'm in.

7174AD #1 - Idk shit about it, I'm 100% judging this book by its cover, but it looks interesting.

That's it for me this week, what about you guys?

List is up! Short list for me but one I'm excited about:

Bat-Man First Knight #2 - 1930s The Bat-Man (just had to lable it that way instead of "Batman" huh?) #1 was great!

Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees #5 - You know me, love this series

I Hate Fairyland #13 - This one is right up my alley as well

Napalm Lullaby #2 - #1 was ok, not sure I'll stick with it.

What're y'all reading?

A lot this week it looks like, might have to make some cuts, let's see..

Minor Threats II The Fastest Way Down #1- I have loved the first series and The Alternates, gonna keep going on this one. I like Patton Oswalt's writing and the art is great.

Geiger #1- I liked the last series on this one too.

Redcoat #1 - Ghost Machine, shared universe with Geiger and Rook

Rook Exodus #1 - Damn man all in the same week? Can we stagger these?!

Sacrificers #7 - New arc, probably most excited about this one this week, or tied with Minor Threats.

Deadpool #1 - I did read all of Deadpool Vs Cable back in the day, maybe I pick this up.

They went easy on me this week!

Primer #1 - I totally didn't used to write graffiti so I'm definitely not intrigued by the cover. We'll see, if she's more bomber than "street artist" I'll be picking this up.

Six Fingers #2 - I think I prefer The One Hand so far but it's really cool having both sides. The One Hand (Ram V) follows the detective, The Six Fingers (Other Guy) follows the murderer.

That's it! Thankfully, because next week might be kinda heavy. What're you pullin'?

Lotus Land #5 - Been pretty good, almost over may as well finish it.

Man's Best #1 - Maybe, gonna flip through it. Pets in space.

Dawnrunner #1 - Ram V. All I know, but the cover looks intriguing and Ram V is good

Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees #4 - Perhaps my favorite book out right now, if you've been sleeping on this one check out the reprints or trade when it comes out.

Deer Editor #3 - Didn't see that twist coming, this is the last book in series.

That's it for me, what's on your list this week?

Whooo big week, for me and the list in general. Let's see:

Blue Book 1947 #2 - Aliens, WWII, #1 was pretty good.

Batman Dylan Dog #1 - Don't know what it's about but I'll at least flip through it.

Westley Dodds Sandman #6 - The end of the line. Been pretty good for a superhero book.

Fishflies #5 - Fishflies has been great, guy shoots a kid, turns into a giant mayfly creature, on the run with a different kid escaping her abusive dad. Slow going, quarterly I think.

Napalm Lullaby #1 - "A child with unimaginable power is raised to believe he is God by a cult of zealots utterly confident in the moral authority of their religion. The Magnificent Leader has imposed his will on humanity and created the ultimate theocracy. Join them, or be cast out to suffer with the masses." Rick Remender of The Sacrificers, def giving this a shot even though I can't get into his "Low."

One Hand #2 - Ram V, digging the split thing with The Six Fingers.

Petrol Head #5 - Cheeky robots drive fast.

I Hate Fairyland #12 - Should I be paying attention to this one? I guess I'll browse through it and see.

What're you reading?

Batman First Knight #1 - 1939 Batman? Why not?
