Kyle's Wisconsin friend -- of legal age -- loaned Kyle a rifle; so, the rifle was not transported across state lines. Kyle did not personally own the rifle -- and he was with adults.
I don't worry about any anarchy. If someone can get past the off duty cops who work the gate where I live and they can get past my dog, good for them. They'll have a Henry rifle or a pistol pointed at their head. And I don't ask a lot of questions when it is not necessary to do so.

Did you really get an Ivy league edu? Kudos for working in the JH rifles though.
I believe his parents should have culpability as well. Who lets their kid do shit like that?Just like I think the NBA should have culpability for what BLM does.
He's old enough to be sentenced as an adult. He should have known better, so fuck him. He escalated a heated situation. You leave that alone. You don't run to it to cause more chaos. Originally Posted by Lucas McCain

They were driven to their dad's gf place who had a restraining order on him. After Blake gave his gf shit, he resisted arrest several times, went for a knife and was ultimate shot in front of them. They're scarred for life through no fault of their own. The rioters well, were assaulting and rioting.

The original story given to police was that his mother had driven him to Kenosha. Its quite possible that she indeed did bring him to clean graffiti (a good deed)-- however, the narrative may have changed in order to protect his mother from any possibility of complicity in his actions. Still stands-- why take your child.. Or if she didn't bring him... ALLOW your child to go into a city where there are active protests and riots??
Particularly a child that may not have been the brightest or most stable (he was DQ'd by the Marines before he ever had a chance to go to MEPS). Originally Posted by Grace Preston

ah well .. so he's unstable now. that explains it all. okay ... Originally Posted by The_Waco_Kid
I said "may not have been".

"Most stable" isn't to imply that he is mentally unstable.. just that it takes a certain level of stability and maturity to make it as a Marine. Originally Posted by Grace Preston
speaking of the ASVAB .. since i have taken it .. the bar is actually quite high. that is if you want to be something other than a Boatswain's mate in Navy terms. what that equates to in the Army or Marines i wouldn't know. probably infantry. but to be in a skilled specialty rating in any of the services you do need to do quite well on the ASVAB, which is as hard if not harder than the SAT. the ASVAB has sections for math, verbal, written composition and my favorite, Spatial perception. . that's where they show you a shape and you have to pick the unfolded image that is correct for that shape. i needed a score of 115 to qualify for Data Processing .. i scored a 127. that score qualified me for any rate i wanted. i recall 120 was for a nuclear power plant tech on subs or nuclear aircraft carriers. that at the time was the highest requirement of all.heres a test if any one wants to take one. 135 questions.
i think it took me a month to get that recruiter to stop trying to get me into that rate. not that i was afraid of glowing in the dark like old Soviet nuke sailors did i just didn't want to be that rate, i wanted Data Processing.
the ASVAB is no easy test. Originally Posted by The_Waco_Kid
