    Since retiring from the Navy SEALs, Chris Kyle, whom the Pentagon has deemed as among America’s deadliest snipers, would occasionally take fellow veterans shooting as a kind of therapy to salve battlefield scars.

    Mr. Kyle, 38, author of the best-selling book “American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History,” was with a struggling former soldier on just such an outing on Saturday, hoping that a day at a shooting range would bring some relief, said a friend, Travis Cox.

    But the Texas authorities said Sunday that the troubled veteran turned on Mr. Kyle and a second man, Chad Littlefield, shooting and killing both before fleeing in a pickup truck.

    “Chad and Chris had taken a veteran out to shoot to try to help him,” Mr. Cox said. “And they were killed.”

    The police identified the gunman as Eddie Ray Routh, 25, who had served in both Iraq and Afghanistan and had suffered from mental illness. The police offered no information about a possible motive.

    from that snipers article:

    Rob Furlong
    [​IMG]
    A former corporal of the Canadian Forces, he holds the record for the longest confirmed sniper kill in history at 1.51 miles or 2,430 metres. That’s the length of about 26 football pitches.
    This amazing feat occurred in 2002, when he was involved in Operation Anaconda. His Sniper Team consisted of 2 Corporals and 3 Master Corporals. When a three man Al-Qaeda weapons team moved into a mountainside position he took aim. Furlong was armed with a .50-caliber McMillan Brothers Tac-50 Rifle and loaded with A-MAX very low drag bullets. He fired and missed. His second shot hit the enemies knapsack on his back. He had already fired his third shot by the time the second hit, but now the enemy knew he was under attack. The airtime for each bullet was about 3 seconds due to the immense distance, enough time for an enemy to take cover. However the dumbfounded militant realised what was happening just in time to take the third shot in the chest.

    Was curious what this gun looked like... yea nothing to see here

    The story of Rushmore is crazy to me. U.S. kills Indians, steals their land, then teabags them by carving Presidents onto one of their sacred places. That's how the U.S. used to handle business. Good lord.

    Abandoned Island in the Middle of Manhattan:

    http://imgur.com/gallery/J7sv8
    [​IMG]
    Back in September 2012 a friend and I kayaked from NYC to my place in Connecticut.


    [​IMG]
    Along the way, we stopped on an island called North Brother.


    [​IMG]
    Located in between Queens and the Bronx, in 1885 the island was used to build a hospital complex to quarantine and treat people suffering from smallpox and typhoid fever. In the 1950's it was turned into a rehab center. The entire island has been abandoned since 1963.


    [​IMG]
    After the city closed down the hospitals they tried to sell the island to private investors in the 70's but the cost of construction, transportation to the island, installing a sewage system, and the noise from Laguardia airport discouraged anyone from buying it. In the 80's they tried to build a prison on the island but scrapped the plan because it was cheaper to build in upstate New York.


    [​IMG]
    Abandoned for 50 years now, Mother Nature is slowly reclaiming her territory.


    [​IMG]
    We spent 3 hours on the island taking photos, hope you find the place as interesting as we did!

    Bullet holes?


    [​IMG]
    Definitely bullet holes.... Though given how close North Brother is to Rikers Island, which is one big prison complex, I'm fairly convinced that this is the work of bored NYPD officers.

    From the study on GMO rats:
    [​IMG]
    J, K and L are rats with huge cancer grows after the treatments. GMO are rats fed GMO food, R are rats fed roundup ready mais and GMO+R is a combination. Not pictured: the control group (because it looks exactly the same). There is also an ethical issue where these rats should have been euthanised much earlier to stop their suffering, but the rules in France might be different. Regardless the journal should not have published it based on that alone.

    An Army M-60 tank at top; one of thousands of old concrete culverts in the middle, and an old F-106 jet at bottom. All of these are artificial reefs in the Gulf of Mexico. In the last few decades, we've dumped everything from an old aircraft carrier (the USS Oriskany) to T-72 tanks on the bottom of the Gulf to provide reef structure.

    Funnily enough, we're also in the process of destroying some of the best established reefs in the Gulf- old, unused oil platforms.

    Don't chastise the best era in the history of man when it comes to how to dress. 1900-1960 people knew how to fucking dress, we have lost that.

    Also funny, about the same time the architecture of buildings went to shit, so did the ability to dress like a fucking human that gave two shits.
