Yeah, that's the one in my OP. It's not a 'bullet proof vest'. It's just a vest. Edweird Jul 2012 #144

Ok, now which one of those is a bullet proof vest? (Hint: NONE) Edweird Jul 2012 #157

Why would you expect every piece of evidence to be already made public pnwmom Jul 2012 #201

Seriously? We know what he bought and when and where he bought it. Why would this one item Edweird Jul 2012 #202

We know everything he bought. When and where. The news articles, like the one in my OP, Edweird Jul 2012 #100

Presumably the police have whatever he was wearing cthulu2016 Jul 2012 #52

No, it's not 'unknowable' - we have everything he bought - except the vest. Edweird Jul 2012 #61

Certainly it is unknowable cthulu2016 Jul 2012 #63

We know the brand and model of everything else. I don't see how this is 'unknowable'. Edweird Jul 2012 #67

Then you don't see it. cthulu2016 Jul 2012 #71

Maybe it was a Christmas present. bluedigger Jul 2012 #69

Have you never lived in Colorado? DocMac Jul 2012 #118

I don't see what you're geting at. Was he wearing a 'bullet proof' vest or not? Edweird Jul 2012 #124

Ok, but there's going to be a tag on the vest. What kind was it? Edweird Jul 2012 #94

I looked at his vest...it was definitely body armor...prove me wrong... rfranklin Jul 2012 #99
