In reply to the discussion: The kid that jumped off that building did not have a fucking gun [View all]Irish_Dem

The gun could have been hidden at the location ahead of time.
That is why we don't see him carrying a gun up the stairs?
Or when he is jumping off the building.
Or he took the gun apart and the gun was hidden on his person or in a backpack.
Or there was another person who helped him.
Or perhaps he threw the gun off the building before he jumped.

Agree, they did say he visited the site a few times prior, likely scoping his route out.

To remove the barrel you must remove the bolt. This removes the spent casing. It was reinserted at some point. /nt

Moron showed his deep religious upbringing. He refused to brachiate in the nearby tree.
