In reply to the discussion: The kid that jumped off that building did not have a fucking gun [View all]Mike Nelson
(10,883 posts)33. I believe the tape shows...
... his arrival has the "pant leg" concealing the long gun. He wants with a bit of a limp, which could be explained by concealing a long gun in your pant leg. Jumping off the roof and running does not, obviously. Very athletic. That's after... So, they say he disassembled the gun. Must be a quick change, then... the gun would probably be broken. Okay... but the other photos of him on the stairway, for example. Are they before or after... Seemed like arrival, to me... His pants are not loose and only an iPhone looks apparent. There is no long gun. Then, there is a new release of his arrival - in shorts! Another quick change? So, he arrived in shorts and changed clothing, they report... and, where was the gun, then?

He would have to have removed bolt, scope AND barrel within seconds. Hard to believe he did this so quickly but I

Yes. If that is the actual rifle used. It would be a tight fit, but maybe possible. The question is disassemble time.

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.
