Satellite service continues to get worse, going to look at cell service again. It was pond water slow when I dropped it before, maybe it's better.

Do you have Comcast do there ?

 

[Leadeye]

Using work internet now, we have no cable, no landline out here in the woods. Communication is by cell or satellite.

 

[Sylvain]

Still watching the news.

One guy just said "Glocks are quality pistols and hard to find".
Apparently the attacker had one.

It sounds like you are lucky to have electricity.

They are a souless piece of plastic.

Well sometimes you don't want your gun to have a soul, or be a heavy piece of steel.

I like mine to be steel.

 

[Sylvain]

I like mine to be steel.

Well Glocks are still partially made of steel.You can still hit people in the face with the slide when they are empty.

That is right . . . but we all like what we like.

They are now saying maybe the attacker was shot after trying to escape his car while holding a weapon.

I don't think this guy had things very well planed out.

 

[Sylvain]

I don't think this guy had things very well planed out.

And he didn't target a single van, it was an entire convoy.
A full platoon of military personnel, around 100 of them.

They travel with dozens of vans and trucks, all have anti riot gear with body armor and full-auto rifles,

They have more fire power than the police officers who responded to the call.

Not really a soft target for a single guy to attack.

8 officers where in the first van, apparently they got out and shot him before he could reach his weapon.

 

[GregD]

It sounds like the officers just took care of business!

 

[GregD]

We just had nice rain . . . . looks like we are going to get another one.

 

[GregD]

And it looks like that storm is done also.

 

[Sylvain]

Getting hungry.Should be dinner time.
