The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I'm the one being called loony because I think there's a possibility that's true.

Ross is the loony one, otherwise he would NOT have CHOSEN to walk in front of the car.


Well, I knew an ex cop who didn't make it out of his rookie year due to six kills. He actually talked about setting up things so you could get away with it. Kill 5&6 weren't setups, but the shots fired were excessive. They were dead after 5 shots, he unloaded the mag into them, put in a second mag and fired more shots for a total of 19 shots. I've talked about it here before.

There were two things Ross did that puzzled me, they didn't fit. 1. When he drew his weapon there was no threat, 2. stopping partly in front of the car. They make much more sense if you look at it like he's recognizing his chance and setting it up.
