Re: The odd Text-messages between Kirk's killer and boyfriend

Possibly just covering their butts in case of any legal action that could be taken against them.First you apologize then you try to downplay it to marginalize any wrong doing.They fan the flames of hate then worry if they might get burned by them but show no remorse for their actions

Well if he doesn’t get the death penalty he will have a very long time (life)in a maximum security prison to contemplate on what a complete waste of oxygen he is.Given his age a life sentence with no chance of parole in the prison reserved for the most dangerous criminals might be worse than death

Acts like this are done out of fear that person they kill pose a danger to their own beliefs because they know the victim is speaking the truth and they want to silence them before this truth has a chance to spread

Yup uses a paper cartridge with a felt wad attached on the rear of the cartridge.Something like the monkey tail Westley Richards cartridge.Basically when fired the greased wad is forced through the bore by the second round greases and helps keep fouling down.Plus the wad helps seal the bore
