Bulletproof The Plate Theory That Shocked Them All

preparedness

Continued forensic analysis — debate over body armor plate theory, .30-06 versus .308 chambering, the Mauser 98 versus Remington 700 question, and why Google appears to have scrubbed key images. Boone's team was among the first to publicly raise the plate theory on livestream hours after the event. "I have no arrogance in being right — my entire mind is on the internet right now if you want to track it."

shoulders up and to the front, meaning you got hit center mass. And then, I mean, yeah, it could, it could, it could just be expansion also from the inside, right. If we're looking at temporary cavity, I mean, it's not going to be that much, but I think it would be enough to satisfy again. I mean, I was sitting at, I was sitting at center mass with a plate for, for a while too. I, you know, I'm not saying that again, I mean, that's what, I guess that's what we're here for trying to, Figure it out. Let's see where we're at. Yeah. So here's the one from the front. Let me go drop the mic. It's going to happen after the mic, so it should be coming here. Yeah, see that scene right there. I mean, I think the furthest thing out is... Plate top right corner. I think that's the, I think, honestly, man, I just don't even think you're close there. Like right above where the D is in freedom? If we're talking plate, it's going to have to be center mass. I just don't think you get to top right without massive blowout in the face, especially from 30-06. That's what I think the actual wound to his neck very well could have been a piece of shrapnel as opposed to the bullet tumbling. Yeah, but where's everything else? Well, I mean, that would require an autopsy, an evidence, you know, access to the evidence. We still don't even know what the bullet was. Like, they haven't confirmed that it was a .30-06 based on the bullet. Somebody, I haven't seen anybody look at this either. You need to look at the... I don't think the rifle itself, I mean, I could be completely wrong on this. I don't think the rifle itself is a 30-06, and you could easily figure this out. All you have to do is take the image that they're wiping from Google now that essentially doesn't exist on the internet. The one in the box? Yeah, they've wiped it. Google it right now. Wow. Google it. You'll see one image maybe. It's still on Twitter, though. Yeah, it's still on Twitter. It's out there. They tried to erase it, though. Wow. So what do you think? Potential like a .308 or something like that? Yeah, I think it was chambered for a 308. You know what? That makes... No, I got it on Google. One? How many? Hold on. Hold on. I got it on Google a couple times. Did you? There's one here. It's a Facebook post, but... How recent? Breaking? I say Daily Mail. Daily Mail. There's a couple. If you Googled it not long after for like next, I don't know, 12 hours or so after they posted it, it was everywhere. it was I mean that was all you saw every image was well if they said it was you know they said it was a Mauser 98 which you know if you look up a Mauser 98 that's an old rifle Woodstock all the way down almost to the end of the barrel you know it's like an M1 Garand type rifle so if that's the case if it was an M98 which I thought Alpha you guys said now they're saying it's a Remington 700. Yeah, 700 action is what they were saying. That's what you guys said on DEFCON. I think that's what they were saying. No, that the way y'all were saying it was. Yeah, there's no law enforcement reporting that, but there's journalism. Oh, yeah. Oh, OK. The law enforcement hasn't came out and said that. So as a matter of fact, I think in the indictment, it might say 30 odd six. Let me go look real quick. You know, they're pushing 30 odd six for sure. Because it led stories. It's granddaddy's gun, you know? Well, we, another thing we don't know is what type of ammo he was using. If he's using frangible or something like that, you know, a level three plate is going to stop frangible. What are you looking up now, Alpha? The, the charging indictment to, cause I think they might say this. Well, while, okay. So while you're looking that up again, you know, Zeb going back to the original argument, I don't, I don't put it past, you know, there could be alternative theories on the shots and your, your, you know, some of the videos that you've put out are pretty compelling, but it's still, I go back to that first reaction from Charlie and the very first thing you see, and this is something alpha alpha picked this up the day that it happened. Like we went live and, you know, a couple hours after it happened and alpha, I think alpha, we were probably the first people that, that popped up the plate theory. I think you, mainly you, I mean, I went on the stream and did it. Well, this was like immediately following it. Yeah. That's, I mean, I was, I was right there too. I mean, as soon as I realized it wasn't a shot from the right, I mean, that's straight where I went was a plate. Obviously he's wearing a plate. I mean, we got 3000 people were sitting in a bowl. Obviously we're plates. I would absolutely 100% I would. I wouldn't be there in the first place. But, but, especially when you find out and this is, you know, not to harp on the security team. But when you know that there's only going to be two campus police that are there, there's there's no, you know, it's a ticketed event, but anybody can still go, you know, you check tickets.
