    Consider that this man lost his job for a seemingly senile action and then remember that the gerontocracy in our government is almost certainly older and more senile.

      This was not in any sense an act of senility. You can be 100 years old and legally blind but still know you’re looking in the wrong side of binoculars. Scopes no different. I have no idea the backstory but I would guess he was ridiculing someone for mounting it backwards or something like that. There is no way this was done by mistake like he had no idea he was shooting through the wrong side.

        Is he? You can see spent casings flying in the photo, he seems to be actively shooting the rifle. He can’t see shit but he’s shooting.

          Right. I’m saying it isn’t a mistake, accident, result of ignorance. I’m saying he knew what he was doing.
