I've come to realize why lawyers are so successful in life. They can take any side of an argument and usually give plausible explanations to justify their positions.

I don't know much about this particular situation and haven't been following it too closely, but I haven't read anything plausible about what happened here either. Just taking this anticipated homicide at face value makes one wonder if there is a connection.

I never bought the "aircraft" argument in November after that plume was seen off the coast of LA either. :rolleyes:

There is no mention in what I've read (w/o digging) of any family members who would have ordinarily missed him. Apparently the Russian GRU knew more about the man's time schedule & where he was & what he was saying than any family member might have, anyway. But I think it is sad that a man who apparently did so much toward the Wall Memorial ended up dying in this manner.

As far as the birds, this morning's paper doesn't mention the bled, just the bruising trauma; apparently many of the birds got up and took off at some point in the night (stunned) - according to a fellow who watched them rain down on his house, yard, and area. The paper also mentioned these birds have night-blindness & would have had to have something scare them off their roosts; that they would take flight & then just follow the one in front of them, that it appeared they had hit something hard...

As I said earlier in response to James - it is so very species specific with the drum fish & the red-winged blackbirds, it is scary... Certainly draws my atention more than if it had been the grackles!!
 
Same mass killing of Redwing BB in Louisiana today..


The government used the chemical DRC-1339 to poison the over million blackbirds it killed in 2009, including in Louisiana. The avicide, called Starlicide causes "irreversible kidney and heart damage" says APHIS. "A quiet and apparent painless death normally occurs 1-3 days following ingestion," writes an APHIS spokesman on the site, probably secure in the fact that his death won't take three days.
Government wildlife officials may also feel hypocritical about the thousands of dead drum fish that appeared in the Arkansas River a few days before the red-winged blackbirds fell from the sky on New Year's Eve.
That's because wildlife agencies also kill entire waterways of fish when it serves their purpose.

The lemmings of the sky. Where I'm at those black birds fill the sky in the mornings and afternoons during certain times of the year, millions and millions wave after wave following each other. Heck if they have night blindness they could fly into the ground. :worried: Do the fish have night blindness?

Blind Fish

What did the fish say when it swam into a wall?

"Dam!"
