What great job skills this guy is learning for his return home, I bet his wife and kids keep their mouths shut while daddy is talking and if you dont shut up his finger will start twitching, he has not killed anyone in a week…
I like the way the kid calmly rationalizes his ability to kill on a daily basis without so much as a single regret or hesitation. Yeah, ticking time bomb, that guy. He doesn’t even fucking know it, either; that is, til’ he gets home, can’t find a job, starts drinking, and then climbs into the clock tower. Ha.
Five rounds in eight seconds? 400 yards? Head shots? Sounds like a N.M. M1A1 Springfield. Whatever, he’s got an angel on his shoulder. Just love a good shooter. Keep them dying man. You know I kid, even have to slam the heros some time I joke, Galen Wilson please dont track me down and kill me when you come home, you rock man!
He was 5 when he first fired an M-16, his father holding him to brace against the recoil. At 17 he enlisted in the Marine Corps, spurred by the memory of 9/11. Now, 21-year-old Galen Wilson has 20 confirmed kills in four months in
Iraq — and another 40 shots that probably killed insurgents. One afternoon the lance corporal downed a man hauling a grenade launcher five-and-a-half football fields away.During a large-scale attack on Easter Sunday, Wilson says, he spotted six gunmen on a rooftop about 400 yards away. In about 8 seconds he squeezed off five rounds — hitting five gunmen in the head. The sixth man dived off a 3-story building just as Wilson got him in his sights, and counts as a probable death!
“It doesn’t bother me. Obviously, me being a devout Catholic, it’s a conflict of interest. Then again, God supported David when he killed Goliath,” Wilson said. “I believe God supports what we do and I’ve never killed anyone who wasn’t carrying a weapon.”
He was raised in a desolate part of the Rocky Mountains outside Colorado Springs, “surrounded by national parks on three sides,” he says. He regularly hunted before moving to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., as a teenager. His brother also serves in the military.
Guns have long been part of Wilson’s life. His father was a sniper in the Navy SEALS. He remembers first firing a sniper rifle at age 6. By the time he enlisted he had already fired a .50-caliber machine gun.
“My father owned a weapons dealership, so I’ve been around exotic firearms all my life,” said Wilson, who remembers practicing on pine cones and cans. “My dad would help me hold (an M-16), with the butt on his shoulder, and walk me through the steps of shooting.”

Wait to go Lassie, err Alphie! This could also be listed in the Urban section, but the title of Hero fits it a tad better!
An unlikely hero helped keep a toddler safe in Southwest Philadelphia on Sunday as the family dog stepped in when the little boy tried to play on the roof.”He is a real special guy, period, he does a lot of things that amaze me,” explained Philip Redman Sr.
As the child’s parents slept in their on the 6300 block of Reedland Street, two-year-old Philip Redman Jr. crawled out of bed, moved the playpen out of the way that his parents had placed in front of a broken window and got loose.
“He climbed out, he literally just pulled himself out of the window,” explained Philip Sr.
The little boy began running across the rooftops of several homes and neighbors could not believe what they were seeing.
“I saw a baby running across the window, then I said that can’t be true, but then I saw a dog,” said neighbor and block captain, Tina Mitchell.
The dog was Alfie who followed little Philip out of the window and it was the dog’s barking that got the attention of neighbor’s and his parents.
Not only did the dog run outside but she actually ran along the outside edge of the roof to make sure the toddler did not fall off.

Very cool news, however not the newest!
Independent programmers have made available a program that downgrades PlayStation Portable security software to a more tinkering-friendly version.
The handheld video game system requires constant upgrades from Sony to play the newest game releases, and the updates often come packaged with security features aimed at preventing modifications and piracy. However, a program making rounds on the Internet allows PSP users to downgrade version 2.6 software to the far less secure version 1.5, the Washington Post reported Thursday.
The downgrades allow those in the “homebrew” scene to modify their equipment to run homemade and pirated software, the Post said.
The newspaper reported that programmers have also been working on cracking Microsoft’s Xbox 360. The system follows the original Xbox, which was subject to widespread modification and piracy. However, Microsoft has claimed the 360 is secure from modification. The company has a strict policy of banning modified hardware from its online gaming service.

Man i love this guy
[
His small repair shop was located near a concrete factory called Mountain Park. To Marvin and his neigbors’ horrors, the owners of Mountain Park decided to expand the factory, forcing the people living near-by to sell their land to Mountain Park.
Sooner or later the factory’s neigbhors gave up, except for Marvin. Having tried every way possible, the owners of the factory failed to acquire his land. However all the surrounding land was now owned by the factory, which resulted in Marvin’s shop getting cut off from the rest of the world.
Marvin tried everything in his powers to restore justice. Obsiously, the city council and other politicians of the state were on the factory owners’ evil capitalist side.
It’s not suprising that Marvin lost the case to the owners, in court. After that Marvin was also given a $2500 fine for not having a connected sewer line. When paying the fine, Marvin attached a note to the check and ticket that read “Cowards”.
He was just one of those who would not give up.
On the 4th of June, 2004 during a rainy day Marvin rolled out into town on a bulldozer reinforced with metal sheets.

This guy, sure is a trooper!
Lithuanian police were so astonished by a breath test that registered 18 times the legal alcohol limit, they thought their device must be broken. It wasn’t.Police said Tuesday 41-year-old Vidmantas Sungaila registered 7.27 grams per liter of alcohol in his blood repeatedly on different devices after he was pulled over Saturday for driving his truck down the center of a two-lane highway 60 miles from the capital, Vilnius.
Lithuania’s legal limit is 0.4 grams per liter.
“This guy should have been lying dead, but he was still driving. It must be an unofficial national record,” Saulius Skvernelis, director of the national police traffic control service, told the AP. “He was of high spirits and grinning the whole time he was questioned.”
Medical experts say anything above 3.5 grams per liter of alcohol in the blood is lethal for most people.
“A person this intoxicated should be in an intensive care unit, not behind the wheel,” said Tautvydas Zikaras, head of the dependence illness center in the country’s second-largest city, Kaunas. Zikaras said he had never heard or read of someone being so drunk.
Sungaila, who was slapped with a $1,110 fine and the loss of his license for up to three years, told police he had been drinking the night before and tried to freshen up by downing a pint of beer for breakfast.

This would most def. earn the launch person the title of true hero, even if he went head 1st into the wall! It would sure take one very large pair of balls!
The old circus trick of firing a person from a cannon is being considered by the US Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) as a way to get special forces, police officers and fire fighters onto the roofs of tall buildings in a hurry.
A ramp with side rails would be placed on the ground near the target building at an angle of about 80°. A (very brave) person would then sit in a chair, like a pilot’s ejection seat, attached to the ramp.
Compressed air from a cylinder underneath would be rapidly released to shoot the chair up the ramp’s guide rails. At the top the chair would come to an instant halt, leaving the person to fly up and over the edge of the roof, to hopefully land safely on top of the building.
