Nothing like a little good news to start the week off right.
Nick Gutteridge, Daily Express (UK):
A hero SAS sniper gunned down a knife-wielding Islamic State (ISIS) maniac just as he was trying to brutally behead a father and his young son.
The brave British marksman saved the terrified eight-year-old and his father after taking out the crazed jihadi with a head shot from 1,000 metres away…
The SAS marksman, using a .50 calibre sniper rifle fitted with a silencer, killed the executioner just in time…
The SAS team was later told the village held a party to celebrate the deaths of the ISIS fighters and it is understood terrorists have since refused to enter the town.
Good. The miserable cowards.
One thousand meters is a little under 1,100 yards. That’s a hell of a head shot. Especially considering the target was a member of ISIS, and the bullet could’ve passed right through his skull without hitting his chickpea-sized brain.
Thanks to the British for doing some good in the region. Sorry about Obama screwing everything up, chaps. I voted for the other guy. Twice.
