OPENB Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Just saw a preview for tomorrow's 48 Hrs. Story is about a road rage or maybe thrill killing in Seattle last summer. Suspect in custody is a USPSA shooter who had posted his match videos on the net. He appeared to be probably a C or D class shooter by his videos. The prosecutor made him out to be a trained killer. Guy was a genius engineer that went to college when he was 12. Does anyone know if this is the first time a USPSA shooter has had their cometitor status used to prosecute them for murder?

Ray_Z Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Sounds like USPSA and practical shooting in general is going to take a hit on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPENB Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 I misheard the time frame. This happened a couple years ago. He was found guilty & sentenced to 29 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ssanders224 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Terrible. While playing a video of a USPSA stage being shot, they say he was a "student of murder". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OPENB Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 Watch 48Hrs. tonight. I found his match video & story after Googling "USPSA road rage shooting" or something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remoandiris Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I watched most of the show today On Demand. Very little had to do with his shooting in matches, though they did call him an "expert" shooter. There were several references to his downloading how to get away with crimes vids and an obsession with James Bond. One clip was of Rob Pincus showing how to shoot a threat thru a car window.

fireman1776 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 If he did it, I doubt the deciding factor for the jury was his competitive status. Dude would've went to prison regardless. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toby1304 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I personally would have blamed it on going to college at such a young age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I blamed it on going to college at such a young age. :roflol: I watched the program last night, and it didn't reflect too badly on us ... Now I worry that when anything bad happens, they will complain not only about my stache of guns, ammo and components, but also the fact that I'm "trained to kill" ...

From what I saw last night, they would NOT LOOK at your classification, at all - they'd consider anyone with a D or higher to be "Trained to Kill". So, no free ride, Grump.

OPENB Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 Military is trained to kill. They implied USPSA shooters are trained to murder. Whole different implication. For a devil's advocate point of view, say you are involved in a shooting that might be iffy, will your match video and classification be used against you? I know this is a POS who happened to shoot USPSA, but until he murdered that guy and tried to cover it up, he was Dinh the D class shooter from Seatlle. I don't post my match video, but I have a ton saved on devices. Beginning to second guess that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonohue Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Never heard of the story... Is there a potential link? plug "dinh road rage murder seattle uspsa" into Google and an interesting mix of stuff comes up, including http://www.cbsnews.com/news/yancy-noll-murder-road-rage-turned-deadly-or-thrill-kill/ which is the 48 Hours episode.

motosapiens Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I don't post my match video, but I have a ton saved on devices. Beginning to second guess that. If you expect to murder someone, you should probably stop saving your match videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviesterno Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I'm always concerned when they arrest someone with a pistol and like 40 rounds of ammo and call it an "arsenal". I call it EDC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
