OK, who shot and killed him.  The cops are being very cagey about that important piece of information.

OAKLAND, Calif. - Oakland police on Friday arrested a 27-year-old former football player following the death of legendary Laney College coach, John Beam, who died from his gunshot wounds in what authorities described cryptically as a "targeted" shooting.
...
The news of Beam's death and subsequent arrest of Cedric Irving, Jr., 27, were announced Friday, a day after Beam, 66, was shot before noon in the 900 block of Fallon Street, near the Laney Fieldhouse. That building is adjacent to the college’s football field and houses the school’s athletic facilities and resources, where Beam worked.

Irving was spotted before dawn Friday by Alameda County sheriff's deputy Miguel Torres at the San Leandro BART station, conspicuously carrying two duffle bags, a source and police said.
...
At a Friday news conference, Asst. Police Chief James Beere said that Irving knew Beam, "but they did not have a relationship."

He also said that Irving was not a Laney College student but had been known to "loiter around the campus." Irving had played football at Skyline High in 2017, according to Max Preps, but not during the time that Beams coached there.

Beere did state that Irving was "on campus for a specific reason," and that Beam was "targeted," though he wouldn't say more, as charges are pending.

Approximately 10 hours elapsed between Irving's arrest and when this article was updated. That's being "very cagey"? *****rollingeyes*****

Well that's no big revelation.  We all knew that a long time ago.  Hillary got around just like Bill did.

Put pictures of Web Hubbel and Chelsey Clinton side by side and tell me what you see.

I bought a quarter of beef at a local meat packers for $1250 I got steaks, stew meat, roasts, and about 50% low fat (90% lean) burger. ~120 lbs total, but between the quality, locally grown beef, that it was well packaged (vacuum packed, not paper wrapped), and as requested, frozen solid, I'm happy with the deal. Roasts were cut to the size I wanted, as were the steaks.

Trade school is absolutely a legitimate career path starter these days.

Young men have always been willing to try to provide women with whatever they want (that they could), and most will gladly do so, as soon as young women figure out just what the hell that is.

Prayers up for quick healing and future good health.

It was the MiG-25 (1960s tech) actually.  The MiG-31 (1970s tech) is a two-seat version with more advanced avionics and engines.

The Soviets were also worried about the USAF's B-70 project. I remember reading about what was learned when Viktor Belenko defected with a MiG-25. Among other things, the avionics still used vacuum tubes (not just for the output of the radar and radio transmitters), and flying at full speed tended to damage the engines severely.
