Talk:The True Story of a Human Trafficker's End/@comment-35711173-20180605062039

A police officer wouldn't say "bullet casings." They would say something like "cartridge casings." They very likely would refer to the caliber, like "9x19 cartridge casings." There's no way they'd confuse two cartridge casings with actual bullets.

I follow droplets to the bathtub, and inside it was a Beretta M9 semiauto. That explained the holster in the bedroom. There were two spent bullet casings in the tub. I'd need a closer look to be positive, but they looked like bullets from the gun.

A black mamba is quite deadly but death takes hours. There would be time to get to a phone and call an ambulance. Also, a black mamba just isn't big enough to move a human. They only weigh like four pounds. If a human or an animal did it there would be tracks.

A human in good shape could easily outrun a black mamba. They strike fast but just don't have staying power. Ten miles an hour would be top speed. The logical thing is a calm retreat as the snake probably doesn't want to risk messing with you or waste precious venom on something it can't eat.

If I see a black mamba I will calmly be walking away from it and I will be pulling out my piece and drawing a bead in case it does anything unexpected. Why did neither one of them draw their weapon?
