[url=http://youtu.be/vjNV2e11Klg?t=2m18s]FPS Russia chair video[/url]
[url=http://twitter.com/keithratliff]Keith's Twitter[/url]
"Keith Ratliff, the manager of FPS Russia, the 3rd most popular youtube channel was found dead yesterday, tied up to a chair and shot in the back of the head."
"Interestingly enough, one of FPS Russia's recent videos featured him tied to a chair, held hostage and about to be shot."
"This represents a second well known player in the firearms industry to be killed in the past week. Only a few days ago, John Novseke was killed in a somewhat mysterious car crash."
As you can see, Dmitri and Keith talked frequently on Twitter.
Along with Ratliff, John Noveske, another prominent gun designer/proponent died in a mysterious crash last week.

This comes after a columnist called for the "deaths of all NRA members."
This is all very sketchy. Thoughts? Will post other links shortly.

[quote]Ratliff's body was taken to the GBI Crime Lab in Atlanta for autopsy.[/quote] Well his death defiantly wasn't caused by that hole in his head that looks like he got shot.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MyNameIsCharlie Back on topic: I'm pretty skeptical about this. On one hand, he hasn't signed in to his Facebook, Twitter or any other account since Thursday. That said, a man bound to a chair and shot execution style should make national news. If anything because he manages a celebrity with ties to the gun debate. CNN, Fox, MSNBC would see this as ratings gold. They would cash in on the gun debate, get younger viewers due to the YouTube ties...get to have "experts" talk about guns, youth and the internet... Even a tie in to a recent video game, as FPS was in the "surprise" trailer for CoD. Yet only the right-wing whacko sites are running with it. I am really skeptical of this. It smells of 4Chan.[/quote] This^^^^^^^^^^

[url=http://newmediarockstars.com/2013/01/pro-gun-blog-claims-that-murdered-man-is-the-manager-of-youtubes-fpsrussia/]Here[/url] and [url=http://www.921wlhr.com/body-found-in-carnesville-identified-2/]here[/url] are two more articles on the shooting. Not sure of the credibility though, but they both don't seem to sensationalize it as much.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SpartanMk18 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Shwamooper [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SpartanMk18 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MyNameIsCharlie Is there a real source confirming this? And why is this becoming an anti-gun conspiracy? There are plenty of more effective legal ways to combat guns than assassinating pro gun spokespeople...[/quote] I think a big part of the speculation and tin foil hatting is that an article came out in the Des Moines Register last week calling to make the NRA a terrorist organization, to confiscate all firearms, kill those who don't comply, and drag any polition who didn't agree behind a truck through a parking lot.

How often do we hear about the death of a celebrity or important person, and it turns out it was a hoax? I'll wait for definite confirmation.
