Manager of FPSRussia found murdered

*don't confuse this with the CHARACTER FPSRussia, his Manager was shot and killed *

Manager of FPSRussia found murdered
Body Found in Carnesville Identified | 92.1 WLHR
http://www.guns.com/2013/01/07/fpsru...er-found-dead/

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.



The radio and media at large isn’t mentioning the exact details, however this is a very important thing. FPS Russia is a driving force in the pro-gun movement concerning youth. The videos published are very pro-gun, and reach literally millions of impressionable youth showing them that firearms just aren’t for people in movies or video games.
From the details, it was not a robbery turned murder. His guns were still left in the house. So, why was he murdered mob style?
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.

Interestingly enough, one of FPSRussia’s recent videos featured him(fpsrussia) tied to a chair, held hostage and about to be shot.

So sickening to hear. I have followed his videos for a long time as I too enjoy sport shooting. What a tragic loss

His body was found next to a road - not tied in a chair. Sensationalist media strikes again.

Gun crime is down. Sensationalism by the media in reporting stories that happen to have had happened with guns makes it seem way way worse than it really is.

Right...because getting executed with a shot to the back of the head and then having your body dumped on the side of the road is somehow less "sensational"?

why don't you call Franklin County Sheriff Stevie Thomas and ask him, or the Georgia Bureau of Investigation since they are investigating it
