You may want to repost this over in the D&D Political Pictures thread, half of the last page was "gently caress the police," so you'll fit right in.

What you've seen are pictures of bad-asses standing up to oppressive police, or bad rear end cops doing their job. Two: What you're looking for is a discussion on what happened. The pictures and stories you're posting aren't about anyone being bad-rear end. I'm going to kindly ask you to please stop posting about it here and to go make a thread in either D&D or GBS instead, as they better suit your needs.  I'm also going to request that people please ignore this and get back to posting things that actually DO go in this thread.I'll start:

It's doing more with one leg than most horses do with four  I also totally didn't see the rider at first, so I thought it was just a trained horse going "welp, flames" and charging through.

I always thought that there were some badass authors out there, so I did a google image search and this is what I found. Hemmingway:  Silverstein:  I wish there was more, but GI kinda sucks. I'll come back with more later.

There's just something about a dude smokin' a cigarette in the 60's that makes him look loving cool I don't remember if this has been posted yet or not, but either way it deserves to be posted on each and every page. Felix Baumgartner training to break the world record sky dive. This is from a mere 71,000 feet up.

He's basically in constant radio contact with people on the ground.

Paper Diamonds posted:Here's something to consider; if they fire a rifle like that into a crowd, even if they cleanly hit the guy they were aiming at; the round is going to go straight through Mr. Bad Guy and into the guy behind him. And probably into the guy behind him too. Depends heavily on the round being used. Which just looking at the (heavily modified) rifle you really can't tell for certain. My guess is they use something that will fragment on impact and the force will absorb across the person instead of going straight through them.

Or maybe their thought process is that if the threat is large enough to take somebody out with a rifle at a major sporting event, then the possibility of another loss of life or two is better than a potential several thousand deaths. I realize that's a pretty messed up way to look at things, but yeah. I'm sure all precautions would be taken to ensure a minimal loss of life, but if poo poo happens...poo poo happens, I guess. This thread got weird, so to get us back on track:

There was a Punisher film released in 2004 starring Thomas Jane which didn't do so well but Jane loves the character so much he recently made a 10 minute short reprising the role, with a guest appearance by Ron Perlman. It's pretty goddamn badass. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWpK0wsnitc Found here: http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/171815-comic-con-punisher-short-featuring-thomas-jane-a-ron-perlman

It's pretty goddamn badass. This is loving good. Anyone who is a fan of Tom Jane, Ron Perlman, the Punisher or fun should watch this. Also, you might enjoy it if you liked the way they did the violence in Drive. The tempo is quite similar in some ways.

I don't think I've ever seen a movie involving someone getting set on fire and a zippo that didn't have someone throwing the zippo. Waste of a good lighter.

Because you can take your hands off a zippo and it keeps burning. Can't do that with a typical plastic lighter.

Or some dry grass or a rolled up newspaper. Movies are driving up the cost of zippos because every time you see a zippo someone chucks it onto someone covered in something flammable. Use a Bic, damnit.
