I know it's a bad idea really but part of me wants a drone to fly over one of those Bundy ranch checkpoints. All of these Freepers firing in the air to shoot it down would be a funny sight. Of course it would just solidify their position that the government will try to Hellfire them and I'm pretty sure the ATF or BLM don't operate any drones or at least not that kind.

I think an F/A-18 flyover at 200 feet would be more appropriate although they'd probably be like "whoo hoo Oath Keepers!" PYF Bundy suppression porn

I'm still really sad I don't have the time or means to drive through all the Bundy taliban crews check points dressed as a new conservative boogeyman everyday. One day you go through as a muslim in a van with arabic on the side, the next day it's a lowrider with a bunch of black single moms done up like it's Friday night on the strip, the next you sail a gay float through with John Waters.

I'm sure those guys need no excuse to shoot someone/something and the longer it goes on the itchier those trigger fingers will get. Plus, there will be the one guy who doesn't have any job or life outside the checkpoint who wants to start something before the other guys want to head home to air conditioning and a shower.

I would just use a smaller drone at a lower altitude to play with their spacial reasoning a bit. Nobody would ever hit it because they'd grossly overestimate the size and therefore the altitude of the craft. Drone's are kinda my thing. For the last two years I've been an instructor/operator for the USGov on a couple of different (small) platforms.

If I lived nearby and was still a dumb teen I'd likely try to sneak close to the Bundy ranch a nigh and set off a whole bunch of fireworks to see who would run for the hills and who would start spraying and praying. Prepping talk aside, I wonder how such insular, rabid tribal people would react to a less extreme, prolongued crysis, such as, say, an economic crash on the level of 1929.

HootTheOwl posted:They have similar ceilings. The innaccuracies on your end involved a lack of knowledge concerning normal operating altitudes. I never tried to prove or back the thought that people could, in fact, shoot down a drone. I simply pointed out that a government agency, or even a civilian, flying the Reaper/Predator over anything wouldn't do so at an altitude that would render their hopes of actually pinpointing a man sized target null and void. Inaccuracies? It's my job to know these things. Forgive me if you can't handle a simple correction.

Without any visible government presence or media attention (which vanished when Bundy started holding forth on what he knew of those shiftless blacks) all that they're getting is bored, sunburned, and thinking about all of those hours they're missing at their jobs. The cops will wait until it's just Bundy and a half-dozen die-hards before they swoop in to arrest the lot of them. The militia nuts fighting with each other is pretty great all things considered; some of the summer soldier-types will become disillusioned and never get involved in this stupid poo poo again, and the rest will hold grudges and bad feelings and not want to do this sort of poo poo again.

A couple of trucks drove into the yard, and guys started jumping out, and I could see right away when they were getting out of the truck they were very agitated. We had one of the men run out toward our car. I was standing in front of one of our cars. John Bidler, the Connecticut [Oath Keepers] president, was standing over by the driver’s door. The gentleman came and he, uh, all of a sudden the gentleman started running toward me and hit me right in the chest with his forearm and, uh, put me down. They also poured lighter fluid around the local CBS affiliates van and have blocked off public roads. Reports from the town mentioned them threatening to drag hotel employees out in the streets and shoot them if they didn't force people the militia thought were BLM to leave. As much as everyone likes to pretend that it's a bunch of freepers and that they won't harm nuffin' the freepers have left, in part because they were scared of the majority who stayed. 8 News Now quote:One Mesquite city leader said the entire Holiday Inn Express was evacuated for hours following a bomb threat related to the Bundy saga more than two weeks ago. 8 News Now quote:They were equally hostile to journalists covering the story.

I appreciate the posts but I'm still only seeing a lot of dick waving and no indications that anyone there is willing to get rough with anyone but another militia man dickhead. There's obviously varying degrees of cowardice and craziness going on but I still say their train left the station when the BLM decided to let them play soldier mans in the Nevada desert. They're pissed because the moment they've wrote troves about finally came and every one of them to a man chickened out. A freeper being scared away from their stated convictions happens everyday in basements around America, the fact that it happened at the gathering-of-juggalos-parents doesn't really strike fear into my heart. Edit: Even when they're only dealing with eachother all this heated poo poo boils down to a pushing match and various buttholes saying "I'm gonna shoot you on the count of three! One! Two! Two and a half! Two and three quarters! Two and five sixths!!!!" ... "Ohhhh man I was sooooooooo close to shooting that guy, dude totally if he would've moved another inch. LUCKY HIM!"

I don't disagree with the Senator, he's free to call them what he wants just like Harry Reid is. I disagree with the idea that as long as your intentions are right with the country you're allowed to do whatever the gently caress you want. Yeah they are patriots. They're lawless, stupid, paper tiger patriots whose rage very coincidentally only bubbled when the president was a black Democrat.

Apples, as do many other agricultural goods, tend to be stored in batches from the same crop, or at least same source, such that they tend to decay from the same point of freshness at the same rate. Also rot indicates the presence of organisms consuming some portions of the apple, which would then by their nature spread to other nearby apples. A few bad apples doesn't spoil the bunch seems to argue against sympathetic magic, in that apples from a 'tainted' batch are not necessarily bad themselves simply because of their proximity to bad apples. Removing bad apples from the bunch would help in preserving the remainder, but ultimately the entire system is corrupt and decyaing and needs to be periodically replaced smash the system full communism now boner confessor fucked around with this message at 19:24 on May 5, 2014 |

The former. As apples ripen and eventually rot, they release increasing amounts of ethylene gas, which causes apples to ripen and eventually rot. If you leave a bad apple in a bunch with a vast majority of good apples, the bad apple accelerates the ripening of all other apples. If it's not taken care of, that one rotten apple will cause more rotten apples, which accelerate the ripening procedure even more, until what you're left with is a barrel of apples that are all bad. thefncrow fucked around with this message at 20:30 on May 5, 2014 |
