Berkeley has once again shown itself to be the dumbest city in the worst* state in America.

Many said they were frightened by the sound of the fighter jet, and feared a crash might follow.

A local resident identified only as JG wrote: “What happened this afternoon terrified me and my children. They were in their classrooms at BHS and Longfellow the the plane screamed over their heads. In my younger child’s class, children began screaming out of fear. Simultaneously, I was at home thinking, ‘So this is what children in Iraq and Afghanistan hear when US fighter planes zoom in to drop bombs on them.’ Today’s event was real, very scary, and very odd. I want an explanation from the perps of today’s freak out.”

Cal's football team has sucked for years, I can't imagine anyone doing anything like that for them.

Also the Blue Angels jet show in Fisherman's Wharf got cancelled a while back due to funding cuts.

Did you miss the part where I said "in this day and age" and not "in the 1960s" and specifically because it would be on video broadcast 24/7 on the internet and TVs nationwide, which is the crux of my argument and not the stunning "hurrr cops=bad".

I don't know about that, but he claimed he went down to Katrina and shot a bunch of "looters" during the aftermath.

Obvious bullshit, but it shows the kind of person he was.

Kyle told a lot of stories. He claimed that he punched out Jesse Ventura in a bar over him insulting the SEALS. He says that two guys in Texas tried to carjack him at a gas station and he pulled a gun out of his truck and shot them both under his arm behind his back without looking. He says that he and some of his spec ops buddies posted themselves on a roof during Katrina and sniped armed looters, with Kyle himself killing 30.

Obviously, people investigated these claims and found them all to be Grade A Bullshit. Ventura found it bullshit enough to sue and win for millions. Kyle also had a very simplistic view of the war in the Middle East and simply viewed everyone there as a bunch of violent savages, and was eager to get back and keep killing. He admitted to getting involved in bar fights just to feel tough. Chris Kyle was a bully and violent nut with PTSD who tried to cope by telling tall tales about himself and punching anyone who disagreed with him because he couldn't deal with it by going back to Iraq and murdering every "savage" he saw.

The roof of the Superdome, no less.

The fact that he told that yarn to make himself look better says a lot about how terrible a person he must have been. I do wish he had jacked Ventura in the face though, that would have been great to watch.

Should mention if you've even so much as seen a picture of the superdome you'd know his story is bullshit because there isn't a lootable locale within sitelines unless he was literally blasting people at random. In addition he would not have had opportunities to shoot people because the NOPD was already way ahead of him.
