It would be nice if you would shove your vivid imagination up your ass and discuss what actually happened.
I did. You, on the other hand fall into the category of posters who throw insults without adding anything to the conversation.
But by all means, elaborate on your insult.
For someone that adamantly states that there’s no way the pedestrian could have been hurt by being run into by a vehicle, you’re really pushing the slight possibility of a broken window to justify the subsequent assault.
Given your ridiculous ideas about how Benghazi should have been handled, I feel comfortable saying that people are better off doing the opposite of what your “tactical” ideas suggest.
I cited the technology available in the Benghazi thread which was relatively old as military hardware goes. and I went on to cite the turn-time of cargo aircraft in what was also pretty mundane for both military and civilian aircraft.
By all means, do the tactical opposite of what I posted. That’s my suggestion to you.
Stick man physically demonstrated the use of a weapon. That bumps up the “slight possibility of a broken window” considerably.
And I didn’t say stickman could not have been hurt. I said the drivers actions avoided hurting him. There’s a difference.
Merely citing that doesn’t deny the absolute ridiculousness of your tactical evaluation of the situation. I’ll have to dig that thread out to allow the others who missed your strategic glory to get caught up on your GI Joe view of the world.
CMC fnord!
That’s the one. Thanks!
Forgive me if I missed it, but do we know when, where, and involving whom this horrendous vehicle vs stick encounter occurred?
Truck man physically demonstrated the use of a weapon.
But he gets a pass, for reasons.
Again, why is it always the liberals that are getting hit by vehicles, and conservatives twisting themselves in knots to defend their assaults?
I still don’t know why we are accepting the narrative from Redstate.
For all we know, truck guy could have stolen stick guy’s parking space. We have no context.
One dude in the road does not a protest make.
“Officer, they advanced on the door, continuing their attempted extortion. Of Course I Beat Them! Wait, why are you getting out your cuffs…?”
I disagree. There were no injuries involved. Had he gunned it and run him over then I would agree. This didn’t happen.
he gets a pass because he is not the person instigating it. At least not in the video. They have some kind of verbal confrontation and then stick man continues blocking the car and actually moves closer to it.
Where in the thread was the political affiliation established for either parties. And cite there is any kind of trend for your statement. Just based on the politics of this thread it appears liberals have a greater problem controlling their emotions. We already lost one of them because of that. And that lesson was ignored by someone telling me off on behalf of the individual who got banned as if it were my fault and not the actions of the person who was banned for things said on other threads.
my evaluation of the situation was based on knowledge of how long it takes to launch a plane and what assets are listed by the military for such missions. This is why we have various teams trained specifically for this type of situation. That you think nothing of immediate swat team responses to a school shooting but think it’s a miracle to load and launch an airplane in a timely manner doesn’t make sense.
All that aside, at the time the attack started, we had no idea how long they could hold out. The entire “we couldn’t launch a plane in 6 hours” bullshit statement just happened to coincide with the time they managed to hold out and it was made after the fact. Nobody in the news ever challenged the statement or ever bothered to ask just how long it took to insert an ops team or how they couldn’t hold out based on that estimate.
I’m pretty sure that they would have launched a rescue mission if President Obama was under attack. It’s not like his administration was shy about attacking Libya.
But since you can’t seem bothered to discuss THIS thread you seem destined to attack me on another thread and even then you can’t be bothered to discuss the thread.
Umm, who exactly was injured by the stick.
CMC fnord!
Yes, we don’t know the narrative that started it. I would think it unusual to confront someone over a parking space while wearing a mask and carrying a stick.
While we don’t know the narrative we do know the person videoing it yells at stickman to get out of the street. It’s not out of context to consider the likelihood that masked stick guy was in fact, deliberately blocking traffic. He clearly continues to block the driver throughout the video.
Nobody was injured by the stick. However, the truck was damaged using the stick which demonstrates it’s use as a weapon.
According to some folks on this board, vehicles are deadlier weapons than guns. According to you, sticks are deadlier weapos than vehicles. Does that mean that sticks are deadlier than guns, or is this like rack, scissors, paper?
Yes, vehicles can be used effectively as weapons. But until they’re used as weapons they’re vehicles. The same goes for the stick. It’s just a stick until you start hitting things with it. Then it becomes a weapon.
