I've always wondered why the drug cartels didn't wait for events like this and pay a few people to pull out some assault rifles as the cops marched in force. I doubt riot shields are all that resistant against 7.65 NATO.

When the cops tell you to disperse and you don't then you are breaking the law.

5.56 is NATO standard.
7.65 is the commie standard.
 
2011-11-12 08:42:39 PM
This is awful but completely unsurprising. The worst part is that most likely nothing will come of it, even though these people are being attacked for exercising their rights.

Valarius: I've always wondered why the drug cartels didn't wait for events like this and pay a few people to pull out some assault rifles as the cops marched in force. I doubt riot shields are all that resistant against 7.65 NATO.

Maybe I'm missing something, but why would they do that? They don't gain anything from a few random dead cops in Denver. It's a business, not a sports team rivalry.

lordlight: When the cops tell you to disperse and you don't then you are breaking the law.

See, except that we have this little document called the constitiution, and, now stop me if you've read it, one of the things they took the time to painstakingly outline is the right to peacably assemble, and the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances. I don't remember seeing an asterisk that says we may peacably assemble only until the cops say go home......

Meh. Rumors abound so far, and the 'sounds like mayhem' means...it sounds like a campground full of farking people without video to give it some sort of meaning.

I don't really care about the occupy whatever either way, so I'll ask: when people are squatting in towns, and refuse to disperse, what options do the officials have?

Riot squad, tear gas, and other non-lethal tactics are one. Roll over and let the city become a vagrant squatting ground is another. I can't see anything in between, and am surprised the man has put up with it for so long.

And I'm not sure just how pristinely 'non violent' the protests have been. Definitely less violent than the official responses, but I don't think they've been utterly perfect either.

/7/10?

They should have used their millions of raised Euros to pay for a few first amendment permits.

Because drug cartels use violence and murder to further their goals and intimidate the opposing cartels and the Mexican government, not act like 14 year old anarchists, HTH.

Well, it's not like they'd used 5.65. That's a pussy round.

yet another scholar. 7.62x39mm used to be the standard soviet issue 5.45×39mm is the new. No such critter as a 7.65 in the military world.

That was the joke

this will only strengthen their resolve and they'll be back in bigger numbers next week.

Yeah, that seems to be all over Twitter ATM, but all sourcing OccupySLC. I'd like to see some independent or photo verification.

No I don't.
Instead of being lazy and useless by squatting, do something actually productive.

So you are saying that you should only obey the police when it is convent. Odd how you never hear of the police tear gassing some one minding their own business and obeying the law.

Seems pointless to me. It's Denver. Wait a few more weeks and let nature take care of things.

There's a NATO Standard 7.62 (long; M240G, M-14) as well as the old Warsaw Pact 7.62 (short; AK-47). 5.56 is M-16.

There is no 7.65 round made. Doesn't exist.
