Woah, holy shiat, are we using race as a descriptor in newspaper articles again? I thought that was thoroughly outdated?

He's a German guy who they think might have had some sort of ongoing dispute with immigration officials over the status of a relative. You know who else liked to burn stuff?

That's only if the person is of minority status. Whitey is still fair game.

Because people are cheap. They want to record the largest number of cameras on the cheapest equipment. At one of my previous employers, the cameras were still hooked up to a VHS recorder. One tape was simultaneously recording from 8 cameras, so take VHS already poor resolution, and divide by 8, and that's how much resolution there was for each camera.

used to think it was a combo of equipment age & buy cheap/get cheap / using cheap VHS tapes repeatedly to death. now i suspect security companies charge so much for low quality units that systems worth buying (like ikegami) become a painful expense.

I'm fairly certain that it was a gang because that's what gangs do to protect their turf and financial interests.
They burn cars in gay neighborhoods.

Wouldn't someone that looks like Gregory Hines be kinda skeletal and decomposed? And stink more than a little?

And for those of you who don't get the headline, that's Hines on the left.

They did find and arrest him, amazingly enough. He walked with a limp, showed up in several security feeds, and the police had their eye on him since yesterday...now he's in custody.

BTW, apparently the man is German - and had Canadian license plates.
So, international terrorism - again. Right?

So it's okay to say he's white and has a pony tail but mentioning he was a fat fark would have not been PC so the LA Bird Cage Liner left that part out.

The guy looks like a fat Trollface with the grin.
And the cop behind him looks like a cross between Edward James Olmos and Harvey Keitel.

Damn subby, last time I saw that movie it was on one of these.
Ye olde RCA video disc. Vinyl video. A much maligned format, the disc should have been cheap to mass produce and distribute. Tapes required a slower duplication process in comparison, but the versatility and longer play times won out. In the end we wound up with a pressed video disc after all, but in the digital formats.
