Not so much a tank as an armored vehicle.

that's the facts, Jack!

I hope they don't end up needing more FBI guys.

Well the cops got tanks because the kids got guns.

/Merica!

Is that guy 2nd from left eating a sandwich?

It's the government you voted in place there, libs. Stop your whining and enjoy your nanny/police state. They know what is best for you. Government solves everything.

I live in Oakland, so I'm really getting a kick out of that not being a tank.

A tank??? Seriously, a tank???

The police need to roll out something really effective - portable showers.

Now that would really freak out those tards.

/Hey, OWS'ers, go crawl back under your rocks.

//Fricking tards.

The only tank in Oakland is the Warriors' season, amirite?!

Send in the car.

Hey, look, it's free expression! Quickly, condemn it!

You're completely forgetting that free expression to the right means free expression of exactly what we tell you to express or you've got a First Class One-Way ticket to Hell with your name on it. In reality, free expression means that no matter how much you may hate what they're doing, you support their right to do it.

I see that it's already been pointed out that that isn't a tank. Still, that is some pretty serious Mad Max shiat.

This thread is gonna turn into a massive trollfest so quickly.

Waiting eagerly for 9beers and winterwhile, maybe some Shaggy_C, and GAT will be along shortly too I can hope!

This has potential if we also get CitizensUnited involved for the low hanging fruit posts.

I've said this before, but I can say it again: USGI Armor-Piercing .30-06 can be had at any gun show.

NewportBarGuy: Hobodeluxe: Not so much a tank as an armored vehicle.

I find it hysterical that they have a v-shaped hull to protect against insurgent IEDs.

I've been told that Oakland resembles a war zone and has for the past 40 years. My only experience in the bay area is San Francisco, sooooo... Why don't they just hire some of the fruits in SF to spruce the place up? You won't want to protest when Cats is doing a live show, right?

A California National Guard guy just sent back an MRAP piece by piece.

/Not THAT much bigger than a jeep

does the tank have external fuel tanks?

Do you have a different troll name for each tab, Bazinga?

relcec: does the tank have external fuel tanks?

sure looks that way

Anyone know who these guys are/why they're doing this?

ordering them to disperse with nowhere to go

Article writer =



"jpmassar". Sounds Jewish.

That explains things.

If mommy doesn't get them dinner on time, they get flustered about that as well.

Now the hysterics/whinny fit makes sense.

/Cheers!

I kinda expect The Humungus to climb down out of that thing.

I don't know their reasons.. but a flag in such bad condition should be burned. That's how you get rid of worn out flags.

holy fark i think you're right

Hey, he's a big boy, and overthrowing the oppressive regime is hard work. Some inconsiderate bastard in the planning tent scheduled the flag burning during his staggered lunch. Just had to grab and go.

That ain't how you retire a flag, guy.

I'm guessing those are anarchists? I just don't understand why any of the Occupiers could think that's a good idea.

Tatsuma: "Protesters tossed metal pipes, bottles and burning flares at Oakland police, who responded with tear gas, smoke grenades and bean bag bullets."

By all means, go ahead. May those bean bags connect well, and often.

Oh, they love it. The drama. The youthful defiance. So much of this is AW'ing, identity politicking and macho posturing. It's the Running of the Bulls for C students.

/I wish they'd spend more time getting people to focus on getting rid of corporate welfare and nationalized risk/ privatized profit and less time with this BS

Nothing offensive about my post whatsoever, Sweets!

I speak the truth and I speak common sense.

OWS'ers = completely ineffective and really just need to go away.

For example, L.A. OWS'ers.... Gone. Forgotten.

And not a single fark is remembered about them.

An A.P. 30/06 won't hardly scratch the paint on it. You'll need an law rocket or an rpg 7 to knock that out. Not easily found on the streets on america, enjoy your Beotch slap O.W.S.

It's stupid crap. There was some black block jackasses at Occupy Seattle when we were still at the college who chopped up a flag and were going to burn it.

Some of our medics and other people are veterans.

It did not end well for the dumbass quasi-anarchists.

In Madison we got pizza. When you're marching all day you get hungry. It's not a photo-op, it's a movement, and movements don't get to pretend they don't eat and shiat for the duration of the time they're going on.


Sabyen91: Ahh, right wingers hoping for a bloodbath. Wonderful people.

If you aren't threatening someone with death it doesn't count as a protest for neo-cons. That's why the Iraq War protests never happened and the OWS movement is ineffectual. Tea Partiers wanted to hang someone. That's a message reactionaries can relate to.

I find these two interesting...

"Nobody move. Nobody run." #OPD appears ready to advance. Dispersal order deadline passed.

if it is a relatively large group I am sort of unsure how quickly they could effectively COMMUNICATE the dispersion order through the whole group and then actually disperse within 9 min.

Tatsuma: Having known some of these people, it's spot on. I mean, completely spot on.

I don't begrudge them it. Even hippy guys have to try to impress chicks. Apparently just holding down a meal of seitan without vomiting isn't sufficient testament to one's manhood.
