Busting a guy suspected of cockfighting, bring tank

[Snor]

AWESOME!

arresting someone by using a tank is just full of win

 

[Kris015]

Cockfight.. heh... I totally misunderstood that

 

[Sonic Doctor]

I hope those were illegal chickens. I think a much better use of that tank would be to patrol the border, maybe get a few more just so we can cover every inch of the border.

Really, is an illegal going try to cross the border when tanks is rolling back and forth?

I support the guy, but, bringing a tank to a chicken fight?

 

[neoontime]

Awesome Awesome Awesome.
The Sheriff has done some pretty shitty things in the past but this makes up for it for me.

 

[Enkidu88]

So what if the guy had run? How was he planning to arrest him? It's not like the thing is a cop car where you can cut him off. Also, if he'd fired a gun, would he have retaliated with a 120mm tank shell?

Dogs don't make a good sunday roast.

Also, it's less widespread and Dogs are an easy PR score for shock stories.

I know, because they're common pets. Whenever people hear horrible stories about dogs they can't help but project all the dogs they've loved into that position. Still, it bugs me.

Omfg this proves that the fascist american police state exists! The civilian casualties make Pol Pot look humane.
Come on people, this is all theatrics.

This shit is very much real in Mexico. People die every day on the borders, and the Mexican military has to deal constantly with bombings, kidnappings, and open assault. Its at the point where the police need to have tanks in Mexico in order to crack down on the Cartels. That's not even scratching the surface on corruption either. Its one of the reasons that I did not support the legalization of marijuana in California.

The HORROR! The horror that is this paragraph. I think it burned my eyes. /hyperbole

It did make me shout "What?" several times. The logical flaws in this statement are just horrendous. Conflation and "thin end of the wedge" are things that come to mind.

Congratulations sir. I hope you didn't hurt yourself on those big words. Turn on your local spanish news and you will see a news story about the latest actions in the Drug War. Its very much real and very much a problem. But you don't have to believe me.

That's a poultry display of fire power. I hope there wasn't anyone egging him on in this fowl attack on his liberties. He might have deserved a bit of bird but this seems really chicky. I hope this plucky farmer was able to egg-stricate himself.

...Shocking Root, shocking...

-snip-

I stopped laughing at your edit when I realised you weren't joking...

America: Fuck Yeah? We over here in Britain, are not amused (does Queen Victoria impression).

I see what you did there...

Well, what will they do when the chickens bring anti armor?!?

You have pages of this, don't you.

 

[Starnerf]

Maybe all their bulldozers were busy?

 

[En Row]

Come on! DIS IS AMERICA!!
AMERICA DUZEN'T NEEED TO EXPLAYN TEHMSELVES!!

Some-middle-eastern-country: "Oh.. we apparently have oil here.. hmm..."
America~: "OIL!?!?"
Some-middle-eastern-country: "Yeah?"
America: "U PEOPLZ ARE TERRORISTSS!!"
Some-middle-eastern-country: "Wait what?!"
America: "AAATTTTTAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!"

-Thus America carpet bombed Some-middle-eastern-country with tanks, gained large amounts of mone-..OIL and lived happily ever after. The End-

But seriously
the only thing that's been bothering me about that picture is the overly decorated tank
like it's saying "Don't do drugs! Don't do alcohol! Or we'll f*ck you up!!" at my face..
instead of reminding me...is it threatening me?

Pretty slow to become high and mighty there, mate. Oh wait, you started that way.

I know that drugs are an awful problem in Mexico and the country's pretty fucked up at the moment but I wasn't commenting on that. I was commenting on the fact that you based your decision to vote down the legalization of a drug on events in Mexico.

I did come at you with an improper tone and I apologise but I still think that your argument is horribly flawed.

Edit: I realise that opening comment is not helping the argument much but... well...

 

[Weaver]

I'm surprised they let the sherrif paint his tank like a 12 year old's hot wheel.

Well I could see your point but I said support, not vote for. I don't live in California. And it might be surprising for an American, but I thought that an escalation of the drug war might be a bad thing for the people living there. I don't think pot is a horrible drug nor am I against the legalization of the drug but the fact that other people would die for those drugs is not something I could live with.

I'll be as high and mighty as I wish to be. If that upsets you then too bad. Don't talk to me.

I didn't actually see any big words in that post, but whatever. The point (lol, pun intended) of Strobe's post was that you decry the evils produced by the "Drug War" and then say you didn't support legalizing marijuana. The problem there being that if we legalized these drugs, rather than fighting a futile and expensive "war", the drug cartels causing a near civil war in Mexico would almost instantly lose all their funding as legitimate businesses produced cheaper and safer drugs. The most lethal blow we can deliver to the drug cartels is to just legalize the crap.
