All those bullets and explosions and no holes in their boats! What luck!

... and then they tripped and fell onto a fist/bullet/some kind of radioactive poisoning.

If you don't want people interrupting your sports events to protest human rights abuses, maybe don't hold your massive sporting event in Putin's Russia.

I remember my "judgement day." Greif.

I discovered for myself that I, unknowingly, had written my own bible. I created all the rules that I thought I should hold dear. Little did I know that one day I would be judged by own bible.

Then I lost someone I loved. I became suicidal. I could not bear the loss and the pain.

My plan was to drive head on into a semi truck, thinking that hopefully the driver would survive somehow. I drove back and forth on the highway I picked to end my life.

I imagined what the crash would be like and who it would affect. Then I pictured something that stalled my plan.

Upon crashing into the truck I envisioned the people I love being crushed and dismembered in slow motion. My parents, siblings, friends, as though they were in the car with me.

In my death I would be the only survivor.

I had destroyed the world. With a single bullet, I could have destroyed the world. To me, that meant one thing. If I had the power to destroy the world, then I must have the power to save it. The only thing standing in my way was the bible I wrote for myself. Forgiving others was the easy part.

Forgiving myself was not so easy.

The very thing that almost killed me was now the thing I had to believe in.

Love.

Pure. Simple. Without demands or conditions.

Every human needs love. "There lies the rub."

I snatched the pebbles from the Master's hand. It was time for me to leave.

God was no different than great works of art, music, poetry.

If there is a God, it must be me because I now have the only power God ever had.

Love.

By that logic, anyone running away should be shot to death because they MIGHT get a gun and worse, and anyone not running should be shot to death because they MIGHT be posturing to fight.

At the time of the shooting, the police didn't know there were guns or bullet holes in the car, which could be old holes. The driver was released, which indicates to me it WASN'T used in a drive by at all, or he would be an accomplice and would have been arrested. You disagree? Those guns might be his legal guns and unfired, there's little actual info.

No, if he was running away unarmed, no rational person would ask why they didn't shoot, that's moronic. Any person can be a potential danger. We don't give cops the right to be judge, jury, and executioner on the street based on their assumptions and guesses as you suggest we should. This is America, not the Philippines.

Let him run away to get a bigger gun, to get a hostage, or to harm someone else?

Given that they were in a car with weapons and bullet holes, all of those things were likely to occur. The officer did the right thing to protect the public.

Can you imagine if they didn't shoot, and an innocent bystander got killed? Everyone would be asking why they didn't shoot when they had the chance. It's a tough gig to be a cop.

The kid played with fire and got burnt.

Why do the inhabitants even aim? Just unload every bullets once the bugs are in range.

This is a pretty bad video. This is essentially just a sponsored commercial for Intel. Gets a downvote from me here and on youtube. I don't want to see marketing bullet points regurgitated to me.

No hail of bullets, No dead unarmed youth and after a while they were detained by police officers. Un-american.

I recall, years ago, reading a standard (ISO or ASME, don't recall), on testing "bullet proof" window materials. The requirements were, and I will probably get the numbers wrong, 12 burly young lads, at least 3 of which were right handed, and at least 3 left handed, and a standard set of tools with which to bash windows. Then you encouraged them to bash for a standard time, and evaluated the damage using standard criteria.

...And I would have run at the guy, and he's all like "BLAM BLAM BLAM" shooting all over the place, but I would have done a flip over his bullets and landed behind him. He would be all like "woah!" and then I would do a spinning kick to knock the gun out of his hands and I would catch it and point it at him, and then, get this, I'd say "you're fired" and I'd shoot him right between the eyes with his own gun. It would have been tremendous. Really, just amazing, great stuff. It really was lucky that I was there to save all those people and we avoided a tragedy. It was tremendous.

I visited a sports store during my last visit to the states. Their rifle section was about 15-feet from their basketballs. Weapons that can be used to kill a deer, or a child dear to you, are just a few feet away from section that sells jump-rope and sports socks with bunnies.

As long as firearms are normalized by being sold in the same store and non-bullet sports, I don't see things changing.

Of course, this is just my view as an outsider who can't escape American media.

Interesting to watch. But... The pre-battle zoom showed them carrying M1A1 submachine gun which has an ammo capacity of 20 or 30 per clip. Even if each marine is a sharpshooter marksman with 1 kill per bullet, that's 9000 total rounds for the entire battalion for the first clip. Assuming that each marine carries 2-3 extra clips, you get a maximum of 27k rounds at best. True winner based on numbers, Romans.

TL;DL

Someone please just hit me with the bullet-points, please.

kthxbye

An interesting experiment, but I'm more interested in how many people get through the intersections per minute, not how many cars.

If you have 3 people in a car only getting 333 cars through per minute and one of the super complicated ones (1,000 cpm) with only 1 person per car, it's the same throughput, as far as I'm concerned.

And, get 2 bullet trains in there with the intersection just being 2 tracks over 2 tracks with 500 people inside each one, that's much more efficient.

Cars are stupid. QED.

Sounds exactly right to me.

Difficulty not only in answering questions but in actually understanding the question. --- Check!

Leaves some questions unanswered. ---- Check!

Makes random shit up because he either doesn't understand perfectly simple questions, or has absolutely no concept of the material in spite of ample access to expert briefings (in bullet form even!) ---- Check!

I'd say 70-80 is about right. He probably was higher a few decades ago, but he appears to have some form of dementia now.
