If his rights were being violated, why didn't he pull out his gun and defend them AS IT IS WRITTEN? That's where the 2nd amendment fails IMO...or at the very least, that's where people fail. We hear the hard liners whining non-stop that they think they live in a tyrannical gov't (despite being elected by the people) Where are the revolts then? Where are the 2nd Amendment remedies? In other words, put your money where your mouth is. Talk is cheap. Where is that willingness to kill and to die in order to preserve liberty? Or are you just talking the talk but when push comes to shove, even the hardliners accept that they don't know what actual tyranny is.

In all honesty though, the audio was so shitty I didn't hear the specific exchange that got the official so pissed off. It seemed like he was being kicked out simply because he was getting too loud or he mouthed back to the official. So yeah, I can agree that he probably didn't deserve to be kicked out. Was it an offense? yep. But it was a trivial offense and BOTH sides should have handled it better. It seemed awful petty of the official for that one thing to set him off. But hey, the activist should have been on his best behavior too. You're representing other people, so represent them well. You don't have to like the person in office, but respect the office nonetheless.

Just seemed like both sides were being childish. Yay two party system!

Unbelievable... but I do gotta wonder... did he pulled it off on instincts? Either way, a rare and one-of-a-kind save.

Are you fucking high? I can't believe some of the stupidity coming from some of you people. This is even dumber than the ridiculous tack of @eric3579's comments (although I haven't read further than this comment yet, so maybe he pulled his head out later. EDIT: Nope!).

Bombing suspects weren't enough of a threat?!?! You mean the bombing suspects who detonated two bombs during the marathon, executed an MIT policeman while he sat in his car, committed a carjacking and didn't kill the driver only because he wasn't an American, then engaged Boston police in a car chase and gun battle during which they threw several explosives, and one of the "suspects" ran over his own fucking brother so he could get away? Those bombing suspects? "Just isn't any way" they were enough of a threat?

Look, I've been very vocal about my hatred of police, and it pisses me off to see the citizens of Boston engage in the pathetically effusive hero-worship of police who were just doing what taxpayers pay them to do, but this whole argument that the warrantless searching of homes in an area police believed the remaining suspect to be hiding is just daft and has NO MERIT, not unlike the suspicion that this was some sort of compliance test on the populace that @newtboy "heard some say", which is firmly in Alex Jones/Glenn Beck thousand-yarder territory. Maybe the government just really wanted to get into a few homes and look around without warrants, and the best idea they could come up with was to blow some people up, eh? What sorts of secrets do you think were surreptitiously gleaned from those searched homes that would justify such a huge and deadly ruse? Maybe they just wanted to find out if residents in a search area for an extremely and demonstrably violent suspect would be stupid enough to resist efforts to actually locate and apprehend him. Compliance test... give me a fucking break.

You believe the police should have whittled the the search area down to a single home, got a warrant, and then knocked on the door with their guns holstered? Do you also believe that the police can read minds, or have powers of perception that the rest of us don't? Maybe you think the movies are accurate, and anything that happens anywhere can be played back in HD by the police because some super-secret satellite gets it on video. They're dicks, but they don't have superpowers and can't know everything with certainty, and I think they did a good job in a relatively short period of time of homing in and getting those assholes. What I find amazing is the criticism being leveled at them for doing exactly what they were supposed to do. If I'm being held against my will by someone who just blew up a marathon, killed a cop, and ran over his own brother to get away, the cops sure as shit better be actively searching my neighborhood, and not holding back for lack of warrants or knowledge of exactly which house he's in.

Other people here have tried to explain what exigant circumstances are, and why they most definitely applied in this case, but some of you just prefer to see bogeymen everywhere. Maybe you need to, for some reason.

You're right, Messenger..in a pragmatic sense it is a good assumption to make. However, the conclusion that the scientific method is justified doesn't follow from that assumption, and that is the point of this video.

When you say "we don't know, but maybe we will someday" it reminds me of this quote:

"For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountain of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries."

My bad. Two completely different thoughts. I was thinking he was a dick for the stunt he pulled not the resigning.

@gwiz665
Thanks for the response, seems some just want to villaffy (sp) all gun owners. I agree with all your points.
One thing I do have to add is I know a story of a guy walking at night that was followed by 15-20 guys who were saying "we gona get rid of you, no one will find the body" He pulled his legal carry gun and they all ran off.
That doesn't happen often in Canada (gangs following you) but it did in the states and I think that guy is glad he had the option of defense. Again it is very rare but these things do happen. (again in Canada all guns are tripple locked unless at the range or hunting)
Again thanks for the responce.

seems to me that the pot would be closed off at the bottom of the curved top. When he pulled it from the wheel, it had a solid base and he never showed how or that he removed it.

I was more surprised to learn that Anderson's Viewers Got Talent was a real thing. Does he pull them from the studio audience, or am I supposed to believe that someone actually watches his show on television?

I would never let my private parts get that close to a chain link fence. But he pulled it off and the getaway car was just amazing!

I'd be more impressed if he pulled it out the other end.

Before he handles the roll of string, you can tell he's got the threaded pins in his hand, which he holds the entire time, until he slips it into his mouth.

Another thing to notice is how easily the string breaks once he pulls it off the roll. I'll guarantee the string is made of a substance that dissolves in his mouth so he can swallow it. Another indication is the tension on the string used on the threaded needles - if that was the same material as the empty string he eats, it would have broken as he pulled on it.

Yeah, the guy at 2:50 was my favorite as well.

What I'm curious on is that he had to be there for the payment window (since there are no reaction shots of that window) so he had to get this costume on between the two windows. There isn't much room between the two... so how did he pull that off?

weirdly, he pulled the door open to enter...

I can imagine a scenario where he pulls a cop over, and his car is behind the cop so the dash cam doesn't see the cop beating the living shit out of him. Then they have no evidence that the cop did anything wrong, the suspect was hostile and grabbed the officer and then resisted arrest.

No it's not right, but it's a possibility.

Newton made his discoveries to bring glory to God, and he changed the world many times over. There is no reason not to pursue the mystery of the cosmos; and no one is saying we know everything. It is not arrogance however to say what the origin of the cosmos is, and how the laws governing it came to be. After all, scientists pronounce these things on a continual basis. What is arrogant is to believe that this is solely the domain of science.
