Oh, you rebel!

They were there, the rebels just tried to avoid them.

Case in point, when Luke surrendered to Vader, there was an AT-AT thumping around.

Be a rebel, he can't MAKE us downvote

They brought an Interdictor with them?

Rebels were so screwed.

I approve of this message.

The Russians and Syrians do it too.
In order to decrease insurgent/rebel confidence in their weapons, they let bullets in the supply chain that have too much powder/power and which then cause jams/explosions.

However, it's just as likely that this gun was poorly maintained and blew its slide off.
Of course, being an AK-47, I bet you could just blow the sand off, put it back together again in the correct way/clean it and it would work fine lol

Hahahahaha! He's a rebel!

Based on the book The Rebel: The Outlaw Josie Wales, written under a pseudonym by Asa Earl Carter, a White supremacist. There was a This American Life (http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/527/transcript) which goes into AEC and The Education of Little Tree. It's interesting how, based on that, AEC's pecular point of view comes across quite clearly in this clip--the distrust of Blue Coats, the disdain for government, and even viewing the Native American as a "Noble Savage".

Amen! Hell, re-release any of those games (X-Wing, X-Wing vs Tie Fighter, Rebel Alliance) to work on modern systems with a graphics update and I'd throw my money at them.

Well that's surprising, I remember playing Tie Fighter and mine would come apart the second a Rebel so much as looked at it funny.

United States is the only country which voted against investigating war crimes in Gaza by UN.

US criticizes Russia over supplying arms to Ukrainian rebels, but they themselves arm Israel to its teeth by giving them $3B a year in military aid.

the Bush Administration and the Israeli government agreed to a 10-year, $30 billion military aid package for the period from FY2009 to FY2018. During his March 2013 visit to Israel, President Obama pledged that the United States would continue to provide Israel with multi-year commitments of military aid

Or just kill the witnesses and blame the Rebels...

People don't seem to understand, he's making some jokes. That's different than all the actual things that happened to black and brown people over the past hundreds of years.

So you want to say he's a hypocrite because technically he is yeah, sure. Would I wanna trade places with him? Nah man I'm white, like Louis CK said I'd sign up every year.

People's lives are a story, and in their story they are the protagonists, they are the heroes. Telling someone that the hero of the story is actually the beneficiary of a long history of racist policies and colonial or imperial rule doesn't jive. It makes you not the hero, not exactly a villain, but not the hero. So naturally like the comments above people will rebel, they'll get upset.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Black people live in a different America. It requires empathy and understand not logic to penetrate that reality.

Without knowing the context, and judging by the video alone, my instant mental picture was (and I'm not joking or making this up for any political reasons), envisioning my Mother and Sister in those buildings. That was literally my mental projection as I watched it, completely ignorant of the eventual destruction.

I honestly can't say why. Context plays a massive role when receiving/experiencing such information. It was probably that it was a typical-looking city area prior to the detonation.

Regardless, this video made my heart sink to the bottom of my soul. I would say I side with the initial rebel agenda (maybe not today, seeing so many reports of exploitation by outside groups). But, a concept I struggle with every day is the violence we act upon ourselves.

(Reuters) - About 30 Syrian government fighters were killed when rebels set off a bomb in a tunnel beneath a checkpoint in a northwestern province, activists said on Tuesday.

Videos and images posted by opposition supporters online showed a massive plume of smoke and earth shooting into the air near a small town as men shouted "Allahu akbar" (God is greatest).

Rebels fighting to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad regularly carry out guerrilla attacks against his forces, but the size of the blast, which occurred on Monday, was unusual.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based monitoring group, said the blast took place outside the town of Ma'arat al-Nu'man in the northwestern Idlib province.

At least two officers were among those killed when insurgents from the Islamic Front and the Shields of the Revolution Council set off tons of explosives in a tunnel running from the road to the checkpoint, the group said.
