The paintballs contain capsicum spray liquid. They arent just shooting him for fun.

Ahh, well that makes more sense, but the same logic applies to pepper spray me thinks. Never been sprayed or hyped up on heroin, so I couldn't say.


Hyped up on heroin? I guess you're one of those guys who knows nothing about drugs except that they're "bad" because people get "hyped up" on them. Don't be that guy.

Heroin and drugs like it make you feel weak and drowsy, as well as slowing your breathing. People on heroin aren't going to be doing any ninja shit.

Yeah, I've never seen paintball guns used by cops before. *nsfw for the language towards the end.

Paintballs guns? I mean, they hurt, but for a person that is committed to his end, they offer no resistance.

Is this Rachel Maddow brother? He has the exact same speaking style. Is he advocating revolution?! Didn't people on the right just get marginalized for such statements? O wait, I forgot I am far more happy playing paintball then thinking about politics, carry on new channel!

Looks like the tracking is improved over the older version.

I bet they have the computer comparing what it sees to a snapshot of what the turret is supposed to 'protect', and it will fire at anything that is 'out of place' when it's active. There were a few times when he'd crouch and sit still, and the thing would just unload on him, but when he hid behind the tree it hold fire.

Either way, fix the issue with the paintball loading, and put some better speakers on that thing, and you have a truly terrifying contraption.

I never said a paintball gun justifies piracy. And this wasn't piracy.

I used the Al-Jazeera article as a source, and then I went looking for the actual definition of the phrase "International waters", because it was thrown around all the time, and I had no idea what it meant. Wikipedia is as neutral a source as there is, IMO.

I never claimed Israel's territorial waters extend 65km off their shores. I merely questioned what "International waters" actually are.

Of course the paintball pellets weren't loaded with paint. This isn't a game. But if you're suggesting tear-gas is a chemical weapon, then every girl in college around here is armed with unconventional weapons. Take that Geneva.

-------------------------------------------

Let me say this again. I was, and am, AGAINST the military operation in it's entirety. I wish the IDF would have just let the ships pass and bring their supplies into Gaza. I really don't see the harm in that, and now that the Rafah crossing is open, it's all moot.

I do, however, believe those soldiers fired ONLY after feeling their lives were threatened. I base that on this video and on the recently released recording of the boarding force itself.

This mess is entirely Israel's fault. I'm not denying it. I'm stating it clearly.

But, please, stick to the fucking facts. Is that too much to ask?

..so..

..is NOBODY else curious as to how they got the security cam footage for this video?

Even if they managed to get it by asking nicely, how did the thief miss two guys sitting in a truck?
They pulled forward like, 5 feet to shoot him.

Not to mention, anybody that's played paintball knows that if you get shot.. It doesn't hurt that much. ESPECIALLY if you're wearing thick padding like..say..a hoodie.

and last but not least.. why is the complete video pg-13? Guy's getting shot and in pain.. and in the heat of the moment they're shooting him..but not a single swear word? They actually say "We got you, ya puke".. I don't think i've ever called someone that, nor will I ever because I can think of far more..colourful words.

> Secondly, those paintballs would do serious damage at that close range.

i have shot a friend at 1 foot range with paintball guns

i have been punched hard by friends too

Legally those people would need to make sure no-one ever figures out who they are since the punishment for shooting paintball guns at a person is much more than the punishment for stealing a bike.

In general though I like the concept and I definitely like that they used mace on the guy. That is a much more acceptable way to punish a person in today's society.

They probably could have legally maced the person and trapped them, calling it a citizens arrest, then just waited for the cops to come pick the person up.

If I frequented a place where this was happening I would either first consult a lawyer as to what the best action would be, or I would try to make friends with someone at the local police department so that I could get a real stake-out put together. Cops can get away with a lot more than regular citizens in a scenario like this.

. It's a viral ad for whatever the stupid hand logo goes to, or maybe paintball equipment.


Definitely not a viral add for the Paintball gear. Those looked like Vl maxis guns (http://www.pbreview.com/products/reviews/3826/) which are very low end. Also, no paintball company would want their product seen being used in that way. It would be extremely bad for business.

*viral for sure. All the hallmarks of shaky "amateur" camerawork catching the drama just right, including a "fallen soldier" pose with a perfectly lit paintball shot hitting the spine, topped off with the hollywood-style cop-arrival ends the action sequence.

Also.. "he's got a knife"... If you did have a knife, you wouldn't run at a van where they are also shooting you with a paintball gun. Secondly, those paintballs would do serious damage at that close range. Most thieves would run like hell. It's a viral ad for whatever the stupid hand logo goes to, or maybe paintball equipment.
