Pineapple needs to be tariffed.

No matter how awful your screaming toddler is being in aisle 7, they aren’t nearly as bad as the meth head drawing faces on the floor with their own poop in aisle 3. #pnbrule

@EugenicGene @poetickate Uhmmmmm, actually? It’s spelled “maam”…

@DanielEstrin @NPRWeekend @ayesharascoe 6) I think it was the AC130 and a Bofors, and the “50 feet” spacing just happens to be the lead the gunner chose so he could let the van drive into his AOE or he could walk the rounds into the target if it changed direction or speed.

No warning shot at all.

@DanielEstrin @NPRWeekend @ayesharascoe Hey Daniel - just heard this piece. Fantastic work.

Few things:
1) there’s no such thing as a “warning shot” for this kind (air to surface) of engagement. A warning shot requires that the target is aware of and can see, (and thus respond to) the message from the shooter.

[Peter N. Biddle @obs3sd]

@DanielEstrin @NPRWeekend @ayesharascoe 5) I’m skeptical that the shot came from a helicopter. Nobody wants to loiter around within range of an RPG or other ground fire.

[Peter N. Biddle @obs3sd]

@DanielEstrin @NPRWeekend @ayesharascoe 4) ROF on these weapons is roughly 2 rounds a second. The Bofors is on an AC130 and is screaming fast while the grenades are on a helicopter gunship and are reallllly sloooow, but both would have roughly the same flight time because of the operational elevation of those aircraft

[Peter N. Biddle @obs3sd]

@DanielEstrin @NPRWeekend @ayesharascoe 3) the gun used cannot be a minigun because their ROF and AOE make the warning shot claim impossible, which leaves us with a single-barreled weapon, either a 40mm Bofors cannon or a grenade launcher

[Peter N. Biddle @obs3sd]

@DanielEstrin @NPRWeekend @ayesharascoe 2) let’s pretend it was a (nonsensical, not SOP, not ROE) “warning shot” - what is the target supposed to do? Stop?!? That’s a v bad idea in a fucking war zone.

Someone up in the sky wants to kill them. They don’t stop. They speed up and evade so they’re harder to hit.

@derrickgott007 @VegasIssues Fun fact. Silver tip land sharks are actually mammals and don’t have gills

@poetickate I read this ^^^ post. And then I got this ad:

[Peter N. Biddle @obs3sd]

Inflammatory shit-posting about Notting Hill Carnival.

I’m wondering how many of those folks have actually *been* to it?

This ad is political perfection.

Umm, Marge, way to own the Lib!
