Ferguson again? Is reason ever going to stop going on about the militarization of police?

  Wait, what? Libertarians aren't talking about that AT ALL!
  
  False flag! Wacko birds!
  1. Free Society 11 years ago
    
    Libertarians never bitch about police abuse! For you see libertarians are white people and so are cops. It's all part of the International White People Conspiracy, the most commonly accepted conspiracy theory fact of all time.

Looks like, oh, I don't know, the guy from Ferris Bueller got a deal on reduced recoil ammo.

Look, if he got that close to the surplus sherman tank unhurt, he can climb on top, open the hatch and fire inside.

It's "IS" now, not ISIS. LABEL: WRONG.
1. UnCivilServant 11 years ago
  
  If you want the label to be right, it has to be in Arabic.
2. WTF 11 years ago
  
  Depends on what the meaning of IS is.

    *narrows gaze*
    
    Maybe I should congratulate you on that, but I'm still not sure...

      No, that's quality. A.
      1. Swiss Servator, spare a franc? 11 years ago
        
        Oh, to be sure. Maybe it is just jealousy eating at me, that I did not think of that first.
        
        WTF 11 years ago
        
        Yeah, I was surprised someone didn't beat me to it.

        I'm disappointed the 'DINK' acronym didn't get any play.
  2. Pulseguy 11 years ago
    
    Shouldn't it be "...on what the meaning of ISis."

  I enjoy the fact that this militant Islamic organization named itself after a pagan goddess.
  1. invisible furry hand 11 years ago
    
    They learnt from the fine example of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front

      Curse your speedy antipodean typing!
  2. Swiss Servator, spare a franc? 11 years ago
    
    Almost as good as the Moro Islamic Liberation Front...
  3. wareagle 11 years ago
    
    if I remember far enough back into my youth, some group either opposed to ISIS or aligned with it has to have the acronym SHAZAM.

So this is Peter Sellers in the next war, fighting the creatures of the USA. I'm confused. MOAR LABELZ might help.

Isn't Peter Sellers dead? I mean, like "Lou Reed" dead, not "Lauren Bacall" or "Robin Williams" dead. You know - DEAD dead?

Anyhoo - awful. Therefore - perfect.

Happy Friday, Reasonoids!
1. Swiss Servator, spare a franc? 11 years ago
  
  ALWAYZ NEEDZ MOAR LABELZ.
  
  I'll give sage a hand here:
  
  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

  As I said in the Brickbats thread, isn't bagpiping a violation of the NAP? 😉
  1. UnCivilServant 11 years ago
    
    How did you get away?
    
    *Re-Ignites Flamer*

      GET 'IM! BURN!!!!
    2. Ted S. 11 years ago
      
      Burning heretics is definitely a violation of the NAP. 😉
      
      UCS is the Wicker Man.
      1. Swiss Servator, spare a franc? 11 years ago
        
        The NAP is terrific...BUT I DRAW THE LINE AT INSULTING BAGPIPES!!!

I hear KURDS athletic gear will be the next big thing, once they expand their catalog to include more than headbands.

I can't wait to pick up my new pair of Air Kurds.

  "Just shoot it"

So American manufacturing isn't dead?

  No, but the Kurds may end up thusly.

    I'd love to see the results of this poll question: Who would have been a better president over the last six years, Barrack Obama or a dead George Carlin?

Yet we tell Putin that there's going to be hell to pay if it turns out Russian equipment shot down that passenger plan over Ukraine.

I'm patiently waiting for John Kerry to realize the arms on all sides of the Iraq conflict were made in the USA, and then announce: "All options are on the table."
1. Acosmist 11 years ago
  
  Probably because the Russians shot it down? You don't think that's maybe relevant?
  1. Sigivald 11 years ago
    
    Of course not! Actors don't matter, only manufacturers!
    
    (And, er, aren't the ISI* M1s ... captures?
    
    Is it the US's fault that somone captured equipment from the other side in a war?
    
    Evidently!
    
    Lots of luck on using an M1 effectively without training, guys!)

      Guns are EEEEEEEVVVVVIIIIIILLLLLLLL!
