Wonder why they need this in Tampa for.....GOP Convention?

[Tiso0770]

Every Veteran should know what this is. APC = Armored Personnel Carrier

This looks like a command center. Wasting taxpayers money again.

Poor gas mileage. one word of advice...don't be in front of this thing when its moving, it has blind spots.

But it says rescue... Clearly not an offensive machine...

 

[ClydeCoulter]

I can't read the fine print on it, does it say "To Protect and Serve"?

 

[Tiso0770]

Yea, but being an APC is not appropriate for that task, of course in a war zone. In my opinion, Florida screwed up getting these things.

I guess Florida is trying to get everyone accustom to seeing these on the streets.

That isnt the only APC they have down here, they usually show them off during the big parades we have down here every February. They dont usually drive that one because the damage it does to the pavement. They have another one that has a big huge battering ram on it that they use as well. INS and DHS showed off four of the big brusiers last year at the MacDill AFB Air Fest.

They have much to fear. We the people are starting to wake up, they aren't ready, not in the slightest.

 

[RickyJ]

I think it does, but the even finner print says right after that, "the Elite." Or possibly "the Rothschilds." It is hard to tell, the print is so small.

"Look at us americans... we are so free we can own semi-automatic weapons and military style jeeps!"

Pfft...

They have lots of interesting military style vehicles in the bay area that I've seen shown off in parades since I was a kid. A sample is below, but I've seen a LOT more than i can find online... also all of our unmarked cop cars are sneaky. They use regular trucks and cars with normal tint and when they zing you strobes go off all over them... the PCounty sheriff even has a 4 door dakota that the bed lid opens up electronically and there's a light bar under it that slides up above the tailgate. The police here spend TONS of money on unmarked cars....

Here's a few articles/pics:

Damn waste of money ATV golf carts are popping up all over the bay area (we also have a SMART CAR cop car that just showed up in PCounty):

Remember the arrests at the last RNC? http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/09/rnc-protests.html Back in the good old days when we still had anti-war protests

 

[neverseen]

Man..... i really hope all the deuce and a half guys come out. We had a NICE group of old street legal military vehicles at the last Ron Paul debate at USF. Would be FANTASTIC if we could have those SOB's out there in protest

 

[Ronulus]

Be careful Ron Paul delegates. If you go to a before party or rally they will likely try to arrest you to prevent you from going to the convention.

 

[wgadget]

Check out Drudge Report.

The DHS and the RNC and the military (if needed) are all working together to provide for our "free speech."

So thoughtful of them. Yes, I would agree that they are afraid of the mass awakening.

Looks like more mainstream media or DHS trying to incite a riot or 'civil unrest'....if you go to the bottom of that article, you will see this...

Don't play into their hands, this is what they want you to do, cause or justification of deadly force as a ‘Civil Unrest’ .

 

[Carlybee]

Constitutional protest is now civil unrest I guess.

But it says rescue... Clearly not an offensive machine...

That's "Rescue 2" as in, "also". It's main mission is to beat mundanes and then rescue them afterwards, "also".

Here you go....Big signs that says 'HUG A COP today'....that stops them dead in their tracks every time.
