I wonder if Kwame Kilpatrick would cut off the lights for his midnite cruises just like he did to the Harley's that were donated to the city.

Why not just let people use drugs if they want to.
Stupidity is a self correcting problem.

"Assault tank?" What, as opposed to the peaceful, gentle kind? What, does it have a bayonet lug?
To: Westlander; Chieftain
What the F...???!!
More insanity brought to you by the Wacky World of the Failing War on Drugs.
This is an armored truck.
This is an armored truck on drugs.
Give it up you idiots with your f...g, stupid, failing, destructive War on Drugs.

While I'll agree that the so-called "war on drugs" has been dismal, it doesn't mean that spending one's life "stoned on stupid" is necessarily a brilliant plan.

What, does it have a bayonet lug?A bayonet lug, a flash supressor, and a pistol-like grip. And it looks mean.

Just had another thought - this will undoubtedly create jobs in the street maintenance department as the tracks install their own speed bumps in the asphalt.

Why not just borrow a "like a good rental car" tank from Janet Reno?

Doesn't Detroit already have Robocop? And Axel Foley? The tank sounds like a porkbarrel boondoggle.
