Guest Post: Military Rolls Tanks Onto St. Louis Streets...But Why?

I saw one a few weeks ago flying at less then 300 feet here in Connecticut. I couldn’t believe how low it was flying. It was a light blue color.

Maybe they can clean up the North side of the city and then roll in to IL and clean up East St. Louis. But my guess is that Obummer will have them roaming the streets of Clayton, Ladue, Frontonac and Town & Country where the really bad citizens of the St. Louis area live. If he would just clean out these people, their homes and bank accounts there would be no problems in the US.

Your assessment of what Guv Blanko (spelling intentional) in Looziana is perhaps the worst read of events I’ve seen this side of the Ed Schultz Show.

[Chode]

did it look like this???

[ncfool]

This is to intimidate Missouri voters to vote for Air Claire McCaskill and the Choosen one.

As recognition of that universally revered philosopher (now departed), Rodney, can't we just bend over, spread'em, and smile...

I'm not departed. I'm still here!

Oh, that Rodney...

25 years ago, we had Ronald Reagan, Johnny Cash, and Bob Hope.
Today we have Obama, no cash, and no hope!

If you can't appreciate the pure beauty of the violin after hearing this, something's wrong with your ears.

Or you can get raw with these strings.

How about this gamechanger from America's Got Talent (which they SHOULD have won).

Either way, the violin is sweet yet lethal.

Do it!

[bandleader]

Are they preparing for the imposition of “Martial Law”?

[peeps36]

It was a baby blue color and it didn’t have any writing on the sides. I never saw such a big plane flying so low in this part of the state. I could feel the ground vibrate as it flew over me.

St. Louis should send two batallions of gang bangers to Annapolis.

[Chode]

it was just a thought, i don't know if there are any private C130's out there or i'd say maybe it was company owned

[hinckley buzzard]

These vehicles have wheels not tracks. They are not "tanks" as the term is ordinarily understood. They are apparently personnel carriers. Nobody drives tracked vehicles for hundreds of miles. They would never make it. I'd chalk this one up to media jerkoff incompetence.

[familyop]

Suffering from the noise of APCs rumbling down the streets, or being consumed by hordes of unemployed political regulator zombies jonesin’ for their recreational drugs after the bond collapse?

Choices, choices. Enjoy the slide. ;-)

[hinckley buzzard]

Forget it. Tanks are transported by rail or at best by flatbed truck. You don't run tracked vehicles over hundreds of miles of pavement. They fall apart. Read up on the problems of the Das Reich SS Panzer division responding to the D-Day invasion, when French resistance sabotaged all the flatbed cars of the railways in Southern France. Not that much has changed. .

I’ve been reading this paranoic bullsh*t since Clinton in 1994:

*The ChiComms have a million troops in Texas.

*The army has a secret guillotine that can chop off 500 patroit’s head per hour.

* The Russians have 50 tank battalions hiding in Montana.

And now we have an army tank battalion in St. Louis.

So what? I heard that the US Air Force is planning a sortie to drop napalm on your army. Now what will your army do?

[null and void]

Anyone that spells America with a K is a jerk.

A jerk, a realist or both.

Sadly this place is a pale semblance of the America I was born in. Even the Flag is different.

[null and void]

Not to panic. The photo is Russian tanks invading Czechoslovakia.

Nothing like that here, yet.

[null and void]

I'd chalk this one up to media jerkoff incompetence.

Say it isn't so!

[Old Sarge]

the average American is just too stupid, lazy, self indulgent and uninformed to be able to understand the mission and functions of the armed forces.

[Donnafrflorida]

i second that. she let all those people suffer cause she did not want pres bush to look good.
i will never forget watching the sheep go to slaughter aka as “the dome”.

[Lurker]

Whe was that picture taken?
