The feds got him on weed and then illegally searched his house (they stopped him on the sidewalk then made him enter his house. They wanted his guns, the weed was just a way to him AFAIK). He did the time for weed but all the gun stuff got dropped. Sadly the ATF ‘lost’ his property while it was in their care. Again AFAIK.
I had a convo with an LEO who was on probation and really got into it about my own experience with bastard blatantly lying about a moving violation that I was able to fight and win. (Everyone should have a dash cam, splurge on a good one that records forwards and in the cab and make sure audio isn't disabled. It's not worth the space savings. Make sure it is good enough recording quality to be able to read license plates ahead of you 200 feet out.)
ANYWAYS the conversation basically came down to "cops be lying every single day of their career" and the LEOs trump card was "Well people should believe them at their word because the system is too difficult to prove what the suspect did." He's literally saying that because if cops were telling the truth it wouldn't be effective enough to prosecute enough people, so they embellish and lie to ensure charges and fines "stick" and saw absolutely so issue with this line of brainwashed logic.
"Cops lie because the truth isn't incriminating enough"
That’s exactly the issue. “If you’re innocent then prove it” style allegations. Create a delusion, gaslight, then you can’t prove it so there you’re obviously guilty by my motives!
And I have in fact spent big money on dash cams. They’ve saved me multiple times.
What cameras do you have? I need one! It’s sad how many road rage or ridiculous drivers are on the road. I have never hit anyone, yesterday I almost t-boned an idiot who instead of turning around ahead, decided to cut through rocks and not even stop but, cut me off on almost an exit. I all of a sudden am looking mostly right to merge and see the front end of this car come out of nowhere.
I’ve luckily had the opportunity to study law in college and then be able to use it. Problem is some officers are so aggressive that they literally make you get anxious or unable to even tell your side of anything.
I was being tailgated by some idiot and was in a rental coming from one of my last classes in college. I couldn’t take the idiot flashing me and sped up to change lanes, look forward and there’s two state troopers sitting there. I got pulled over as did idiot.
This cop went from 0-100mph in seconds and I worked for the DA at that time. He accused me of drug running and asked what was in my book bag, I said “my books from”, he opened my bag that was literally my constitutional law book. Zips it back up. He had me so fluttered I wasn’t about to start shit with him but, when he gave me a ticket I asked him how close the car behind me was, why he opened my book bag with no warrant. Why he didn’t seize the car. He actually still wanted me to pay a fine for like a parking ticket. I started getting pissed at that point. It just goes to show you, someone who could have called the DA and had him in trouble with his CO had me flustered. I hate cops!!! I’ve had nothing outside one experience that didn’t bother me.
Cop wrote me a bogus ticket saying I rolled a stop sign. Disregarding the fact he was behind a box truck and literally could not see what I did at the intersection. He didn't want to watch my dash cam footage and told me thats for me to argue in court.
There’s a recent video of a guy who was driving his McLaren. Cop claimed he didn’t have his seatbelt on. The driver even told the cop he has it on his dash cam that shows him having it on. He asked for a court date and of course the cop didn’t show up. The judge dismissed the ticket.
But thinking back I’m wIlling to bet the cop likely claimed hours of OT to show up at court. I don’t know if the police department verifies that a cop actually shows up. Something signed by the court. The guy who was stopped had checked into that cop and he was making over $200k a year. Cops can easily reach that income level with OT.
This clip explains a little bit about it. There are other channels that do a super cut on the subject of all the pieces.
Was he dumb for having weed and a FFL? Sure. Did he need to get bent over and fucked by the ATF the way he was? Definitely not.
They made an example out of him because they didn't like the things he was doing and they thought him guilty of murder. The ATF stole hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of firearms from Kyle and his company 3 years after the murder of his best friend and business partner.
They didn't "lose" his firearms. He's not allowed to have firearms anymore so they kept it. Literally ruined this man's livelihood and stole thousands of dollars worth of his property for literally nothing. Idk who was pissed at him or if someone at the ATF wanted confiscated guns for a promotion.
I def watched him back in the day, and watched the podcast where he talked all about it. I think it was more like 400k+. He had a lot of nice toys, and full auto shit ain't cheap.
I've always understood that the guns were owned by his friend that was killed who is the one who was licensed to have them, and that FPS just used them for his videos. He may have owned some guns, but most of the crazy weaponry in his videos was owned by the friend.
Unfortunately the ATF will still shit on you even if you live in a legal state and have a gun. Why we need to federally decriminalize it at the very least.
One of his business partners got shot in the head on his property and then he ended getting raided and rest is history. He is on the PKA podcast as “Kyle” his non persona and talks about the story as well as his time in prison.
There was a different video from the same era where a different guy does essentially the same thing but with a lawn mower and he ends up blowing his own leg off when firing at it from like 50 feet.
There's also one where a guy shoots at some tannerite in a fridge from behind a tree and when it goes boom, the fridge door flies right at him and misses him by maybe a foot or so.
People are WAY too cavalier about Tannerite. I'm assuming (FPSRussia and the lawnmower guy notwithstanding) that if someone is doing it on YouTube, at least for one of the bigger channels, they've got a little experience and will at least pace it off for safety.
I've only shot Tannerite once. We paced off the recommended distance, plus another 75 yards or so, stuck a small one inside a microwave, and unloaded on it. Microwave door landed about 3/4 of the way between us and where it started, so there's a chance someone might have got hit by shrapnel if we'd stayed the original distance. I don't think 90% of people shooting at tannerite understand how powerful that blast really is. Before it was used for exploding targets, it was used for stump and boulder removal (and needed a permit).
Should say I'm not really opposed to it at all. I just think people are too cavalier about their safety around the stuff.
To be fair, tannerite is pretty safe, even when mixed you can't set it off without shooting it with a projectile going over a certain velocity.... The problem is that people are idiots. It's suppose to be a minimum of 100 yards for a pound of tannerite and move back from there for each subsequent pound on top of that. Somehow, that has turned into people shooting it at 100 feet (or less) which dumb... And idiots make it worse by packing it into enclosed spaces turning it into shrapnel while still standing that close.
My roommates and I threw a old refrigerator off a second story balcony... we didn't really think through the tempered glass part and took a hour or so to clean it all up... we were dumb kids
3-decker house next door was gut rehabbed a few years ago. crew threw everything from the top floors off the back porches including windows and appliances. I was in my workshop when the fridge landed. Thought it was an explosion. The windows all left broken glass everywhere. I advised the new tenants to avoid bare feet in the yard.... oh, yeah, and all the piss bottles among the detritus...
Some asshole at a logging road kegger threw a big can of Dinty Moore beef stew into the bonfire. Everybody that was standing around the fire came back to school that next Monday with 1st and 2nd degree burns on their faces and hands. Thankfully, I wasn’t close when it happened.
That happened at a gender reveal. They thought they were making a little firework to poof colored smoke. They actually made a pipe bomb and shrapnel killed the woman’s mother.
Like, it’s not gonna burn any differently than any other similar hydrocarbon. It’s only bad when you release it into the atmosphere (like other similar hydrocarbons).
C5H10 + 02 = CO2 + H20
I’d be more worried about all that polystyrene foam everywhere.
Yeah and looking it up, there’s probably like 100 grams of cyclopentane in that fridge. I think the styrofoam is probably the big concern as far as the environment is concerned, as well as whatever fumes people may breathe.
Edit: For those who feel the need to point out that we haven’t used freon in a long time, I know. This is a play on words, referencing the lyrics to “My Country ‘tis of thee”.
That sucks that someone's 4th got ruined because of some dumb asshole. I never understand what these people are thinking when they do this shit, and stand out in the open to watch it explode. Like where exactly do they think all that shit is gonna go when it blows up??
Problem is, no one thinks anymore, just acts. Thinking is “overrated” in today’s society, even if it comes at the cost of someone else’s safety or wellbeing. Blowing up anything is dangerous enough with no safety precautions, let alone blowing up toxic chemicals into the atmosphere. I hold out hope that one day, one day, these types of people will meet their comeuppance.
Extra info regarding this. This is not my house, we were at a friends home for a party. This home is located in the second largest city in Indiana.
The refrigerator was detonated about 50 feet from an above ground pool on our friend’s property.
Debris flew all over their property and got into the pool.
A Google Data Center located about half a mile away detected the explosion and the security team from Google called 911 to report it.
Several other people in the area also called 911.
Edit: The county sheriff showed up and as far as I know they were told to knock it off. I’ve recently found out more info. There was a minor injury on the neighbors side of the fence. The woman in the early part of the video got hit by debris.
I’m not the author of the video. It was taken by a teenage boy at our party. He shared the video amongst us right after.
The woman heard at the end of the video saying “call 911” had repeatedly asked the neighbors prior to the explosion to not do it, but either they didn’t hear her or they ignored her.
Yeah, I just wanted to make it clear that it wasn’t in BFE Montana. If we were in middle of nowhere nobody would have noticed. This was in a suburban setting and there’s a lot of houses around.
Okay if you wanna blow up a fridge, I’d tell you it’s stupid….but okay whatever. Go take it to a place that’s safe to blow up and it’s no longer my business.
But why the fuck would you do it in a residential area where trash will go everywhere plus run the risk of shrapnelling someone
We had a huge water balloon fight yesterday in neighborhood park and right afterwards one of the kid's mom started instructing him to start cleaning up all the balloon pieces, so everyone started helping. It was pretty cool like 80% the kids stayed for a few min and helped clean it all up. i was impressed.
I used to have this joke about removing warning labels and letting nature take its course…last few years I’ve kept to myself. I swear, I was only joking.
