They are too cowardly. They know they will lose. That's why the only thing that will happen is they will purchase
fertilizer and go terrorist.

Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.
D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.
Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".
When you have to lie to make a point all you do is prove you are a liar. I advocate every citizen to abide by the law and I'm against all victimless crime laws.
What do you stand for besides lying about others, "Survivorman"?
BTW, by supporting your lies, Bigdog proves himself to be a liar. IMO, never trust a fucking liar. Ever.

I have a Dallas cop detective friend that helped blow up the guy that shot the 5 cops. The Dallas police delivered some "food" he requested by robot. Instead of a chicken meal he got a pound of C4 courtesy of the ATF and the Dallas police.

It was a righteous act. The shooter was behind a wall and refused to surrender. Trying to take him would result in more casualties. I fully supported the DPD tactics.
FWIW, it was the first use of a killer robot by police. The military, of course, had been doing it for years with drones. The explosives used were standard charges the bomb squad had for blowing up suspected bombs using the robot.

I think you are referring to a robot used to deliver a bomb back in 2016. It is hard to tell, because you got parts of the story wrong. There was no promise to deliver food, and in fact, the delusional shooter did not even know the robot was in the area. The reason they did not use a human, was the shooter could have moved to the other side of the wall, and killed a human. The shooter did not move, so did not see the robot who was on the other side of the wall from him.
Police use of explosives has been problematic in the past. The Philadelphia Police dropped explosives on a cult house in 1985, with the intention of removing a sniper nest. It started a fire that burned down 65 homes.

Correct about Philly Police and "the first black mayor of the city". Fucking liberals, eh? LOL
First, like other tragedies such as Clinton at Waco, civic leaders learned a thing or two in the past several years.
Also, note that the bombing and fire were not purely unintentional.

Everything came to a head in May 1985 when Mayor W. Wilson Goode ordered police to raid the MOVE headquarters. Authorities soon realized that there was very little they could do to remove MOVE members from their entrenched position. At about 5:30 p.m. on May 13, a small bomb was dropped on the roof of the building in an attempt to destroy their bunker. This proved disastrous, as the roof was covered with tar and gas, and a blistering fire broke out.
It took the fire department an hour to begin extinguishing the fire. By this time, it was raging out of control. In the ensuing chaos, six adults and five children inside the MOVE home were killed. By the time the fire had been contained, nearly an entire block of homes in Philadelphia had burned down.
Much like the Waco, Texas, raid of the Branch Davidians eight years later, the government came under heavy criticism for their harsh handling of the confrontation. In 1986, a jury awarded $1.5 million to three survivors of the MOVE raid.

Wilson Goode, the first black mayor of the city, who approved the 1985 attack though he claims to have been ignorant of key aspects of it, has said sorry on several occasions.
But there has never been a formal apology from the city. No one involved in conceiving and carrying out the assault has ever been prosecuted.

Walt a Detective close personal friend was THERE and actively participated in the plan. They used the food ruse so they could get the robot close enough to the shooter to deliver the bomb. The robot dropped the bomb on the other side of the wall and hauled ass. The explosion damaged the robot anyway but it was repairable. .
I mean if you had a high powered rifle and you see a robot just heading your way with a bag in its arm what would you do? I'd shoot it. But if I thought it was just bringing me food I might let it get close to me.

The official story is that the robot planted the bomb on the other side of a wall from the shooter, and that the shooter never saw the robot.
There are three options for why your story disagrees with the official story:
1) You are lying.
2) Your friend is lying to you.
3) Your friend is lying to the official investigation into a homicide, and thus is guilty of a severe felony. I hope it is one or two.
