Rittenhouse trial WOW!

Which clause, of which Geneva convention, is the use of the M2 machine gun prohibited against troops ?
It is not, where did you hear such bullshit? I have heard unsubstantiated claims that machine gunners were told not to waste 50 caliber rounds (mainly designed to destroy vehicles, ships, etc) on infantry. But far more destructive rounds, such as WP, napalm, HE artillery have all been used frequently against infantry

From Rucker in post#594 when he said:
What I did hear was that it was against the Geneva Convention to use the M2HB .50 BMG machine gun against troops, so use it against their equipment - like their LBE, helmet, etc.

Shall you tell him it's BS or will I ?

Sure, why the US Army fitted the M2 to Humvees in Somalia, God only knows

I assume that bit of the movie "Black Hawk Down" was accurate ?

remind me of the issue in BHD. BTW I knew a guy who was there. He used to work at a local gunshop now and then. I unfortunately lost touch with him years ago so I could not ask him

@Rucker61 said he heard that. He didn't say it was true. I said it was myth. You know that, because you read that post.

Barrett sniper rifles are in use. same round. I know it's bullshit

I believe Rucker does too, and he was saying it in the context of another myth he's heard. Like I related about the catfish the size of Volkswagens under the dam, that scared the professional scuba divers who were inspecting the structure. I've heard that one about nearly every major lake, river, and even some local reservoirs.
 
remind me of the issue in BHD.

M2's were fitted to every Humvee it seemed...and they were only used in an anti-personnel role (plus maybe the odd Toyota pick-up)

No Mogadishu warlord's men were shown in any vehicle that a 7.62mm machine gun couldn't deal with.

BTW I knew a guy who was there. He used to work at a local gunshop now and then. I unfortunately lost touch with him years ago so I could not ask him

Was he a Ranger or 10th Mountain ?

He was Delta -recruited from the SF

Lake Martin in Alabama, for one.

I never understood the need for Delta.

The common justification is that the abortive Iranian embassy hostages rescue mission failure (which in no way was Carter's fault) failed because of infighting between the US service branches. They all wanted a piece of it.
A case of "too many cooks".

I don't know what the need is, nor did I care.

I do...I study military forces and the US military splinters it's special forces more than most.

The rationale behind the creation of the Delta Force continuously evades reason.

Just more maladjusted boys with toys needing to feel important and shit because they have small dicks.

you should appear before the Joint chiefs and tell them that you think we don't need Delta Force
 
he thought it was cool, as he said. The kid is an ass
Pretty sure most of us did things as a youth that we felt were cool but our parents thought was stupid or dangerous or both.

When I was young the Tampa riots threatened my grandparents house and business. My mother asked me to go and stay with them to insure they be ok through the riots. I was a budding gun nut back then. I went and it was a fizzle event. Police had sealed it off and they posted a squad car at the corner. I remember thinking how cool it was to carry my firearms. How cool to be prepared to fight to protect my family. Cool? A riot cool? Potentially exchanging gunfire cool? Hell no its not cool! I was young and stupid. An ass!

Thankfully he survived his moronic decision!

Now let's turn our attention to another bunch of asses. The ones you refuse to speak I'll of. The rioting scumbag antifa thugs. They were rioting and burning other people's property. They attempted to kill an innocent young kid who was trying to help others. One a convicted pedophile tried to bull rush the kid. The other used a skateboard like a bat. Still another was illegally packing a firearm and pointed it at the kids forcing the boy to remove his 💪.

All these asses and the only one you blame is the innocent one lol

can't keep trump out-----his cult members are behind all the moronic thinking out there. The "TDS" belongs to trumpers who still worship DJT. You don't see any other president or candidate in history having signs and banners of them flying years after they left or were elected. And DJT was the worst president in history.....
Lol. "Let's go Brandon" has managed to turn chicken salad into chicken shit. Joe reversed many of Trump policies from immigration to oil. He has done 4 years of damage in 11 months lol. Imagine this moron having to lead during the onset of the pandemic.
 
If the evolved were scared by guns as you continually claim, by way of insult, they would simply go out and buy their own.

BTW, the asshole was the kid who had mom drive him from another state, with his gun to go shoot people.

"Blew away" such testosterone driven speak, we are all, undoubtedly, very impressed 🤡
"Blew away" bad but "asshole kid" and looking to go shoot people are OK 😆

I consider anyone who doesn't actually look up the data before posting to be assholes.

Rittenhouse drove himself, and the gun was already Wisconsin.

Why do Grosskreutz bring a gun to a riot?

Anyone still bringing up "another state" resembles a bag of hammers.
 
Historians already rank trump the bottom 3...............................................Ritten. was influenced by trump's crap over those 4 years, and so is your thinking most likely.............

Only if it's liberals writing history. Best president in my lifetime BY A MILE. Made us better in every way despite the constant attacks and 95 percent fake news negative coverage. Hillary's fake dossier led to the Mueller BS all bull crap and the irony.......it's your peeps in bed with Russia. Your comrade approved the pipeline for them while screwing this country and our people lol. A joke!
