update, 06.12.2014. hat tip leigh. reader leigh brings to our attention a post at "the feral irishman," regarding a sighting of a m.r.a.p. running around in "civilian" guise. an m.r.a.p. in massachusetts. noted here, http://theferalirishman.blogspot.com/2014/06/oh-isn't-that-cute-i-just-crossed-paths.html .

a $750,000.00 coffin, for louts. end update.
just coming out of heather's after breakfast, stomach contented and coffee'd out.
and, coming down the highway and heading towards walla walla, a truck & lowboy with an m.r.a.p. on the back.
rage? anger? fear? apprehension? anger? anxiety?
nah, none of those things. surprisingly enough, the only reaction & quick assessment i had after seeing the m.r.a.p. on the lowboy was an arnold schwarzenegger line from the movie "predator." he said, after discovering the liquid goop on a jungle leaf, "it it bleeds, we can kill it."

simple as that.
the thing can be destroyed. those who ride in them to oppress can be killed. it is nothing more than a heavy police car, and like a police car, is nothing more than a fancy coffin to those under attack who do not quite yet realize it.
simple weapons, simple tactics, will do. sort of like running buffalo over a cliff. just butcher them at the bottom.

marc:
doesn't take much to set off dry tinder. lots of resentment in the west to the various do-gooders who call the shots on land management.
lots.

p.s. btw, read the link. quite interesting. quite a few places like that, i should think.
just goes to prove that a species stay at the top of the food chain, or as a privileged actor in the food chain, ... , can be challenged.
goes for individuals and groups who think that they are immune from challenge at the top of social heap, too.
the higher you are, the bigger the fall. jjjay
