Anonymous Coward User ID: 86590 United States 07/20/2007 02:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm so goddammed sick and tired of the fucking worthless media- sorry- controlled propaganda service- I could scream. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5174The AT-4 (AT= Anti-Tank) was a replacement for the LAW (Light anti-armor weapon) that allowed adaptation to existing night vision hardware. It's MAXIMUM EFFECTIVE RANGE (and if you did time in the Infantry, these things are seared into your memory) is 250 meters. It is not an anti aircraft weapon, so being found "under the Newark flight path" is as relevant as it being found next to the "Atlantic Shipping lanes"- and for the record virtually every fucking square inch of NJ is "under the Newark flight path". It's nothing. It's an empty that's already fired it's round, it's not reloadable, like a bazooka, it's a one time deal. When I was a kid in the late 70's you could pick up empty LAW's at flea markets for a couple of bucks and as kids who played Army we always had a couple. I'm sure that would get you ten years in the federal pen these days, but back then it was still America, not a Stalinist police state. THIS IS A DISTRACTION. NOTHING HERE FOLKS. |

Why would they leave the missile launcher on a strangers lawn like that and not hide it if they did use it? Let's stir the pot a little more - maybe it was planted on her lawn, hoping to incriminate her or a relative? For those of you fond of talking about "false flag ops", this should be an interesting scenario. 'course that means whoever planted it ain't payin' attention: her name is Indian, not Arab. Or, maybe it's just as simple as "dude, we gotta ditch this thing! Throw it out the window!" Now, before the flames begin, note that I'm not suggesting any particular scenario as the truth. Just providing food for thought. "Uhhhhhh......" Barack Obama |

I think I've got something here! it's a Youtube vid of the blast, and at 38 seconds, it captures a fella running from the blast with something over his shoulder, but THEN, at 44 seconds, that very same fella tries to stop the filmer from filming the blast! He keeps on badgering the guy as well, and the vid eventually stops! I can't make out what they're saying to each other though, the steam is so loud! [link to www.youtube.com] |

'Steam' blast, then a discharged missile launcher. Why would someone want to plant evidence? Maybe to get someone's attention. Maybe whoever plotted the device, wanted the police to know about it. Get the press in on it. Show it to whoever would notice something like this. Or like some folks have said, fell off a truck, someone dropped it, etc. Going to Save the World... Seriously. Join me!

blunt force trama User ID: 10555 United States 07/20/2007 06:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | John Titor's articles from the future... CBS) JERSEY CITY A Jersey City woman made a shocking discovery on her lawn this morning when she noticed a military rocket launcher lying in the grass. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 245655Niranjana Besai was leaving her house, located at 88 Nelson Street, to go to work just after 8 this morning when she spotted the launcher on her front lawn. "I read it and it [said] 'missile,'" Besai told CBS 2 HD. "There was little 'missile' [writing] on it." She immediately called police. Sources tell CBS 2 HD that the device is an AT-4 missile launcher that is used to fire against tanks and buildings. The device was first approved by the U.S. Army in 1985 and questions are being raised as to whether the device was stolen from a branch of the military. Its very powerful warheads can penetrate through well over a foot of armor, however each launcher can only be used once. The device found on Besai's lawn was said to have been used previously and deemed inoperable. Investigators are now trying to determine when and even where the launcher had been fired. Officials initially expressed concern after discovering that Besai's house is located along a flight path for Newark Liberty International Airport. Residents along Nelson Street were alarmed by the discovery. Besai's neighbor, Joe Quinn, tells CBS 2 HD he was outside of his home when he noticed Besai pointing at the device from her front porch. When he walked over to see what the fuss was about, he was just as shocked to see weapon, said to be about three or four feet long and weighing about 15 pounds. "She's pointing that there's something in the front," he told CBS 2 HD. "I said, 'Let me come down and take a look,' and I saw a little soldier on it and I said, 'Whoa, that's a missile launcher or something!'" Quinn says he originally thought the launcher was just a pipe, but after noticing the picture of the soldier -- which he described as a soldier kneeling, holding the launcher -- he realized it looked similar to a missile launcher he'd seen on television. "I got scared myself," he says. "It looked like a bazooka, and right away you think what does somebody want with something like that?" Digg This Story! Jersey City Police removed the launcher, and the incident is now being investigated by the Joint Terrorism Task Force and the FBI. Sources say Besai is not involved in the investigation as a suspect. "I don't think it was hers, they're nice people," Quinn said. Stay with wcbstv.com and CBS 2 HD for more on this developing story. [link to wcbstv.com] |
