Florida Man harassed by the Man...

I'm not a Libertarian but really what the hell does the state care if one guy chooses to modify his truck to drive in the water in a way that causes no discernable greater effect than a boat?

Anyway, God bless weirdos, jackasses and free thinkers causing consternation to busy body, needling government bureaucrats and their minions.

I don't think he's gone on any of his shows and said he was wrong and/or to stop harassing the parents.  Of course, I don't watch/listen to anything he's on...so I may be wrong.  Thank you for the article.  Didn't know another parent killed himself, damn.

 

 

He has. It was on one of his Joe Rogan appearances. Don't care to look it up.

I agree it was a very bad take/look and i'd be pissed if i were one of the parents.

1) Of course it's Florida.

2) The juxtaposition of the tiny tires, to the huge tires is hilarious.

Good video, thanks for sharing.

"Navy Investigation of Pensacola Shooting Points to ‘Toxic’ Command Climate as Factor"

Short version: How to avoid triggering a Jihadist - Instructors shouldn't give them nicknames like 'Pornstache' or refer to them as 'the a--hole' or tell them they 'Stink/send them home to take a shower' or tell them they don't respect women, etc, etc.

Red Flag, if your an instructor don't do this - 'an instructor from TW-6 was present while Alshamrani applied to purchase a firearm in July 2019. While his action was legal, Alshamrani violated Navy regulations and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia policy for students training in the U.S. by purchasing the weapon, "transporting it onto NAS Pensacola and storing it in his [public-private venture] residence," the report states.'

The instructor was unaware that Alshamrani's application violated the service's rules, according to the report.

There's a clear conflict of interest in this report. 

We don't ignore behavior from foreign partners that demeans American values. Was a Saudi SNR available to levy these complaints? Did the instructors know they should use the SNR to do so? This dude sounds like someone who should have been sent home.

Here's the official investigation/report (long - 246 pages/lots redacted). Chapter 4 'Command Climate and Formal
Complaints' covers most of this stuff (pages 56 - 80). Also, pages 71 - 80 covers this incident in detail - Nicknames (like Pornstache, etc), Call Sign Policy, Lt Al-Shamrani and other complaints, the complaint process, the apology that wasn't enough for Lt Al-Shamrani - '2nd Lt Al-Shamrani said, “I want his hea…I want something to happen
to him!', etc.

Put aside the major cultural differences.  I could be okay with not expecting some Saudi fuck to be on board with US standards when it comes to women's rights.  Get your training so you don't meet you maker earlier than necessary and maybe not be the typical ME fuck-tard that can't employ at even a basic level.

But, is it that much to ask for a civilized military officer to show up for work daily not smelling like a camel's asshole?  Figure your hygiene issues out and don't expect us to accept your BS standards that were formulated out of necessity when a bath was only possible once a month.  We don't impose our standards on the host nation when we have exchange pilots working there.  WTF? 

How about the profound silence of increasing the concealed carry on base?  The Navy awarded those that responded and talked about how they ran unarmed toward an armed shooter.  Should that not have caused them to think "why did our sailors have to run unarmed towards an armed shooter?"  I fly with a 20mm gun that shoots 100 rounds a minute and live bombs going to the range.  I'm trusted not to go crazy and go bomb or strafe the base and/or the nearby city, but can't be trusted with a concealed pistol before or after the flight.

The sad thing is, I’m 100% certain they really did take a year to come up with that.
