  1. well i live in Pittsburgh and know some cops we have about 300 officers in the city its self and the rest of the officers shown outside of the secret service zone around the convention center are other police from surrounding counties and states. Pittsburgh has temporarily hired most of the swat teams and their equipment from the surrounding tristate area. if you watch the local news you would see most of the equipment is marked with other Pd's names. in side the secret service zone are coast guard and NG troops.

    the problem with events like this is that they attract unsavory types that try to take advantage of the situation. there were 14 protest on Thursday of which 13 were peaceful and undisturbed. The one that wasn't lead to 2 banks and 2 restaurants having windows broken,arrest of 19 protesters, and the local population cheering the police as they pushed the protesters away.

    I believe that what happens is the when these big organizations of people form to protest it attracts some people who aren't necessarily interested in protesting as much as getting away with causing crime while the authorities aren't capable of prosecuting. this is how you get masked protesters showing up for a legal event they are there to break laws and get away with it.

    also when you consider that projections of the number of protesters was to exceed 30,000 the forces expended are not ridiculous for such a small city as Pittsburgh.

  2. Microbursts can be very violent. I was hit by one while out in the woods of North Georgia one time, I thought for sure that it was a F3 Tornado, which I have seen up close and personal. Once you got out of the roughly 1/2 mile area of activity, there was no sign that there had been a storm.

     

    Ben is right, I would wet down the ground, and pull that tree back up right, at once. It could save the tree and would be cheaper then cutting it up to haul it off.

     

     

    how whould it be cheaper to pick that big tree up rather than cut it apart. that root ball alone is probably a ton not including the weight of the tree he would need to rent a fairely large crane to pick that up, not to mention that now that there is root damage it could fall more easily in that direction during a storm and would probably not be covered by insurance then.

  3. i personally like my suzuki alot. but jsut so you don't have to worry about buying american, i believe there is a law that car companies have to provide parts for a specified amount of time, and most pontiacs are based off of chevy or builck vehicles. so a pontiac would probably be a good deal about now.

     

    either way i payed 21k for my grand vitara xsport including an extended 10yr/100,000mile bumper to bumper warranty. i have 4x4 with a low range and get about 16 mile to a gallon, which is ok for a full time 4x4. i can also give support to the honda element my mom drives one and it is a great and relatively easy to work on car.

  4. He has every right to be a little cautious about dealing online.

     

    Don't take crap from a moron who quotes himself in his signature. $2,600 is a nice chunk of change.

    He's the seller. What does he have to be cautious about?

     

     

    By the way, Fight Club awaits your 'moron' talk.

     

    Someone not wanting to deal with him. aka losing money. BTW I don't wanna argue with you I really don't have a problem with you. You should just try and treat other people like fellow humans is all.

     

    if transactions take place through the mail and with a postal money order wouldn't mail fraud come into to play as protection for the purchaser. no one really want to mess with the post office mail fraud is no joke! (probably has harsher sentence than murder)

    if you or he wants the assurance of cc in the purchase paypal is probably the cheapest way to do the transaction, just up the price to include the fee. the seller pays all transaction fees related to cc use that is how the industry is set up, every time you use a cc the seller pays either a usage fee or a percentage of the transactions.

  5. I sent geraldo a nice little email after that AWB talk.

     

    i can just never figure how they can get any one to believe that some one who smuggles illegal substances for a living is going to buy thier weapons at full price in the us and then either do a ton of work on them to get them full auto or buys very expensive full auto requiring time and paper work. when cuba is a submarine trip east and you could just buy shipments straight from russia or africa. i mean what criminal would buy a semi auto ak in the us for 6-700$ when for the same money he could get 10 full auto's from other sources.

  6. well what i am looking for opinion wise is do any of you think that there will be availability problems with 7.62x39 in the near future that whould make the 223 saiga a more prudent choice in the days to come. meaning i don't want to get stuck buying a gun that in 5 years i will not be able to buy ammo for less than the same price as 308. i fi9gure barring some rediculas taxing that given the war demands 223 ammo is not likely to get much more expensive than it is now. but i could see 7.62 getting more expensive if it get sudden'y difficult to import it.

  7. ok so i am try to get some money together to get a semi saiga in my hands before the ban comes back. and given the current situation i am trying to decide if i should get the 7.62x39 or the 223 saiga. my worry is that there might be bans or restrictions on imprting the russian manufacted rounds and i will not be able to fully stock pile ammo by then. i would think that evenif that happens 223 wolln't drmatically raise in price but putting a whole package together for a converted 223 will be more costly than for a converted 7.62x39 since the mags are more expensive

     

    my plan is to over the next few months get the rifle convert it to a stock pistol grip config with new fcg and fore grip, and stock pile atlest 10 mags and ammo to fill them. i think the saiga is still the cheapest way to go unless i can't get one for less than about 450$

     

    then i would probably go for a ak-47c from classic arms if he still has them by then.
