[angrycarpenter]

I am just hearing this and there seems to be no threads yet.

[BlooInBloo]

1. There's a few threads. Nothing wrong with an update, though.

[Catshrink]

3. Is that a flame or a reflection?

[BlooInBloo]

8. Eh? Just a statement of 2 facts is all I was after.

[Catshrink]

12. I meant in the window of the car..

I wasn't talking about you....

[BlooInBloo]

39. Roger that.

[slackmaster]

2. I can't get the stream to start, so I'll just watch Chris Matthews interview him on MSNBC later

:hi:

[kirby]

4. I'll wait for the beer at the WH...

LOL

[slackmaster]

9. I'd gladly join you there for one

:toast:

[d_b]

5. either they're smoking him out

or he's chiefing the biggest blunt ever

[Catshrink]

6. I don't know how he can be alive -- or doing very well --

with all the gas they've pumped into the car.

[d_b]

7. that thing from short circuit doesn't mess around.

[Catshrink]

10. Wall-E is getting a work out.

[d_b]

11. lolz @ wall-e

[Parker CA]

13. Seriously big blunt. They've gassed him 4 or 5 times now with some serious hits. Huge clouds of

gas have poured out for a couple mins after each deployment. Gotta imagine it's getting pretty rough inside that little VW.

[Windy]

14. They should just give Kiefer Sutherland a call. The nut will think its Jack Bauer and will probably

get all excited and give up...

Hey, it might work!

[cherokeeprogressive]

15. The cameraman in the KTTV chopper was hilarious. I don't think he realized anyone could hear his

voice. He had me cracking up. Too bad the copter had to go refuel.

[MindPilot]

35. much better than listening to the bubble-headed bleach blonde

use such highly technical terms as "electric arm" -- raw feeds are the best

[napoleon_in_rags]

16. Its a good feed. From a tech nerd persepective, the robot is really cool. nt

[Catshrink]

17. What all the smoke in the foreground? Fog?

And I don't think it's that dark in LA -- it's only 6:45ish.

[napoleon_in_rags]

23. Clouds. The helicopter is far away, the zoomed way out and they are above low clouds. nt

[Catshrink]

19. They broke the window!

[napoleon_in_rags]

21. Looks like they took him peacefully! Well done, guys. nt

[Catshrink]

25. I thought he might be dead when the camera panned away..

but glad to know I was wrong about that.

[Historic NY]

18. Wait a minute he was on the left coast not the right coast.....

:crazy: Last I knew the WH didn't move.

[kirby]

20. Its over...He is in custody n/t

[SIMPLYB1980]

22. Finaly got his ass!

:bounce:

[Maru Kitteh]

24. is that fog?

[Parker CA]

27. Yes, lots rolling in.

[angrycarpenter]

26. been watching this for over an hour.

and they grab him when I am forced to visit the bathroom. Real time sucks.

[Catshrink]

28. Medics treating him for burns?

[Maru Kitteh]

29. Dude is about to get decontaminated with a FIREHOSE - LOL!

[Parker CA]

31. Yeah, that must have felt good. Hang on bud, you're about to get owned by this cannon of water.

[Catshrink]

33. I can't imagine what 5 cannisters of tear gas would feel like on the skin.

[BlooInBloo]

30. Glad there were cameras on it.

[Catshrink]

32. You saw my reply above, right?

[MindPilot]

34. Be interesting to see what this wingnut's story is.

Really weird, not one word of coverage anywhere but KTLA. I guess the M$M doesn't much give a shit if a guy threatens to blow up the whitehouse.

[malaise]

36. The lack of M$Greedia coverage is very strange n/t

[Maru Kitteh]

37. And what his RimJob name is.

I bet he listens to Beck every day.

[provis99]

38. sounds like a Glenn Beck fan.

[MindPilot]

40. Jeeze what is it with pilots?

Many of the homeowners, who narrowly escaped having their homes condemned several years ago to make room for the freeway, said it wouldn't be fair to remove homes and relocate families for the benefit of a privileged elite who use the airport for business and recreation.

"To ask people to give up their hard-earned real estate interests for someone else's recreation puts a different color on what's being asked for here," said Joe Moshe, 37, a Westchester pilot whose parents own a residence that they rent out near the Hawthorne Airport.

Recall a man arrested a couple weeks ago here in San Diego for posting threats against Obama was also a pilot and an aircraft dealer. Could be that's what piqued the feds -- access to aircraft and knowing how to operate one...well you can fill in the rest.
