  1. Shoigu isn't defense minister anymore
  2. If the S-400 is formidable why do they keep getting blown up by spare ATACMS that the US just had lying around in the warehouse and was going to throw away

It’d be pretty dope if someone put a bullet in putin’s head.

incoherent drivel.

look, it's fine to be critical of any presidency/government /etc, but at least
try not to base anything on feelings you've received from fox News entertainment.

Amoxtli OP ,

You don't find this on Fox News. This is stuff that mainstream news does not cover.

But but but China bad! They got the evils!

High speed camera and use the footage to calculate the speed to figure out which floor. Use impact sites and you'll get the apartment window.

It doesn’t seem unreasonable to me to set up a camera to watch the building, what makes this hard?

I’m worried that some child is vastly underestimating the damage they’re capable of, but I guess that’s still a better option than someone doing it on purpose.

The trick is, it's a 23 story building. It would be super hard to capture anything actionable from 412 feet away.

idiomaddict ,

That I can see, but surely it would be enough to narrow it down enough to get more focused footage. I’m not saying I’d be thrilled about it if I lived there, but I also wouldn’t be thrilled with a neighbor of mine raining cans down on my head

200ok ,

Exactly. At least determine which balcony or window it's coming from. It's crazy to think this has been happening for weeks.

200ok ,

Is it crazy to fingerprint the cans?

autotldr Bot , in Cans are raining down from a Portland highrise...and nobody knows who is behind it

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Cans have been smashing down onto the streets below the 23-story Ladd Tower in Portland, Oregon, for weeks now, and local residents have become increasingly concerned over the potentially deadly consequences.

Workers at the neighboring Higgins Restaurant in downtown Portland say they have been recently noticing cans being thrown out of a building and crashing down beside them, sometimes barely missing them.

Dylan Shmitt, a general manager at Higgins, told the outlet that there have been some “close calls” with some of their employees and other pedestrians wandering down the street.

“It’s been happening in the afternoons when people are arriving for our evening shifts, and so it’s a danger to actual commuters and civilians out here,” Mr Shmitt said.

Even if they were to go door-to-door conducting interviews throughout the building, which they say remains an option, most people do, in fact, own at least one or two canned goods, making investigating this bizarre situation increasingly difficult.

“Short of someone confessing, PPB personnel can’t search an apartment without probable cause and/or a warrant,” a police spokesperson said.

Many years ago I worked at a small community bank. Was one of the better jobs I've had. Then a large regional bank purchased it, and overnight it became the worst job I've ever had.

Nothing more American than working an "employee" to death

Yeah, this feels like the system working as intended.

Time to destroy the system.

I, for one, am outraged, outraged I say, that a man in Seaside, California should have a boat their yard!

DancingBear ,

Agreed, very unsightly

bamboo , in Man gets realistic picture of his boat painted on fence intended to hide it

The fact none of the shots of video and images don't line up the perspective properly with the chimney is infuriating. Is there a KillTheCameraman community to post this to?

Malicious compliance at its finest

"I’m not a rule-breaker but I like to make a political statement as necessary as well as a humorous statement and a creative statement..."

How's this political?

ironhydroxide ,

Because his city told him he has to have the fence. They wouldn't have done that without a law on the books that says he had to.
Politics is governing, and part of that is making laws. Therefores it's a political statement to technically follow the letter of the law, while disregarding the probable purpose of the law.

SaintWacko ,

Politics doesn't just mean national government. Local government policies are politics too

DancingBear ,

It’s kind of malicious compliance. Neighbors were being sticklers about the unsightly boat without the fence, so he complied and had the mural painted, which kind of defeats the purpose of the fence.

SatansMaggotyCumFart ,

I'd consider this more of a sparkling mural myself.
