Anonymous Coward User ID: 1331112 United States 11/10/2011 04:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | i would be a bit more worried if it was a permanent fixture. the first guy in the video said that he saw that particular model get moved from walmart to target and then back again so its mobile. for that matter, it doesn't look completely stable. still scary though. those megastores, walmart especially, is where fema has set up camp in the past in the event of weather emergencies (flooding). not some place you'd want to be if shtf, thats for sure. |

All they need to do to make this a RL SENTRY TOWER! * Stronger base. * Bigger box *Soldiers/police with auto. weapons. And a thousand yards or so of those yard wide rolls of springy razor wire festooned around the base. |

MrCharlest User ID: 1503437 United States 11/10/2011 06:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was visiting my mother in Naples Fl. I saw one of these being used there. I wasn't sure what it was. I asked my mother and she wasn't sure either she said just one day it was there and it had never left. They have guards in them and she wasn't sure what it was being used for. It was near a dog park that is visited by alot of senior citizens such as my mother with her dog. So i found it a little perplexing it wasn't in an area of high crime or an area that i felt would need crowd control. I also asked a few of her neighbors about and again no one seemed to know exactly what it was for. Nor did they seem to be bothered by it. But it bothered me and something is not right about it. Now they are cropping up everywhere. Where do we live? This is just as bad as cameras on every street corner and street light post. It's scary just what are they watching for? Quoting: nickel 1329191 Thanks for the heads up. In my neighborhood, the gov. could drive tanks up and down the street all day, and comments would range from: As long as they don't bother me, who cares? to: Let them people (police) alone. Ladies and Gentlemen, at this point, it doesn't matter if I am a fear monger; the point IS, I am not making this up! This is a real piece of equipment, and it is not a "joke." |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1685719 Yeah right hey are going to use much of anything like that in the middle of a riot while people push it over. This is not police state, this is police realizing it's easier to watch a parking lot from the high ground. tell me, you call it a police state if they were sitting in a deer stand? The Deer would. Oh they are dead. Hmmm Last Edited by NZREva on 11/10/2011 07:07 PM |

This is not police state, this is police realizing it's easier to watch a parking lot from the high ground. tell me, you call it a police state if they were sitting in a deer stand? And what if they mount guns on this Sentry Tower?! Look at the video and picture I linked. What if destruction of on of these is made a federal offense?! Do you think rioters care if they are breaking the law? They are rioting, they don't care. There is no doubt that police could have guns in that tower, but how is that any different than snipers sitting on the roof tops or a hunter in tree stand. Give me a fucking break, get your head out of the "they all are after us" clouds. It's technology, it makes sense, they use it. I bet you think roadside radar signs could have sentry turrets mounted on them too.... what about peaceful protesters? Read your Bill of Rights and the Constitution before you equate the and glibly respond. |

This is not police state, this is police realizing it's easier to watch a parking lot from the high ground. tell me, you call it a police state if they were sitting in a deer stand? I might agree with you if it wasn't the Fed behind it. What interest should the federal government have in your store parking lot? Now, if it was the local police or the walmart security team behind it, that would be different. But the fed???? Feels like a trial run for something bigger coming down the pipeline. Yeah I agree, there is NO WAY the POLICE or Dept. Of Homeland Security is spending money to simply 'watch' for crime int he parking lots of Target and Walmart....NOT buying it, I can see this crap going up all over under civil unrest and martial law. IDK we shall see. A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything. Friedrich Nietzsche if I did not feel so sad as I look at them. Sad because they do not know the truth and I do know it. Oh, how hard it is to be the only one who knows the truth! But they won't understand that. No, they won't understand it." --from The Dream of a Ridiculous Man (1877) |
