I apologize, since it's already been posted, but it's a powerful pic.

Guess this happened in Iraq today, according to HE219.

...and so the story is???
is he a combatant or a bystander? has he been hit? are those bullets ricocheting off the ground or smoldering pieces of blown up car/people? Were coalition soldiers firing the shots?

You don't speak goodly engrish.

[Midav]

Dunno if the US soldier was bloodied or not (heh), but he got the job done.

Straight from Al-Jazeera, it was the new Nokia RPG-7 digital camcorder. Those damn Americans :fork:

[MEGR]

It was a muslim boy carrying a large loaf of french bread to his only relative left. His other relatives were shot before he was, for carrying the same thing.. Poor guy doesn't have shoes either.

[Midav]

Let's try and kinda keep it serious, ok? :lol:

their job is peacekeeping , not killing ... have you ever seen a police kill the suspect ? :bash:

If said 'suspect' was aiming a anti-tank weapon at the Police officer I would hope the cop would kill him at the very least.

[Mark Sman]

have you ever seen a police kill the suspect ?

Yup, thats why they carry guns. Police in Hong Kong don't kill people? Tell me another.

Also, they aint peacekeepers.

[Mark Sman]

double, oops

[ZeroPositive]

strangly enough Police in HK are only armed with six shot revolvers, and it has been probably years since anyone has been shot by one... or even killed as there has been no need.

HK police has an excellent record, and I have lived in HK for ages and never ever been troubled by anyone.

Saying that we do have the SDU, they were trained by the SAS before the handover and we have the PLA and they are very well disciplined in HK.

[ShotOver]

Peace keepers aye? hahaha, don't see any blue helmets. Even peace keepers return fire, ****.

Good on the soldier who dropped this tango.

LOL! Good job, whoever did that! woot

[scm77]

I think the guy was just carrying a pipe to fix his houses plumbing.;)
I love that pic. woot

[He219]

The lethal volley that killed the pictured Sadr-guerilla was said to originate from a Tank.


American soldiers clashed Thursday with other militants loyal to al-Sadr in Baghdad's Shiite district Sadr City. At least one militant was shot and killed by a U.S. tank as he prepared to fire a rocket-propelled grenade at the Americans.

[scm77]

Too bad they didn't hit him with a 120mm shell.

[B25Hmitchell]

Isn't the bullet hitting the street behind the guy to his right ?

[mrfloppy]

Too bad they didn't hit him with a 120mm shell.

Wouldn't that have been a waste of ammo?! Or would you have liked to see more blood on your screen? That's a bit childish, isn't it?

The poor blokes dead, don't be ghoulish.

I am sorry, I'll try to be more sensitive to murdering terrorists. My apologies. :roll:

I'd call a guy holding an RPG, ready to fire, anything but a suspect lol
Police or military, it doesn't matter. The outcome would have been the same.

The guy fought and knew the consequences....

[MEGR]

Ok Benny imagine this, someone shoots an RPG at you, and you are a soldier (which will prob never happen), you can just sit there and try the keep the peace by saying "hey, stop that, someone is going to get hurt." Then the guy who fired the rocket will look at you, and laugh as he fires another volley at you, and your comrades.

[American Patriot]

So you are faulting the U.S. abrams gunner for killing him?

[Midav]

Now, now Mr RPG gunner please put that down.

I know.... I know you may be angry right now, so please take this prozac then we can talk this over, k?

You could put an eye out with that thing....

"Put your RPG down slowly on the ground" ... "Come up with your hands up" . "Stick your right finger to your nouse" ... rofl "Now walk on the straight line" ...



Police don't deal with people with RPG's , benny . You should wake up or live the computer , kid . And then ask any Policeman in Hong Cong what he's ROE , and if he can shoot on someone who pointing simple 9 mm pistol on him (let's live RPG alone meanwhile , ok ?) .

There is police shooting drill , called instinctive shooting . It's when you draw and shoot as fast as possible . Ever wondered why they teach that, if when a guy that pointing weapon on you , then you can't shoot back , and you have to ask politely "Put that thing away" ? Think , think good about it .

Or people with RPG's and Bazookas run everywhere in your home town ?

[deutschersoldat]

hmmmm

i think its ok that the m1 gunam killed himm...it was the onliest thing he could do. thats war

but it is totally morbid to make a topic about it !!!!!!!

you are cranky
:cantbeli:

[computer]

Hello you stupid fokkers, there is one thing you should learn: READ
Maybe you can read, but then you may have your head in your mothers ass.
No-one in this forum has said something bad about the fact those tankers killed that chap, we are talking about the fact that you people are getting horny from watching footage of it, that is the case.

[benny5405]

O... i 'm sorry i think you all are right , i apologize of my post before , but actually i don't like the guys who said happy and good when they saw the photo , because , althought he is a terristism , he still is a human , living in a same plant with ue , he still have life , have a faimly , so we better said this is unlucky , we should not said he is good shot or other these kind of words ...

[bayul]

is the tracer round going through him and deflecting in that pic or is it bouncing off the pavement behind him to the right??

[101st__and_1/2]

Anybody whose seen a jackie chan movie knows that... come on, whens the last time he shot a gun, honestly? ;)

yea i agree, we shouldn't say 'he's a good shot', anybody could have hit that shot from a mile away, they guys alone in the middle of a street. any standard tactical scope will make him look like a hippo from 500 yards and in.

[Laworkerbee]

The man with the RPG is a legitimate target, any and all means should be use to neutralise him, don't start with the whole Americans are savages thing.

War is hell and at times savage action is called for, can you use the same defence for the savage action of the PLA against unarmed students?.

[dumdidum]

is the tracer round going through him and deflecting in that pic or is it bouncing off the pavement behind him to the right??It is bouncing of the street. Notice that the tracer goes behind his knee.

[talib_killa34]

Are people actually arguing this guy was not a legitimate target!???

..the hell? :cantbeli:

[PeoplesPoster]

Excuse me, but are you insane? This cannot be compared to a policing situation. That was an enemy in the process of shooting an RPG at the soldiers, not some criminal suspect trying to resist arrest.

[catchv22]

Did any of you notice that he apologized for the post earlier?

[M_S]

Have some respect for the dead! :bash:

Aiming an rpg against a tank takes courage.

Ya I can respect the courage - assuming it wasnt blind stupidity.
Respect the courage but despise the ideology.

[Identity31690]

Yeah, maybe, but if he's stupid enough to do it in daylight in the middle of the goddamn street, then maybe he deserves to get shot.

[haze99]

yes, I saw the actual camera footage yesterday morning (June 11). It was aired on Telemundo or Gala. (One of the hispanic channels) It shows this guy and a (bunch of other people behind a wall.) This chap has this RPG-7 and edges his way onto the street. He is squatting down and shoulders the lanucher. He is hit with one burst of 7.62(?) he falls back onto his butt and then another burst of rounds is fired, killing him. Job done.

And would you look at that, no kids or babies killed. How about that.

BTW, if you are going to go, totting around bazookas or recoiless rifle's. And you decide you want to aim it at a some soldiers. Expect to be shot. Do not expect a damn Latte!

[Durandal]

their job is peacekeeping , not killing ... have you ever seen a police kill the suspect ? :bash:

Actually, yes...


Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati police shot and killed car-theft suspect Jermaine Lowe, 21, of Mount Auburn after police say he shot at them near the intersection of Vine and McMillan streets, a block from the University of Cincinnati.

I watched it happen as I was drinking a Rolling Rock in a bar right across the street.

[Durandal]

What the hell are you talking about? Why don't you try reading? What's so bad about tankers killing some dumbass with a RPG?

He never claimed it was bad. He is appalled at the fact aht a bunch of 20 year olds are hopping up and down and discussing where the tracer passed through is body.

Which I agree is pretty damn childish.

Good or bad. This dude is dead. He deserved it, let it lie. WHY anyone wants to watch a video of a human being get stitched with MG fire is beyond me...

Our troops defended themselves, in the case, very successfully.

So let it lie...

I just posted this because it was an interesting pic.

Interesting of all the opinions that are being shared.

Alas, perhaps safer, the world would be such a boring place if we all thought alike....

Bout time someone drew the words PWNED across that pic...

Anyone who wants to try and sympathize with the bastard is a dumb****...almost as dumb as him...

The bastard pointed an RPG at the tank and he got offed...cry me a ****ing river...

[DHN_STONE1]

pm for the video very graphic

[Vance]

Concur with Mr. Duet...

[scattergun]

This guy was hit in the head with an un-tracered round or a deflection from the pavement. The pic that looks like the tracer is smoking him is an optical illusion, the tracer is bouncing off the pavement to his right.

Look at the ultra slo-mo video.
