You know why there was no procession at the clown’s funeral?

my track (an ACAV) topped out at about 35mph on the paved road to Phouc Vinh, of course that was with boxes of 50cal lining the floor, engr tools and a half dozen dudes hanging on for dear life.
Get some
Where did the perp(s) steal it FROM?
Typical LEO over reaction.
Just like OJ’s Bronco, this too shall end.
“Its an M577”
Or it’s the more modern M1068 SICPS.
As of 9:40 p.m., the driver of the personnel carrier had stopped at East Broad Street and 11th Street and surrendered to state police. About a half-dozen Capitol Police officers with combat-style rifles were guarding the entrance to Capitol Square.
Witnesses said the vehicle moved up on a median, stopped, and the driver got out and started walking around. Police sent a dog to attack him, shot him with a Taser and he was taken into custody......

Note: Police have combat-style rifles and its OK. Civilians have MS-13 assault rifles AND ITS NOT.
I spent a number of my Army years riding around in the M-577 command post carrier. It does NOT mount any weapons. When I was in the my artillery M-577 fire direction center track, we had a M-60 machine gun assigned for dismounted use
It’ll run out of gas before they run out of cops.
Ohhh yeah it could be.
Lt. Joshua Yabut is his name. Is a member of the VA National Guard.
I read some about him and can’t figure out if he is real smart or just pretending to be. In either case, he appears to have gone over the edge. Will probably claim PTSD or some such.
A Richmond soldier who filed paperwork earlier this year to run for the U.S. Senate and recently worked as a researcher at NASA was arraigned Wednesday morning in connection to the theft of an armored vehicle that led police on a bizarre 65-mile pursuit that ended in downtown Richmond near Capitol Square.
Authorities charged Joshua Phillip Yabut, a 29-year-old first lieutenant in the Virginia Army National Guard, with driving under the influence of drugs, felony eluding of police and felony unauthorized use of a vehicle.
