Tank Museum evacuated after man leaves suspicious case<\/a><\/p>\nSo that happened. <\/p>\n
I want to think that the over-reacting was justified in some way, but then I realize that the Tank Museum isn’t really much of a High Profile Terrorist Target and nobody wants to blow it up. Occam’s Razor (paraphrased as “The simplest solution is probably the correct one”) tells me that this Mystery Guy probably wanted to get rid of something (that was quite illegal to own) that he had and probably wanted to make sure that it went to a place where it could be used for educational & display purposes. Mystery Guy probably knew that it was illegal to own the weapon and just wanted to get rid of it with as few questions as possible. But who needs simple solutions when we can Panic Panic Panic!? <\/p>\n
So, let’s evacuate all of the guests out of the museum (that was easy, nobody was there)! Let’s call in the Bomb Squad! Let’s… ah, who the hell cares? <\/p>\n
Let’s go to some Bonus Fun… the comments section of that R&B article. We’ve got some of the Usual Suspects participating but in this edition, we’ve got Special Guests to go with the “Special” regulars. Let’s see, one more dangerous weapon off the streets (because we all know everybody is packin’ 1920 French machineguns down in Da Hood). That gets shot down (get it? “shot down” hahaha) quickly, then somebody takes a shot (get it again? “shot” hahaha) at the Tank Museum. Somebody from the museum comes in and responds to that. After that, we get a debate on how much that the weapon is worth in drugs. Those commenters never let us down, do they? \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
There are so many ways to look at this story, but we’re going to stick with the hilarious & mocking ones.<\/p>\n
