33 arrests, 40 guns seized in Anaheim gang crackdown

August 10, 2012

The raids, the culmination of an investigation dubbed Operation Halo that started in June 2011, began at 4:30 a.m. and focused on the criminal street gang called Eastside Anaheim, whose members are responsible for murders, drug trafficking and other violent crimes, Police Chief John Welter said at a news conference.

Looks like Anaheim PD and the ATF had some fun.

This was the shotgun before it had to be destroyed.

Arrrrg Mateys, 

One of our US PALM contract build tactical shotguns served well repelling pirates from boarding the cargo ship that was sailing off the coast of Somalia.  US PALM also supplied other related weapons and gear for this team.  This picture is the end of the shotgun’s life, taken just before it was sent to Davey Jones’ Locker.  BATF allowed their team to export the guns for contract use, but would not allow their re-importation.  They were instructed to destroy the firearms and send them to the bottom of the sea, with photographic evidence of course. 

No after action report yet. But it should be a doozy!

This is my Pretty Pony. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My Pretty Pony is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. My Pretty Pony, without me, is useless. Without my Pretty Pony, I am useless. I must ride my Pretty Pony true. I must ride straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must ride him before he rides me. I will…

My Pretty Pony and myself know that what counts in this war is not the rides we ride, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the colors we choose that count. We will be stunning…

My Pretty Pony is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its mane and its tail. I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage as I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my heart against damage. I will keep my Pretty Pony clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will…

Before God, I swear this creed. My Pretty Pony and myself are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life. So be it, until victory is America’s and there is no enemy, but peace!

I’m not sure if bronies are into My Pretty Pony, but this might interest all you bronies and Military Bronies out there.
