Footage of Raid On Megaupload Founder Kim Dotcom's Mansion

[Big N]

Is this shit really necessary? Pulling a scarface scene or some druglord kingpin with all that heavy police force with 2-3 helicopters, dogs, special units, etc. Not to mention the weaponry you could fight a whole militant.

Maybe they thought he might eat them

[Shockwave]

Way overkill for him, but they plan for the worst.

Our heros. I feel safer already.

Infringing on a media company's profits is serious business.  They'll get new laws written up and passed by your government, then bring a swat team with air support after you.

Get a crime committed against you and see what you get on your side.  One fat disinterested cop telling you to take better care to not become a victim again in the future.

LOL it was Megaupload, not a Colombian Druglord...

If this happened in the late 70's early 80's, i'm sure they would have brought alot less (maybe two-three cops and one female) since we all knew how computernerds looked like then

Ice Cube said it best, "fuck the police".

Did you even read the thread title. You sir misread, and need to re-read what I wrote. I was "saying" it's not like as if they're going after hint-hint per say some major drug dealer etc. with all that ammunition and man power, etc.

But mean while we're supplying the drug cartels in Mexico with our heavy weapons and armor, from rocket launchers to what's next missiles. All made in US = business = taxes - government profits.

Agree, however worse for what? The FBI was already involved, and had already confiscated all of his servers prior to this madness.

Yea, it's Kim Dotcom/Megaupload, not some Colombian druglord.

Way way overkill and waste of resources pullin' a raid like that on a poor computer expert.

If this happened in the late 70's early 80's, i'm sure they would have brought alot less (maybe two-three cops and one female) since we all knew how computernerds looked like back then

What a waste.

[Rami]

rest assure these insecure hardened "commandos" took their fast acting "supplements" that morning to feel on top of the situation. boy they must have felt big and tough to handle a situation like that and come out on top, even managed to topple a nervous fat sack of shit and survive! All while being outnumbered by children, mind you!

[Kwon_2]

Way to treat a nervous fat computer-nerd!

i was once arrested by raid team of some 15-20 in full gear and machineguns in the middle of the city for fuck all other than my friend driving around with v for vendetta mask

Well, you can't compare galeniko with the nervous fat megaupload-nerd that spilled over.

Clearly galeniko is more of a threat and it's justified bringing full swat-teams with machineguns + three choppers etc

Resources well spent and not a waste, who knew what galeniko could do if left doing his thing.
