Tinfoil replacement? Does Grant have them in stock?
Now that’s funny. I’ve seen “tactical pearl bracelets”, “tactical diamond studs”, “tactical high heels” and even “tactical piercings”. Some just don’t get it do they? I’m going to introduce a new word to their vocabulary: “deportment”
A picture is worth a thousand words…but damn that’s wrong. I’ve got a friend down in Fl that an Agent with the BATF (former Army 11B/Former Deputy) and I can insure you that not all the agents are that fu…well you now what I mean.
Many are probably not total F&@(#@ds, but from family I had working for the Free Beer Inside folks, the ATF is considered better then the DEA, but worse than everyone else.
I’m feeling much the same about this as the rest of you, and most of that would better left unsaid. Still, just to add insult to injury, look at the way she is carrying these revolvers: when Mr. Eliot is found innocent of all charges, and the court directs that his inventory be returned … do you really think the ATF is going to compensate him for the depreciation on all of his scratched-up (but brand-new) firearms? Yeah, I know it’s trivial, but what I see in this photo is a fundamental display of disrespect for an innocent (until proven guilty, anyway) man’s livelihood and property.
I, for one, would feel a lot better if this were a photo of a looter that just happened to boost an ATF windbreaker along with everything else. As a federal agent, this individual is an embarassment.
If he gets them back, remember that the ATF is (in)famous for seizing property then dropping charges, and them making you prove the property was innocent of the crime.
