Riot Tourism

>>34696588
That's a fucked up idea, seems something taken out of a futuristic novel, I like it.

>>34696588
this sounds like a huge money sink for little to no payoff.

First up, it's going to be hard to predict exactly where the next big riot/protest is going to be. Are you going to base this in Chicago? Baltimore? Cali somewhere? There's way too much ground to cover with just one vehicle.

Or are you going to also get a trailer to drive it around and setup where you need it? That adds a massive expense on top of the vehicle itself...

Secondly, I assume you or someone is going to be driving this armored vehicle through protests and having it blast racial slurs and other profanity at random. I have a feeling the cops are not going to like that at all. Not only will you be inciting more violence, but you could easily injure someone protesting or even the cops. You're going to be fined out your ass the first second the things rolls up on the street.

Finally, how are you planning to get maintenance done on this vehicle? How many people in the US have the skills and knowledge to even begin repairing it. Are you going to do it yourself? This is an especially crucial issue if you're planning on driving it everywhere a new protest pops up. Hell, even if you find a mechanic, how much is it going to cost and how long will it take for spare parts to arrive?

tl;dr this is a retarded idea cooked up by an autist with hardly a penny to his name who gets off on acting like an edgy racist shithead on anonymous anime forums.

You sound triggered.

have fun getting lit up by riot cops who freak out at the sight of an APC that isn't theirs. if they don't nade the shit out of you on sight they'll order you to leave and you won't get to see the fun

So, 95% of /pol/? Someone was bound to try and monetize shouting slurs IRL free from repercussions.

>>34696588
While I don't think you'll recoup the money from private tours, renting it as an armored media van with private security to cover riots is an excellent idea.

>>34696588
Bump for interest

>>34696730

Yeah, we could also rescue people who were trapped in riot zones, resupply shop owners who are defending their property, etc.

>>34696588
That is a fascinating idea. Really one of those exploration of human nature things.

Absolutely going to get fucked up, legally, physically, or otherwise. A very slightly better idea would be to get some parkor/tactically inclined faggots together and go on the ground with extreme maneuverability to keep running at the speed of light and lifestreaming from a body cam. Always keeping to cover and rooftops just watching chaos go down.

>vigilantism is a shit, and BTR man rolling through is going to get buttfucked by the law
>most rioters are going to see you as a threat and if it is a full Ferguson, there is no reason someone isn't going to whip your ass with some molotovs

How much would you charge per person, how many people could you fit, and how much would it cost to take them around the city? How much will it cost to store this thing? Are you thinking this through?

>>34696687
> implying cops had control over Ferguson

>>34696588
A better idea is to just use a drone with a camera and livestream it. And charge people like $4.99 to watch.

it worked so well last time

Check this out, guys:

Maybe just getting something already here in the USA is a better idea

http://www.armoredcarssale.com/Inventory/PreOwned

and here's some decent looking bank vans

You niggers could crowdsource enough money and buy a tank instead of a APC, rioters couldn't touch that even if they tried

or you could not spend 250k and get a T-55

I've read bad things about mortarinvestments on steelsoldiers

>>34698038
what kind of bad things?

>>34696588

Paint "PRESS" on outside in four foot high letters...
Paint it a friendly nonmilitary paint job.

Have a web page and say you are renting it out as a press transport vehicle for hostile environments. Cops mess you you ask if they are trying to conceal stuff.

Fixed armored cams in all directions... livestream setup...
Fake TV uplink antenna with network logo on it
Protected actual antennas
See what happens

Operation Steel Eye

I can't fund but once I'm out of the military I'd be willing to assist.

Fucking welfare queen!

>>34696663
All this.
OP is either a con artist or an idiot. Possibly both.

>>34700869

Can I just be a hack like the guys at Redlettermedia?

Oh my god.. I just had a perfect idea for one of the temporary names

Do it.

>BRDM-2
you know if a group of people throw molotovs at your apc because they think it is the police/military it's not going to be "comfortable and safe"

>>34696674
You sound like you lack the brain cells to formulate a proper response.
