Video Shows US Contractors Killing Civilians

Employees of the US military contracting group Academi (formerly Xe, Blackwater USA and Blackwater Worldwide) are seen in new leaked video shooting their machine guns at random while driving through the streets of Baghdad, crashing into other cars and even running over a pedestrian without hesitation. Academi received a $250 million contract by the Obama administration to provide military services in Afghanistan.

shooting indiscriminately with their ak-47's ha let that foreshadow the stupidity of this video

[Skyler Ford]

Well thank you for insulting my intelligence and experience. And glad that you have the freedom to do that, you know where you got that freedom from? Oh ya, a SOLDIER. You want to know something about people that have guns in the U.S.. They have permits for them (most of them do anyway) and we told the people in Iraq that if they are out walking around with them, they are a show of force, and are considered a threat to the U.S. soldiers and contractors there. So get your facts before arguing.

@ 0:28, fuckin muhammad pulled out right infront of the hummer, whats he supposed to do? and the blue suzuki was going slow as shit, they opened their doors because their seatbelts got caught in the door obviously...and ms.haji didnt look left or right k....i call her incident. getting froggered. =)

Well since I am going into the Air Force, I won't be shooting at innocent civillians. Why did you spell my name like you have a mental handicap? Do you think it somehow strengthens your arguement to mock a person's name? It shows arrogance and immaturity. Also, there is no exact way to know that percentage, they don't exactly do a census on the population of illegal gun owners. How is not using my real name me being a "Scared E Cat"?

You can "legally" be indefinitely imprisoned or executed now, just for disagreeing/expressing different opinion; Are THESE the "freedoms" we should be kissing the ass of soldiers for, "Tyler"?

[4998826p]

Lets examine these "freedoms" you're so sure we have, thanks to People willing to go to other countries and kill people there, shall we, "Tyler"? I was at a peaceful anti war protest here. The cops were trampling schoolgirls with horses, and clubbing 80 yr old women on the head. For peacefully demonstrating a differing opinion. Btw, you're now "legally" a "terrorist", if a peaceful anti-war, animal rights or environmental activist, subject to loss of all rights/property/citizenship.

I would like to see you in that video, MJay9.5. You would be the one on the floor in a fetal position, crying for your mommie I'm sure. What, exactly is that percentage by the way, of illegal gun owners with gang affiliations?Stop trolling and use your real name, Scared E Cat.

[bpd26bpd]

Don't confuse someone who resists an invasion with someone willing to murder innocents to further their ideologies. If this country was ruled by a dictator and was deposed by another country then I wouldn't fight that country's troops at all. I would embrace them and ask if I could do anything to help out with rebuilding my own country. The criminals and jihadists over there are just that, and the fact that I never shot a driver in the face for cutting me off is testament to my restraint.

Shooting in indiscriminately with their AR-15's you mean.

[murdabitches]

Have you ever heard of a car bomb? they are firing either warning shots or shooting at the engine block to disable the vehicle. I am not saying I necessarily agree with how they operate but blame the US government they are the ones who set up that SOP.

[MotoXjay95]

Did you see a single person with a gun in that video? You moronic. You think it is ok to go to another country and opress it's people while trying to force them to adopt a type of government we approve of? I now know why other countries hate the U.S. We shouldn't even be in that country, let alone shooting at civillians to prove a point. P.S. a fairly high percentage of gun owener are illegal gun owners with some sort of gang affiliation, good attempt but your arguement was a fail.

not AK-47 sir
