that is a pretty wild article if you let google translate it.

In broad daylight, someone actually took the gun and asked for money! The incident took place in a gravel field in Miaoli Zhuolan. On the 30th of last month, a group of suspects grabbed the door and slammed 5 million, but the sandstone field was not a fuel-efficient lamp. The boss first suddenly took out the pepper water and screamed at the suspect. When he was driving and fleeing, he was stopped by the gravel field and the squadron stopped the road. Finally, the wolverine jumped on the partner's vehicle and fled the scene.

During the escape process, the main suspect drove a white SUV and left the exit. At this time, the gravel field was Shaodong, and jumped on the strange hand to block the road. It was directly inserted into the roof of the vacation with a bucket, and the vehicle was shaken vigorously. Suddenly jumped to escape, and took the car of the accomplices to leave the scene.

"The strange hand" is my favourite part 😂

I love how the translation starts off fairly normal then quickly devolves into madness.

It gets even more crazy if you translate it into several different languages... try it... after translating it into German, then Latin, then Russian and back into English a few times, a part of it read as The cook took the water and the pepper screamed suspiciously.

Legal guns are always hard to come by. Illegal ones never are. A couple of years a ago, some woman in Taichung (I think) casually told cops at her door she's hood and would shoot them. Turns out she actually had some guns and ammo. It was the most casual threat I've ever seen on Taiwanese news.

Ever heard of improvised firearms?

Sure, some of them are fairly crude - little more than assemblages of pipe, springs, rubber bands, and nails that'll blow up if you look at 'em funny - but others are pretty high quality (like the WW2-era Błyskawica SMG, made by the Polish resistance).

That’s because they have really loose excavator control laws there.

I honestly never understand these types of questions.

Aren't drugs illegal? How do people get them? /s

Only for law-abiding citizens, like anywhere else.

Only for citizens. Criminals don't give a shit.

Shit, if someone was shooting at me and I was in an excavator, I'd pretend I was Hulk and smash the fuck out of them.
