Haha. Ok, you got me with my imperfect grammar. The photo is new to me. I recently went through an old photo album I had. The black paper pages were literally falling apart in my hands. A lot of the photos, including this one, were only the size of a negative as he likely just did a direct transfer exposure by laying the negative sheet directly on photo paper rather than having access to en enlarger. I wish I could find the actual negatives so I can scan them in a bit better quality than just taking photos using my iPhone to preserve them.

If rioters are endangering the lives of others, put them down with whatever you have at hand. Use a freakin cannon for all I care.

Had a friend in the guards during the Newark riots. He had some stories to tell.

I don’t think he’s flexing the military actions that his grandfather took and their social implications, but rather the fact that his family member took a picture in a cool APC more than 50 years ago. OP clarified this multiple times

Didnt Arbuckle violate a woman with a wine bottle and kill her?

Sweet gracious, what a horrible way to die. And probably had no warning that those were going to be his final moments on earth. May your great-grandfather RIP.
