Those *dangerous* Korean War relics

Saw this clip today about a derelict 1950's era AA gun sitting in some
guy's yard near DFW airport. "Concerned individuals" (i.e. dimwits)
called the news station worried about the gun being pointed toward the
airport, and being used to target aircraft(!) Fer Christ's sake, did
they notice the tall grass growing all around the thing? Don't most
public libraries and VFW halls have an old howitzer sitting outside?
Sheeesh...

I lurk a lot post a little. I had to comment on this one.

Incredible. Are people really this stupid, and is the local news in Dallas
really hurting for stories this bad.

The rest of this thread was interesting. The idea of reparations, while an
interesting topic for debate, is unworkable in many ways. The first and
most obvious, who will pay and who will be paid? How are you going to
determine this? You would have to do family trees for every person in
America, and every person who has lived in America. Every black person, or
person of black heritage, in America is not a descendant of a former slave.
Nor is every white person, or person of white heritage, a descendant of a
former slave owner.
