Check out this pictorial showing the typical skill-level of the various militias fighting in Monrovia, Liberia. From the introduction:
...use of iron sights is known to be strictly prohibited. Also prohibited are aiming, assuming a supported firing stance, and any common practice of marksmanship whatsoever. Hip-Hop/Rapper/Gangsta shooting stances are mandatory, the "Glock Foh-Tay" hold being the most popular. lethality is acheived by subjecting the target to a wide swathe of area fire, simliar to unaimed indirect artillery, or scaring the enemy away with gesturing and aggressive hip-hop style dancing while firing. Points are awarded for artistic effort, style, fearsome facial expression/vocalizations and blue duct tape.
It would be hilarious if it wasn't so deadly serious.
Found at (Wizbang). Thanks for the reminder, Victor!

Posted by: Ted at December 16, 2005 09:46 AMDude, I stole that link from Simberg a whole day before Wizbang got it, and you give him the link? Sheesh. Your crony status is in peril...
