I think they updated the car. This was during Easter.
The guy riding in the back with the shoulder-mounted bazooka might be a bit over-prepared
That was a camera, but I like your version better.
They want you to think it's a camera but it's actually a bazooka.
The ol' Catholic bazookamera
Now I demand a Pope Technical! What's the Italian equivalent of a Hilux?
You're looking at it. Just like how the guards themselves are Swiss, it makes perfect sense that the technical would be German.
Fiat Starda or even better: Piaggio Ape car
Does this count?
I want one. I will make it go 80 down the 10.
And look at all those white snipers on the balcony.
Where else would you mount it, the crotch? Don't be silly!
maybe i want to be a little silly.
Is there a bazooka hidden in your crotch or are you happy to see me?
Reminds me of the old clone wars micro series...
Little reminder that the pope got shot in 1981, so they added tall bulletproof glass
God works in mysterious ways yada yada
TIL, I always thought they were being overprotective.
If anyone wonders the motive: it's mental illness.
The most common excuse used for Islamist terrorists.
Believing that some unseen entity demands you act a certain way is obviously severe mental ilness.
No, I mean, the person is really insane. I spent too much time reading his Wikipedia article trying to find a motive before realizing his statements are completely incoherent and out there.
Like speaking to an imaginary friend every day, except they’re not your friend they’re your lord and master, and they also speak back to you and you have to obey them or the worst shit imaginable will happen?
Like that, or is it some other kind of mental illness?
And the Pope visited him in prison right?
