Why would they hold the victims accountable for anything on this limited FBI Background Investigation? This wasn't a criminal investigation by any means, it wasn't even really a standard background investigation. FBI was limited to who they could talk to for the duration of 1 week which at the FBI is 5 working days.
Yea unless she did something really stupid like admit it was all fabricated later, there's really no proof it happened or didn't happen and not worth anyone's time to bother.
If the outcome of all the investigation bullshit is there's no evidence he did anything, how are they going to hold the "victims" to account for attempting to ruin his career and for having a lasting negative impact on his life?
Possibly a civil lawsuit, Dr Blasey Ford the "victim" is a multi millionaire, but most likely they won't waste their time, there's only so much time in life.
Whats actually going on with the Kavanaugh thing? I havent been keeping up. Theres no evidence to support the claims or something, and people get butthurt?
the spear is prehistoric man its one of the oldest tools known to man, for a reason. its logic really. give me a any king of spear and ill wreck any knights horse, all day long, its in the design. a normal horse would shy away because they aint stupid or blind, they shy away from pointy objects. a well trained horse may charge but it will be its undoing against any spear.
prehistoric, spears was used to hunt all kinds of large and some time also vicious animals. and dont forget the spear can be thrown as well.
but this is a game ;) spears meh ;)
i wouldnt mind buffed spears (maybe not lances, idk) the spear is a nieche anyway,
imo all spears should have 4 attack directions + thrown
So you're going to stop a 900 kg object that is moving towards you at 30 kilometers with a 5 lb spear? Those spears were glancing off of people in the video who were on foot, let's not forget the horses were usually armored in chainmail or some kind of padded armor at this time.
notice the forward lances, this pose wont break limbs at horse impact
By the time Tercios and pike squares were in use cavalry were starting to use handguns so they no longer had to charge them. They could simply ride up to the square and fire a pistol into the block of men. Your average medieval spearmen was carrying a 5-8 pound spear that could be used with a shield not some massive two handed pike that was unwieldy in Infantry combat.
Yup, pretty dopey to believe that bracing a long spear's end in the ground will break your arm on horse impact. A horse will naturally shy away from an obstacle. A hedgehog of spears would be insurmountable to cavalry UNLESS they could attack the formation in the flanks or rear. The square solved that.
Mounted Knights fought in deep formations and a pissed off or scared horse only has one direction to go which is foward. They also naturally follow the herd and aren't going to stop, they will plow thru the infantry formation. It's a 5-10lb spear vs a fast traveling object moving towards you that weighs 1500-2000lbs, you're going to get critically injured or killed trying to stop it. In good circumstances when the front rank of spearmen can stop the first horses they would have a dead 2000lb animal on top of them and everyone around them which would open a giant gap in the line and everyone in their rear ranks would get promptly trampled.
A trained armored horse is not going to rear up when struck or be scared off from a front rank of spears, they used blinders and other methods for jittery horses and usually kept them in the rear ranks. It's not that the spearmen can't win, it's just extremely unlikely until the advent of the professional disciplined pikemen which came towards the end of the medieval era which also brought modern weaponry like guns and artillery, and they at times still got slaughtered by heavily armored cavalry. French Lancers slaughtered formations of highly skilled Pikemen to a man at Marignano and Ceresole. So if the best trained Pikemen in the world were slaughtered by Cavalry charges ( Swiss and Landschneckt ) I give the chances of a conscription levee of spearmen a pretty low survival rate. Even if they did have the balls to brace the initial impact of a charge it would mean certain death, this is why most people just broke formation and ran from an oncoming charge.
As you can see here, a trained horse doesn't shy away from danger. Medieval Knights and Cavalrymen dedicated their entire life to equestrian training, the typical Medieval Spearman was an untrained farmer levee who had nothing to gain and everything to lose, more reason to run.
Even under the very best conditions, in the same mountain pass that the Spartans fought the Persians hundreds of years before the Greeks were severely defeated in a frontal assault in the narrow gap by Roman swordsmen charging their Sarissas and Phalanxes head on.
The spear is a reliable weapon still no doubt, but it's effectiveness even against cavalry is greatly exaggerated, example even where you can brace your spear, the impact of the horse is going to break your arm and then you will be trampled or crushed to death if you stand fast in formation. Even if you do manage to stop the first horse you will be severely wounded or crushed, and then there are 5-10 more horses following after that, in other words you are screwed either way. Cavalry were able to roll through formations of spearmen with relative ease up until professional pikemen could be employed, even then they had severe trouble handling cavalry because of the various angles and timings of cavalry attacks.
You psychos relate every fiery discussion to communism.Just amazed how the shit just escalated to the communism lol,give a break please.
SJW beliefs are firmly rooted in communist ideology which is anti-meritocratic, anti-class and anti-European. It's a perfectly logical comparison because it's just re-branded communism.
As is scientifically proven in this video spears are generally better than swords (not to mention spear users are smarter, cooler, more handsome and generally more pleasant to be around than sword users). You may commence the buffings now, i'll happily take back some turnrates, perhaps a bit of damage too. Oh and a overhead stab since the polearm one is trash.
Here we have several well documented examples spanning multiple wars involving battle hardened and professionally trained Macedonian, Greek and Seleucid spearmen + hoplites being slaughtered by Roman swordsmen. Probably the best example you can find of trained soldiers using spears vs swords considering the majority of European medieval armies were mainly filled with poorly trained peasant levies.
That's not left, stop insulting communists ffs. There is no left in America, never was and never will be. What they call leftists are bunch of people with perverted and degenerate ideas and opinions. No tranny would ever become important person in true communist society because such society is strict and logical and would never allow degenerate element to represent it in any shape or form.
Getting rid of Linus is what any true communist would do.
Individuality, free thinking and personal skill are all looked down upon in a true communist society. These qualities disrupt the unnatural and artificially equalized societal privileges and are considered a threat to the state.
