Nice. I haven’t seen a good siege in quite awhile.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Not since "Under Siege 2: Dark Territory" came out am I right?
lol. I hate seagal so much. Also, I’m not even sure either movie had a siege. Brief hijackings, really.
A good siege. So Under Siege 1.
MISS JULY!!!
Under Siege 2 was so bad that I remember it. Under Siege 1 was just meh and I don't remember anything about it.
Gary Bussey in drag? Sleepy Miss July and the cake? A wildly manic Tommy Lee Jones in one of the best roles of his life (and probably the same character as his Two Face). A chef who kills SEAL after SEAL and keeps saying he is worried about his pies?
You may need a CAT scan.
The concept is so cool, how could they mess it up?
Bring out the artillery!
i want to see how you use artillery to arrest someone
Same way the US police uses guns
I am sure i have seen in a cartoon somewhere how a big cannon is shooting a big net
The problem solved itself. He put himself under house arrest.
just weld the doors shut and put a "prison" sign
Wow, saying the cops lack jurisdiction because you claim your residence as a military establishment is certainly... well, it's a strategy.
Just surround the thing 24/7. They will run out of food eventually. Or just turn the power and water supply off, then it will only take a few days, maybe weeks if they have emergency rations.
Laying siege to the home of an ex president is very high up on my entertainment value list.
I vaguely remember them trying to pry Noriega out of a church after he lost power. I think playing heavy metal at super volume outside 24/7 eventually got him to leave, after all his bodyguards fucked off because they couldn't take it anymore.
Underrated dictator survival skills: be a metalhead.
Sniper report be like
I also want to see some siege towers rolling in and some catapults for good measure😊
Maybe if they build a large wooden badger....
Or maybe even a trebuchet!
Get your army guys off my side Kevin. Mom said this half of the room is mine.
They should wait until hes putting out the garbage. That's when I'm most vulnerable. Wearing nothing but a loose bathrobe. He'd have to go with them because of the "implications".
