quote:
'We stopped the tour bus approx 50 metres from the restricted area barriers and started to film. 'There was no one around, no guards, no vehicles - nothing. 'We filmed for approximately 30 minutes and tried to call the guards but there was no one there and no sign of them. 'So we all decided to walk past the barriers onto the restricted area past the security huts and basically onto Area 51. Nothing happened....' He continued: 'We filmed again for another 30 minutes and even messed around doing a silly dance, but still no guards. 'Then one of the other stars of the trip pointed out that on looking through one of the security hut windows, she could see the guards all sitting down eating dinner and watching the basketball game on TV. They did nothing. 'So after a few more minutes and a few more picture taking and filming, one of the crew decided to speak to the guards and knocked on their hut door. All hell broke loose.'

I love how they talk about people that are hardcore alien conspiracy theorists and kinda talk like the alien shite is real, but then link the alien autopsy video at the bottom, which has long since been proven a hoax.

They are so lucky they are all alive right now. I remember hearing that if anyone got too close to that place that they could be shot on sight. That seems even closer.

Wouldn't that be a violation of the 5th amendment? Oh right, our government doesn't care about that pesky thing called the constitution.

You know I've read the OT for too long when I read BBC and big black cock. I thought they were filming some film about a huge dicked alien invading some poor girl's vag. Actually...

Yeah, I cringe every time I see that video. It pops up occasionally. Sometimes it's mentioned as a fraud, sometimes not.

That is part of the clause related to the right to a grand jury, and it is in there so that the UCMJ is lawful. It does not apply to the subsequent clause about depriving a person of life without due process.

It could be argued the other way... what if they were spies trespassing on a military base looking for information that could put the public at danger?

Apparently , b/c you missed my sarcasm there cupcake...An armed military gaurd "If" they were to shoot at you ...it would be to kill ... Though I'm sure this could be argued till we're blue in the face no doubt...The safest thing would be to not find out if some idiots rights are getting violated...when they are somewhere they shouldn't be...

See my previous comment. You are misreading the 5th amendment. Don't think of it as one guarantee right. It should be viewed as a list of semi-related guaranteed rights: -Grand jury -Double Jeopardy -Self-Incrimination -Due Process -Eminent Domain -etc

Only Wiki could turn an Area 51 thread into a debate about the 5th amendment
