    Wait, these fucking idiots were shooting live heavy artillery over fucking Interstate 5? One of North America’s biggest and most important arteries.

    And they wanted to do that without closing the roadway down?

    Jesus Christ. This is an administration of complete idiots.

        Did you read the article?

        The New York Times reported that fragments that fell from the 155mm shell landed on vehicles parked on a ramp on Interstate 5 – a major artery through southern California – which governor Gavin Newsom had ordered closed after learning that military officials had no plans to close the freeway.

      I genuienly think this was not really a mishap, it was literally intended as an intimidating show of force against SoCal.

        Got it in one, and literally what I was saying since this plan was announced. This is military parades all over again - “see this shit? It can literally be in your front yard if you keep up”.
