Anyone legitimately interested in the Bosnian war and the other conflicts of former Yugoslavia I heartily recommend to watch the BBC documentary series "The Death of Yugoslavia".

It's pretty wild because it was made in te 90's (before the Kosovo war even) and as such all the main players are in it and they talk quite candidly about all the war crimes they committed. (Including for example Milosevic and the Bosnian Croat guy who poisoned himself in The Hague a while back.)

Here's the first part (there are six):

people can work for companies that have done lovely things. as a matter of fact, it's nearly impossible to find a job at a company that has never done a lovely thing. talking about how this dude was satan incarnate because of the name of the company he worked for is the exact same take as "but the DEMOCRATS supported slavery in 1864". not saying the pinks are good but dude is just a working class security guard, he's not some secret fascist.

doloff acted appropriately. he was security for the press. someone battered and assaulted one of the people he was hired to guard. he intervened, as he should. in return he was battered by an armed assailant, who then further battered him with chemical agents while simultaneously reaching his left arm across his body towards the gun under his right arm. doloff quickly reacted because if he didn't, he was going to be disabled by said pepper spray and probably shot himself. there is no jury in the world that would convict doloff under those facts.

guns never make a situation better. they loving suck. if i had been armed when the guy pulled a gun on me at the protest, someone would have been shot and killed. assaulting and battering armed security and their charges while you have a gun on you, though, is the textbook definition of 'play stupid games and win stupid prizes.'

i've personally been trained as a sentry. doloff did everything that we were taught as well. if i was an armed watchstander on the quarterdeck of my ship and someone with a gun on him came up, slapped another watch stander and then started pepper spraying everyone, i would have been justified in using deadly force.

this poo poo is the harsh reality of living in a heavily armed nation. it loving sucks, but this is the world we're in.

No jury's going to get an opportunity to convict him because he's going to be extrajudicially killed in some fashion.

Nah it's some company that only sells webcams, everything from $13.99 zoom tier "oh god i need a camera" snap ons to $300 industrial process cameras shooting at 2.5k and 60fps

Here's the one I got. It's pretty neat. Solid aluminum housing and lens, and the zoom/focus knobs screw in to lock your settings.
