Fake!
This picture is a fake! You can see that because the shadow's are all wrong. It's probably a photoshop job.
This is just like in that movie Never Think Right, Barack Osama was erected president by a leftist conspiracy in A(me-f)rica. Osama started spreading the wealth around to his supporters in the "street". Chaos ensued, people had to go out on the "street" to fight their righteously earned property back.
Normal person - "That's my Wii, I bought it."
The other guy - "No! The Man is pushing me down!"

If you go to the corner and look back, the samurai ends up dead on the ground.
28. baskotoiea - January 27, 2009 2:17 PM

29. poodles - January 27, 2009 2:44 PM
wait a minute, yeah what the hell are those circles in the sky?!? that ish looks mad crazy nuts, its like God himself spilled his ink bottle on the clouds while paratroopers were fighting alien ships in the sky.
30. egohavoc - January 27, 2009 2:51 PM
The true explanation .http://www.streetwithaview.com/
"Members Askarus and Twolf of the medieval battle society Angaron (Pittsburgh’s local chapter of Dagorhir Battle Games) engaged in swordsmanship and hand-to-hand combat in a grassy “battle field” at the corner of Sampsonia Way and Federal Street."

@25
Maybe the magic goat caught your tongue.
... Or maybe I have it....
...can't remember...
*looking around*
32. Thumperchica - January 27, 2009 3:42 PM
It's GRAMMARNAZI and Formerly SPEELINGNAZI
33. Thumperchica - January 27, 2009 3:43 PM
f***! I hit send first... Let's try this again
It's GRAMMARNAZI and Formerly SPELLINGNAZI deciding once and for all who matters more in the written language...
34. Korri - January 27, 2009 3:44 PM
This is actually part of this http://www.streetwithaview.com/ its pretty cool
35. cyr3n - January 27, 2009 4:04 PM

What a shitty neighborhood.

@ 32/33: Hey!
Actually, I am in the pic...I'm in the upper right window of the Book Repository with a Sniper Rifle (sans iphone).
38. Matt - January 27, 2009 7:19 PM
It's in Pittsburgh....why am I not surprised?
39. Daisy (TRO) - January 27, 2009 7:26 PM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max finds out that he is one of the earth's few immortals who will battle each other to the death until there is only one.
40. Shenron);c~ - January 27, 2009 10:35 PM
I don't know who it is but I know there from Dagorhir and the one guy is wearing a Mirkwood mini tab...
HEY!
Moose Knuckle... do you know the man with the furry legs? or the girl with the leafy outfit? jw
I'm a MERC of the GTG forever!
41. jRad - January 27, 2009 11:45 PM
I'm not going to lie, when I clicked the link, I was saying "Please don't be in PA, please don't be in PA." Low and behold, it's in PA. I SERIOUSLY think one of the people in this photo is this kid I was friends with in High School and still have some contact with. I'll get to the bottom of this.
42. Blu - January 28, 2009 1:32 AM
I wonder if it's from a project called "street view"????
43. Thumperchica - January 28, 2009 8:44 AM
42- Actually it's a scene from the Blockbuster hit "Never Back Down". You can clearly tell by the Del Taco Logo in the lower right hand corner - advertising bacon cheese rolls of course- "streetwithaview" is simply a codename for an ongoing underground battle that erupted between the "FAKES" and "FIRSTS"...

45. Thumperchica - January 28, 2009 1:04 PM

46. Alric - January 28, 2009 2:09 PM
Egohavoc's right, this is Dagorhir, and those two guys, Askarus and Twolf, are both pretty cool people. We get together every Sunday afternoon (~2pm, sometimes later) at the Veterans Pavilion in Schenley Park. We're part of a national organization, Dagorhir, that recreates medieval and Tolkien-themed combat, and you might've just seen us on Discovery Channel if you watched Wreckreation Nation last week. We're not a larp - no magic spells or silly stuff like that. We're a bunch of friends who like to get together and beat on each other with medieval weapons, wearing medieval or fantasy garb, and having a blast.
Check out www.dagorhir.com and www.angaron.org for more information.
47. Olivia Reiter - January 28, 2009 5:54 PM
Haha! This is Dagorhir. Or Belegarth. A full contact foam fighting sport that's Fun as Hell. Check out www.Dagorhir.com.
Delightfully dorky.
48. Arocalex - January 28, 2009 6:48 PM

49. wow - January 29, 2009 7:30 AM

50. Jacobson - January 29, 2009 12:24 PM
@ the two before me, come on guys the splotches you see are water and flowers and such that have fallen on top of the google street views protective box/globe. Thus they are outta focus and recorded as being in the sky. THINK PLEASE =p

Just noticed, if you go to the Google maps view of this and rotate the camera up, it seems people are pretty fond of throwing shit ontop of the camera.
