Reminds me of this famous picture too:
I find it funny that they're either obviously staged or the photographer is standing in an awfully precarious location.
Belfast was an awfully precarious location when this was taken in 1987.
It looks just as absurd as the situation was. Here's a picture by Philip Jones Griffiths:

Beats raking, I guess
They look staged as fuck
Their ether? No; the guy has a rifle.
Swipe text typo fixed it.
