drone flies off
Shit. They still haven't thought of the obvious solution.
Gator's with mounted guns. You're right!
No no, we need Velociraptors riding alligators and armed with laser cannons.
Frickin lasers on their heads!
Often we see people being demonised and dehumanized for political purposes. Americans basically dehumanize themselves.
As a parent I can't think of anything much more traumatic than losing a child to a gun massacre. It makes me furious. Watching Americans passively do nothing about this for decades has gone from infuriating to blame. I can't relate to them anymore.
I didn't make them sub-human by questioning their race or religion or politics. They made themselves sub-human by ignoring the most basic moral and ethical requirements of human society and family. Watching them kill each other won't bring me joy but it doesn't outrage me as much as watching people in war torn countries being massacred in conflicts over which they had no control.
This was a choice from a weak broken society.
Reminds me of the short film Slaughterbots from a while back. 7 years later and it doesn't seem all that much like fiction anymore...
that little film is scary as shit and was always destined to come true
Reminds me of the "well programmed" turrets outside the jail in Idiocracy, the ones that shoot each other...
And truancy!
Anything besides sensible gun control.
I see no possibility of this going wrong. /s
When they'll resort to deadly sky robots to "protect" children before they'll regulate who can have access to firearms...
Skynet for brown people
At a demonstration of the drones at AcadeMir Preparatory High School in South Miami-Dade, the company showed how the drones are capable of using what the company calls “kinetic energy hits” to knock someone over.
I can’t even with this shit 😝
Might be cheaper if you just gave each student a gun.
They walk to school, check all their bags for firearms (take any away that are brought in) ... then after the security check, they are given their own holstered small sidearm that they have to keep visually on them at all times during school hours. It has to stay visible to everyone at all times.
This reads like a MAGA wet dream.
OMG Joey doesn't have a gun!
20 students draw on him
The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is... An idiot with a drone?
I've been predicting that terrorist (aka conservatives in the US) will start using them from long range soon. I'm surprised that this didn't start happening sooner but I guess people of that disposition aren't very clever so it's taken a whole lot longer to catch on.
Armed with pepper balls
"Once airborne, they offer two-way communication through an embedded speakerphone. They also can break glass, make loud noises, fire nonlethal pepper-spray pellets or take other action within a minute as a first response to an incident. "
Thank god merica ha the right to bear arms against the tyranny. ... ... Any time now ... ... Someone.
Is the idea to stop a kid from killing their classmates by killing everyone before they get the chance?
theres some gnarly drones. like explosive drones that travel in groups of hundreds. theres nothing you can do when a sea of drones come at you endlessly.
I don't deal with children, is this sort of thing not a deal breaker for parents?
"Do you have and/or operate armed drones" has not been one of the questions I've thought to bring up at past PTA meetings.
