The US is such a backwards place.
Guy 1: “Uhhh, too many people are shooting up schools with guns. What can we do about that?”
Guy 2: “I know a guy who knows a guy who can make a drone that shoots pepperballs. We can also install bulletproof doors that lock from the inside and get some armed guards to patrol the kindergarden.”
Guy 3: “What if we enact some reasonable gun laws?”
Guy 1 and 2: “Ba-ha-ha-ha. Fuck off, commie. Jesus gave all’ya’all these guns. Why do you hate Jesus?”
This well be used on students. Mark my words.
You know how conservatives yell about protecting the children? HEY MOTHERFUCKERS, KIDS NEED A SAFE ENVIRONMENT TO LEARN AND JUST BE WITHOUT GODDAMN ARMED DRONES FLYING AROUND THE HALLS OF THEIR SCHOOLS. THAT SHIT IS PERVERSE AND WEIRD. WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE THINKING? IS NOTHING SACRED? LEAVE THE FUCKIN CHILDREN ALONE.
I can’t think of anything more American than weapon-carrying drones being deployed to combat armed attackers in schools.
Face shields cost only a few bucks. I don’t think this achieves anything.
Pepper spray, especially fog-applied, is going to get around that.
Could it get around safety goggles as well?
Like the kind you wear in a lab?
No, those are purpose-built to keep airborne contaminants out.
And those drones will be controlled by ChatGPT/Grok.
That’s the most American “solution” to the most American of problems.
It’s missing a gun though.
Just wait until the school nerd learns to hack them and sends them after the school bully quarterback.
That kid is getting scouted by the US military by end of day.
Ah the ol’ lucrative Hacker-Convict-Security Consultant pipeline.
I love it! Nothing like a backpack or a stick from outside to knock that to the ground…
Everything but regulate guns
So they just need to wear non-vented goggles and a filtered mask. Now they have easy targets who are blinded by the pepper spray to which they are immune.
Or they could just shoot the drone.
Why? It’s incapacitated the potential targets. Let the drone shoot, the shooter need not worry if they are immune to it’s effects.
Little Billy took a wrong turn, though. He slipped on the spray that settled on the ground. The ambient spray in the air has drifted into his eyes. Now he can’t see, doesn’t know which way to crawl. His panic and pain will be short lived, as the shooter no longer needs to aim, as his target is unable to flee.
Uh, FUCK THAT? Maybe?
Cool, so some fucker from thousands of miles away can control a drone with “less” lethal rounds and explosions. What could possibly go wrong!?
And also it normalizes seeing drones on school property.
I’ve said it a thousand times now. Someone is going to 3d print a fully functional drone with low tracibility, slap explosives on it and use it to do a Boston Bombing/Columbine style terrorist attack.
What the hell are they gonna do then? This worlds fucked.
I’m sure the dead kids with asthma will be grateful
