Krauthammer: First to Take Down a Domestic Drone will be a FOLK HERO

[presence]

Charles Krauthammer:

“I would predict the first guy who uses a second amendment weapon to bring a drone down who is hovering over his house will become a folk hero"

He goes on to say it would take a bazooka... but I'm inclined to say, all it takes is a 15 year old hacker.

Judge Napolitano:

I want to give a shout out to Charles Krauthammer:

First American Patriot that shoots down one of these drones that comes too close to his children in his back yard will be an American Hero.

Get a search warrant from a Judge, that's what the Constitution says.

The news would be worth watching.

I can hear the voice of Bill O'Reilly now:

"Look. We all don't like the idea of being spied upon. America is nation, where privacy has traditionally been held highly as right. Nevertheless, the actions of Cleetus Henry was not a patriotic act. His double barreled shotgun has cost the taxpayer a large sum of money, threatened our national security, and resulted in the contamination an entire herd of cattle. He should not of been a romphelstomper, and that is your word of the day."

LOLz. And he'll be a Chinese exchange student.

Drones are unmanned, you think violence against terminators is a Hot Topic? What a crazy world...

Lol word for word perfect.

Care to explain why?

Neo-conservatives like Krauthammer call for violence all day long, not surprising. Eventually the neo-conservatives will become just as anti-America as they are anti-Iran right now. It's just a matter of when (they lose control).

IMO they've always been anti American.

When we think of drones, we often think of Predators and such. But keep in mind that a lot of the drones proposed for use by the pigs in the US are scarcely more than rinky-dink toys. I've seen a few demonstration videos, and I was (thankfully) not impressed. Most were little more than very expensive RC planes or helicopters with visible and thermal cameras attached. These could be easily shot down with a rifle, at least while hovering or moving slowly. Also note that they are generally very loud (in the videos they sound like lawnmowers), so you'll probably know when one is around.

The smaller drones of the sort likely to be used by US police departments have been used in the Iraq conflict, and some have most definitely been shot down with rifle fire. It's also possible that someone will figure out a way to disable low-flying drones electromagnetically.

Drones are a threat, but this is mainly due to their greater ease of deployment and lesser expense in comparison with helicopters. They still need to be piloted (or at least monitored) by a person, and that person will have a very boring job unless the drone is deployed for a specific purpose (much as is usually the case with a police helicopter). So there seems to be a silver lining here: in the final analysis, drones might only pose a slightly greater risk to our privacy than manned helicopters. Hopefully I'm not being overly optimistic.

Did Krauthammer seriously say that? /looks outside for flying pigs

Krauthammer is an idiot. but he was handed the right script on this.

And it is not a "left" side of the issue.
Beyond that,, the subject matter makes me .

While I would like to think some light is filtering through to Krauthammer, the broken clock may be the better analogy.

haha, this post is so spot on. It makes me wonder if victor grey is bill oreilly hehe

 

[Root]

The 1st citizen to take down a drone will most likely become indefinitely detained.

That's after they kill your dogs and maybe your wife.

 

[whippoorwill]

Indeed.

What does the guy get that blows the whistle on how drones came to be used against the citizenry of the U.S.?

Yeah. But the government has already announced that Predator type drones will be used to spy on the U.S. (Excuse me. They will be "allowed to let their cameras run until they are wiped 3 months later").

Anyway, I think the best answer to this is.....build your own drones.
