The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a drone is a good guy with a drone.
I'm not surprised. The only thing we're good at in this country is making weapons.
That's a bald faced lie. We're also good at producing food with a lot of calories and no nutritional value.

Hacks drone, oops. Let's stick with metal detectors and guards
My gut says when you have to say you are "the good guy" you are in fact "the bad guy."
Make it make sense. "OH. What's that? You have pneumonia? Here's a bit of cough medicine!" Like brother... that doesn't fucking help shit....
Honestly there are aspects about this that I like. In the vein of bomb defusal robots being obviously good. But with, you know, current politics and our chronic issues, it just feels sinister.
I think we know what the next step is here. Mass shooters start using armed drones.
Innocent children will die to trigger happy drone cops. It's going to be a remote controlled Uvalde.
I guess good since cops would rather all the children be shot than face a threat.
I'm so glad I'm not a young person in school
Gen Alpha is screwed even more than gen Z
