And that’s basically it!
Snort idea. Get there fast and get them down. If, as the article says, the most deaths happen in the first 120 seconds, then time is of the essence to stop them as quickly as possible.
Then again, they could just start feeding people properly and make guns harder to get. But since those are apparently not an option, I guess this is a "best of a bad situation" kind of deal.
Snort idea.
Nailed it! Anyone have more cocaine?
Gotta admit, I have no idea how that one happened.
Autocorrect? Feels like I’ve been drafted this iOS beta cycle.
I can’t possibly be the best choice to train their new AI. I failed every English class but one.
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.

drone flies off
"Our drones can create a distraction." Yeah, from gun control.
Shit. They still haven't thought of the obvious solution.
I see no possibility of this going wrong. /s
Anything besides sensible gun control.
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...
Can't concentrate with all the humming and weird pop noises!
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.
When they'll resort to deadly sky robots to "protect" children before they'll regulate who can have access to firearms...
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.
