This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Beginning to normalize armed drones starting in schools. All part of the police state agenda. Do not fear citizen, we see everything.
Schools were scary enough when they had a permanent paramilitary occupation (police) now it's going to be downright dangerous to go to one of those prisons
The lengths we'll go to not do gun control.
Yes, this is obviously the best way to solve the problem
In 5 years we can automate school shootings and put real shooters out of a job.
Some bored kid in robotics class is gonna hack a drone and spray a bunch unsuspecting classmates one day.
Exactly this! My son tried to print a picture of a fire alarm from his school Chromebook and some how sent the print job to every single printer in the building. The IT department had absolutely no idea how he was able to do it, because only teachers are supposed to be able to connect to the printers. Now imagine that with drones filled with pepper spray.
What could go wrong?
How long til they're deployed on rowdy students?
That's probably the point. If they do a walk out for Palestine or something you send in the drones to attack them. Blame it on a computer glitch and if all else fails blame it on woke. They're banning phones at school so that no one will be able to record footage of it happening and so that they can make the school security camera footage just disappear
When I was in school is was not uncommon for some asshole to mace a hallway right before class was dismissed. Really it would just be carrying on a long standing tradition.
I came here to say this.
School shooters respond by using attack drones.
so now the kids will have to run and hide while blind and in pain
And school shooters will need gas masks. Stupid fucking solution.
☝🏻 Modern NBC Honeywell filters aren't cheap. I know, I looked into modifying a surplus skin tight Russian one, first term Trump. If I survived a nuclear blast I'd still hope to be able to breathe was the point.
Either way, it gets costly because once you open that filter, you better be ready to use it, kind of thing, meaning they start to degrade once you open one. So, it's not the masks really that get ya, it's the price of the filters.
Wow, that's insane.
Anything but gun regulation
If it was needed founders would have passed a right to a childhood
Nation of psychopaths. Just control guns FFS.
Are you crazy? Who will shoot the guns then??
won't somebody PLEASE think of the NRA!
I'm sure this won't be abused at allllll.
It's not going to get used at all. They'll sit in their pods, collecting dust and by the time they get activated, if ever, the batteries will be dead, the control software will have bad update or version mismatch, or the nozzles will be clogged.
(I’m not a US citizen; I believe guns should be controlled and there’s no reason for a citizen to own a gun)
Don’t US school run shooter exercises? Darwin, even here in the UK where I live, the secondary school (12-16) ran twice yearly active shooter exercises - although they called them something else, like “lockdown exercise” and we’ve only ever had one school shooting (1996).
My point being that surely any exercise would train the whole response system, including pepper spray drones (still can’t quite believe I’m typing this - anything to avoid actual gun control, I guess)?
It'll require a sideloaded android app and they'll have to wait 24 hours to use it.
Fucking LOL.
Let's make school shootings even more confusing by making sure both victims and shooter(s) are all grouped together on the ground screaming about the waeaponized capsacin in their eyes.
Cops in Texas are going to have to explain why they mowed down multiple innocents simply because they couldn't figure out who the shooter was in a sea of kids screaming about getting pepper sprayed after almost getting shot.
This will not end well. It will end with more dead kids not less.
How does one "install" a drone?
Installing one imo would be a fiber optic fixed pathway
I thought this was the onion
At this point the onion is more grounded in reality than American politics.
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?"
Depends on the state. The Florida Mindset is not a universal one.
This well be used on students. Mark my words.
Fight between two students? Better pepper spray everyone on the corredor and send the asmatic kid to the hospital
That’s the most American “solution” to the most American of problems.
I predict the first kid to get pepper-sprayed will be Black.
you’re not wrong.
in a more comical scenario, i predict that a programming club will get expelled for using their flipper zero to take control of the pepper spraying drone.
I can't think of anything more American than weapon-carrying drones being deployed to combat armed attackers in schools.
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.
Anything but regulate guns, making mental health ressources more accessible or punish bullying.
This normalizes policing by machines, controlled by faceless people who will be shielded against consequences just like cops are shielded now. Drones don't have a face, a name or an personell number. If something happens (and it will), you can't even point your finger on the guilty party anymore. It also shields those controllers from any social backlash they would get if they would hurt someone in person.
Arm then with real munitions you cowards!
