Drones

Yeah, won't it be fun when 500 fans in a football stadium
each launch their personal micro's and fly into the huddle, etc., etc.,
... the potentials are enormous.

They'll all get Christmas cards from Bill Belachek though.

This video is titled "Firefighters shoot douchebag's interfering drone out of the air", when what it should say is "Douchebag firefighters shoot douchebag's not quite interfering drone out of the air".

I mean, it's not even close to interfering with those firefighters, unless those firefighters are doing something they don't want caught on video.

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't necessarily want someone videoing my burning house. It's a little insensitive, at best. But I could see a usefulness in documenting the work of the firefighters, or the progression of the fire itself, or the condition of parts of the house immediately prior to destruction by fire, and for legal/insurance purposes.

But, to stop fighting the fire, to knock a NON-interfering drone, that looks to be 75-100 feet away, out of the air only raises my suspicions as to what they didn't want caught on video.

power corrupts.

Firefighters have power at the scene of a fire. They saw the drone and decided they had the power to take it out, so they did.

The problem is... One of the problems is with new high tech toys, the early adopters are often type A personalities who go gung ho with little regard to whether they annoy others. Since in this case we often don't know who the ~~perp~~ operator is, this builds resentment against the toys, and everyone who uses them.

However, if you buzz me, regardless of federal law, I'll blow that motherfucker to hell.

ditto. I have no patience for this kind of personal invasion. What's the recommended shot for a 12 gauge?
