Can’t imagine what could possibly go wrong with this idea.
Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure ass shit
Everything except getting rid of guns.
What a rotten shithole of a country.
The only way you’re going to get rid of billions of guns is if you have a magic genie or a monkey paw.
If our country actually cared and was a force of good and peace, we would have a long-term plan for things like buyback as well as strict regulations and MAYBE in a hundred years we would be gun-free for the most part, but the guns are only half the problem.
The problem is the lack of community and the atomization of our feelings and perspectives. People don’t shoot up schools when they feel loved, connected and unafraid of their future. When people have something to live for, they want to help each other see that future.
That’s the rotten part, that’s where our country is dying. We drank too deep of the well of “rugged individualism” and now everyone is wandering around like it’s a video game and NPC’s don’t deserve second thought.
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…
that little film is scary as shit and was always destined to come true
Reminds me of the “well programmed” turrets outside the jail in Idiocracy, the ones that shoot each other…
This is so much better than passing common sense gun laws.
And cheaper! /s
A crude emp pulse generator is very easy to make. You could probably do it with just the junk tech everyone has around at this point. Battery, wire, switch, maybe a metal bar. Think a capacitor is the only real thing most people can’t just throw together. I mean you could but it takes a little skill.
A drone that size carrying only a go-pro has a battery life of only a few minutes. With all the shit this company glued to it I’m sure the shooter just has to close a door and count to 100 and the thing will fall out of the air.
Of course the password to the school’s drone control system was just “admin1234”
Once the drones are taken over by child-shooter hackers, ICBM launches against random schools will be used as a deterrent. Failing that all schools will be closed and the problem with “school shootings” will finally be solved! /s
You jest, but remember that the Dept of Education has been EO’d almost out of existence, currently run by Vince McMahon’s wife who is a staunch supporter of “school choice” and charter schools. These are the easiest way to re-segregate schools, put the curriculum back in the hands of moneyed interests, and defund public education.
The trend will be that public schools will have all the kids who are economically disadvantaged, disaffected, badly taught, and unable to be helped by teachers and faculty who are underpaid, understaffed, and hobbled by bad policy, the more school shootings will become a problem that doesn’t affect a certain segment of society. Any parents who can, will pull their kids from failing public schools and pay more to have their kids attend other schools, or even homeschool. The fewer kids the public schools have, the more budget cuts will be authorised.
All public schools will ultimately be shuttered, under this plan. School shootings will keep happening of course, but once it only affects rich white kids, it will finally be taken seriously, at least.
Anything besides sensible gun control.
“Our drones can create a distraction.” Yeah, from gun control.
At a demonstration of the drones at AcadeMir Preparatory High School in South Miami-Dade, the company showed how the drones are capable of using what the company calls “kinetic energy hits” to knock someone over.
I can’t even with this shit 😝
Is the idea to stop a kid from killing their classmates by killing everyone before they get the chance?
Yep, these definitely won’t get hacked
Damn, even school shooters get to work from home now.
Why get your hands bloody assaulting a school yourself, when you can get a job at the drone control centre and mow down a bunch of kids from two cities away?
Betting there’s a contest for it at Defcon 2026
Then those coward pigs can finally do something while they’re hiding. And probably make more victims
I think this seems ridiculous, but there is a genuine problem that isn’t being solved in better ways, and a police force who refuse to enter a school under an active threat until it’s too late. I guess something is better than nothing?
Sorry, I respectfully disagree.
Too often the “something” which may in some ways be better than nothing, is used as a token solution to soothe the requests of activists.
For example, banning single use plastics really grinds my gears. People feel like they’ve made a sacrifice, so they must have achieved something. However, everything at the supermarket is still sold in plastic packaging?
As in, its not “bad” that we no longer use single use plastics, but its not worthy of being called progress.
Like on a scale of 1 to 10 for plastic reduction efforts, 10 being “no additional plastic” we’re about minus 30. Without this measure we might have been minus 30.2.
