We did it Patrick! We saved the city!Criminals have invaded the schools in lego city!
Build the attack drones!
I can still hear her screams …
Ooo banana!
So uh… what stops someone just disabling all the drones first in a plausably deniable way? Because you know kids are gonna use those things as target practice already.
I just can’t tell these days.
I seriously read half the article before I realized it was real.
So a school shooter can defeat the drones with an army surplus gasmask …got it.
And some earplugs.
Anything but trying to solve the underlying problems. Bonus: someone makes bank.
I actually saw a news segment on the demo, and they said they would be thrilled if they were able to put these in every classroom and never have to use it. Im sure you would, buddy…
I suppose it is better than thoughts and prayers… but avoiding addressing the root cause is all politicians do.
Pray for your drone overlords to suicide bomb the mentally disturbed with too many guns before it’s too late!
Just waiting for the reports of privacy violations, and noise issues, let’s just hope that’s as bad as this gets.
There’s literally no number of children that can die before reasonable action is taken.
It’s not the number that matters, it’s whose kids it is getting killed. If someone were to shoot up a school filled with politicians’ kids you’ll see some change rapidly.
They sometimes are in normal schools, just under pseudonyms or not aiming for too much attention.
Doesn’t really change the fact that it’s more about whose child it is getting killed. They don’t care til it happens to them, the fucking GOP in a nutshell… Even then, significant change for the better is a crapshoot at best.
When a dude’s gettin’ bullied and shoots up his school
And they blame it on Marilyn and the heroin
Where were the parents at?
And look where it’s at
Middle America, now it’s a tragedy
Now it’s so sad to see
An upper-class city havin’ this happenin’…
🤔 maybe
Ya, I’m pretty skeptical too. Maybe we should try and see for sure.
but its less likely to happen since private schools tend to be in wealthy areas, and is probably gated up. and PRIVATE school admins/rich parents are very quick to get rid of “problem students” aka “quiet dismissal but not outright expulsion”, a public schools wont do that, unless it becomes serious. i was in a sub about youtube channels owner(used to follow who sent thier kid to a private school, he was forced to leave because he was displaying aggressive behaviour from seizure meds, and the school was pressuring/ostracizing the students to leave the school, last i heard the kid sits at home and does nothing.)

I grew up in a racist environment and parroted what was around me most of my young life. It’s all I knew, I didn’t change until I experienced the world and broadened my world view. Many of these “bigots” are ignorant and exploited. They are not evil people that should be eliminated. Your way of intolerance is the same type of ignorance you claim to hate. Dehumanizing any person or group as below you and therefore justify violence against is the worse part of society and the thing that needs to be cured. Racism is just one facet of that beast.
First - you are right.
Second - questioning dogma is always virtuous, even if the dogma is “people of race A are not worse or better than people of race B”, the fact of questioning itself doesn’t cause anything bad, while banning that from being questioned also bans the similar or associated statements, and similarity\associations are subjective.
Third - the reason our world is in such shit is that it became commonly shunned to question authority and normalized to fear authority. Because common set of moral principles is authority too. Where in 1960s (segregation and much more liberal gun laws in places like USA, no voting rights for women in places like Switzerland, former Nazis everywhere feeling nice and joking about it in public in places like Germany, literal colonial wars, normalized racism and so on) it was normal, at least in books and movies, to question any person, in suit or not, demanding anything from you, and asking for some legal substantiation. Even in the bloody USSR. In our days in TV and books and imagined universes and in reality asking “why should I do that” is treated as a mutiny.
We live in a world where it’s forbidden to ask “by which right”.
At least in societies pretending to be civilized this was considered a thing of the past after WWII. Not that it didn’t exist. Now it’s normal, people look at you with hostility for saying the obvious about preemptive obedience and such.

What do racist have to do with school shootings?

Clearly, you’re not from this planet…we’re going through a shitty period right now
looks at crime stats / looks at quantity and scale of wars / looks at quality of sanitation
Naw, we have it pretty damn good compared compared to basically all of history.
Certainly doesn’t mean we shouldn’t strive to continue to improve.

Texas is Alabama levels of stupid, but because they have money no one ever makes that connection.
Though I loathe their governor, Alabama has turned things around in recent years. Birmingham is an utter shithole, but the rural bits are the nicest I’ve ever encountered. Hitting the Mississippi border from there feels like you went from a quaint little countrified state into the 3rd world.
Texas actually seems to be going backwards, slowly, but backwards.
I feel like Alabama is gunning to be a Dollar Store Florida. Excellent for retirees, good for sports ball, pretty much shit for everyone else.
So I guess that would make Texas something akin to Bucees - bigger, still a bit shit compared to other large competitors, and ideal for some real weird people watching.
And the moment one of these gets hacked and mows down some kids….?
I just hope your constitution protects drone rights.
The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a drone swarm is a good guy with a drone swarm.
Murrka yippekayeee mothafucka or something like that (never been on that continent).
And drones should have the right to bear arms.
I dunno, the right to bear one arm releasing a grenade is honestly enough
How long until the Manhacks are flying around?
I can hear this image.
Fantastic sound design!
When I was a kid I used to joke about school being a prison.
This was back when doors weren’t locked during the day and when a friend of mine took a joke hand grenade to school it was confiscated and he was told to pick it up at the end of the day and don’t do that again.
Schools have been asymptotically approaching prisons to the point where they will be indistinguishable in the near future.
My school was the same thing as a prison since it was sped ed back in 2005, public schools had it lucky.
Agreed. Fuck this shit.
My kids’ school is surrounded by a giant chain link fence.
Solve societal.problems leading to higher levels of violence? Nah, let’s just lock the kids up during the day - it’s for their own protection.
Something is very fucking wrong with people who want to solve our problems this way. Don’t let them pretend this is normal or how this shit should he handled. What the fuck are we doing?

It’s just psychology.
Suppose you are a bunch of pedophiles and murderers making laws.
You don’t want the societal mechanisms against pedophiles and murderers to reach you, but the society has a desire to do to p/ and m/ or against them a certain set of things. So they optimize by doing those things to the opposite part of the society.
The society would want to know what politicians do - they make surveillance against everyone but themselves.
The society would want to thoroughly deal with the pedo problem, preferably IRL where it happens - they direct everything connected to fighting pedos on the communications and the Internet.
The society would want accountability for hierarchy and fewer levers for pressure given to people in important positions, - they make the mandates as fuzzy as possible and create limitations for doing anything outside of hierarchy.
The society would want children to not be taught to obey and fear, and everyone to have privacy, because only in privacy you can say everything you’d want, - they try to turn everything into a surveilled prison camp.
The society would want to be able to answer violence with violence, - they make draconian laws against all kinds of resistance.
The society would want legal clarity, - they try to reduce clarity as much as possible.
It’s basically a bunch of people who should be in jail trying to put in jail everyone else purely out of spite. Who are criminals by too many laws, trying to make legal practice as unpredictable and illogical as possible.
Not a new thing really, like people involved in drugs trade getting into institutions for fighting drugs trade.
I thought Texas didn’t care about school children. CoughUvaldeCough
Dunno about you but i’ve seen robocop
Some people take dystopian sci-fi as a guide and not as a warning.
A bunch of little flying ED-209s, what could go wrong?
What a shithole country.
