School shooters respond by using attack drones.
In 5 years we can automate school shootings and put real shooters out of a job.
Wow, that’s insane.
Some bored kid in robotics class is gonna hack a drone and spray a bunch unsuspecting classmates one day.
What could go wrong?
How long til they’re deployed on rowdy students?
I came here to say this.
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.
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!
Didn’t you read the article? Clearly they are…they had some self-control, and fitted the drones with less-lethals instead.
You want them to strap it with an AR or something?
Arm then with real munitions you cowards!
How does one “install” a drone?
Installing one imo would be a fiber optic fixed pathway
Ask yer mum.
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.
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.
I thought this was the onion
Are they bulletproof?
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?”
