How long before they use drones for crowd control |
|
When they started using drones in Afghanistan and Iraq, I knew it was just a matter of time before they used them domestically.
Now they are supposedly patrolling the borders using them.
How long before they are used for:
1) riots 2) protests (which will be called 'riots') 3) Chasing suspects 4) Patrolling "drug infested" neighborhoods 5) Whatever their demented facist minds can dream up

1. They're very expensive, but they can attach funding for that |
|
as a billion dollars in a $425 billion military appropriation, and almost every Senator will vote for the bill to prove he or she is pro-military.

3. Probably in about 2 weeks. |

I have a feeling that their paranoia is going to drive them to take extreme measures in NYC.
I really hope it doesn't happen though.

5. Likely your next job interview |

Sir, it has come to our attention from sources we cannot disclose at the government, that you once wrote "*" on the internet.
We have worked hard to enslave our employees at this firm, and cannot tolerate anyone who says "*", as it will create terrorism, when the slaves revolt.
In short, you are qualified, but free speech has responsibility, and you will never find work in this state, as we've already rung up all the companies in our field to warn them about you.
Of course they'll be using drones and missiles on crowds, just because they "can", and because it is an ideal weapon to terrorise people.... yes. The republicans ARE terrorists. That is what they thrive on, and if they disagree, surely terror is their next step as civility, truth and community were sidelined by those wankers long ago.
