I predict the first kid to get pepper-sprayed will be Black.
Not even Polymarket is taking those bets
That’s the most American “solution” to the most American of problems.
It’s missing a gun though.
Give it time
So they just need to wear non-vented goggles and a filtered mask. Now they have easy targets who are blinded by the pepper spray to which they are immune.
Or they could just shoot the drone.
Why? It’s incapacitated the potential targets. Let the drone shoot, the shooter need not worry if they are immune to it’s effects.
Little Billy took a wrong turn, though. He slipped on the spray that settled on the ground. The ambient spray in the air has drifted into his eyes. Now he can’t see, doesn’t know which way to crawl. His panic and pain will be short lived, as the shooter no longer needs to aim, as his target is unable to flee.
Anything but gun regulation
If it was needed founders would have passed a right to a childhood
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 gas mask, 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.
Everything but regulate guns
Actually restricting guns for the plebs is impossible in the US. The right to bear arms is literally in the constitution. And when looking at the (pretty damn short, but it does exist) history, it makes perfect sense (even though it doesn’t actually work to keep the government honest and the feared British revenge war never happened).
What would be possible even in the US would be making it less likely that the abundant guns (which just ain’t going away anytime soon) are used by people with serious mental problems - by reducing the likelihood of serious mental problems to happen.
You need a village to raise a kid.even though it doesn’t actually work
well that’s it
and reducing mental health issues is great but does not contribute directly to the issue
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.
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?”
Depends on the state. The Florida Mindset is not a universal one.
I thought this was the onion
Just wait until the school nerd learns to hack them and sends them after the school bully quarterback.
The lengths we’ll go to not do gun control.
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.
Wow, that’s insane.
I can’t think of anything more American than weapon-carrying drones being deployed to combat armed attackers in schools.
They need a points system.
And Flock cameras so people can bet.
Cool, so some fucker from thousands of miles away can control a drone with “less” lethal rounds and explosions. What could possibly go wrong!?
