Thu Mar 7, 2013, 08:28 PM Stinky The Clown (50,378 posts) Why the furor over drones? Even weaponized drones? They're no different than police helicopters, or police assault rifles. Or any other weapon the government uses against citizens. There are rules that govern their use. I think the term is "due process". A government official can follow due process - or not - and order one of us dead. What difference does the weapon or the weapon platform make? I realize there is some mistrust of government. Greater or lesser degrees, for sure. Given the shitstorm that would follow a domestic drone strike on a US citizen, I think we have other weapons to be more worried about. It seems to me its not about the government owned weapon. It is about the order to use it.

I reject your *justifications*.Last edited Wed Mar 13, 2013, 01:46 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1)The fact is, process-less assassination of American citizens is greatly facilitated by the use of armed drones. To say that the drones are not the point misses the point--our political process does not and will not protect us from abuses of power. Therefore, any deflection of the attention on these drones is apologia, imo. Hope you didn't miss MY point.
There is a simple reason the DUmmies are in an uproar over the expanded domestic use of drones.Use of drones by law enforcement will inevitably cause an increase in the price of weed.
Which will cause more of the DUmmies to starve as they won't be able to afford Cheetos.
And the down side???.....
