This feels like the obvious lead-up to an airliner being shot down

[–] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 67 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It feels like foreshadowing so strong if I saw it in a movie I’d be like “Okay we get it”

Right? Like clips of the drone hysteria + this guy advocating for cops to be given SAMs would be playing during the opening credits

They'll blame it on Canada-backed rebels from the People's Republic of Vermont.

oops. Wrong war

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 28 points 2 days ago

They're going to try and blame it on Russian Irano-Chinese MS-13 terrorists though. The fake evidence will be ridiculously amateurish and every mainstream media outlet will eat it up uncritically.

These chuds will 100% shoot down a commercial airliner in its descent for landing aren't they? pain

This is going to lead to the first disaster(s) where measuring it in units of 9/11 actually does make sense

To distract us from the cool health insurance news

[–] RustyVenture@hexbear.net 38 points 2 days ago

Every year requires a hysterical story about UAVs from Bad Country or else we’ll be relegated to using whatever remaining brain cells that weren’t killed by microplastics and repeat covid infections to consider what a colossally deplorable nation we are trapped in.

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 43 points 2 days ago

This is what happens when your government and media covers the asses of themselves and the asses of the owner class until institutional legitimacy is completely obliterated.

You have a guy in the government the very government that odds are knows exactly what these are but legitimacy has been so ravaged by everything from the Iraq wars to covid to epstein to the fake outrage at the dead CEO that he thinks giving a missile to Officer Trucknuts is a solution because he represents some kind of authority that is atomized out and isn't part of the larger untrustworthy authority.

Like they are grasping at straws of legitimacy here. Appealing to God knows what shred of structure left.

Oh boy I can't wait to get hit in the shoulder by a 9mm hollow point from 2 miles away that Officer Chud Donut shot at a 747!

when I am elected Senator-Mayor of Nude Jersey, I will empower and HEAVILY arm all law enforcement officers to fire upon all drones and reptilian subterranoids on the ground that merely look like other law enforcement officers.

I suppose making NYC a no-fly zone is one way to prevent a 9/11 from ever happening again.

Doesn't the NYPD have AA weapons? yikes-1yikes-2yikes-3

[–] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 28 points 2 days ago

Possibly? Probably? Best I could find was a couple articles from 2011 mentioning a .50 rifle, the mayor being coy about further capabilities, and one mentioning a rumour that the secret service has/had a stinger missile in NYC

Going with the assumption the dumbest/worse thing will happen:

Cops shoot down an airliner, are granted qualified immunity after proving they were afraid it was a Communist Chinese Iranian drone coming right for them (it was flying away). It soon becomes accepted a certain number of flights will be shot down as the "cost of freedom". A new airline life insurance "industry" pops up selling shoot down insurance at the gate. Swathes of the country are de-facto no-fly zones enforced by various county sheriffs with patriot batteries.

Americans sigh and buy plane tickets anyway. After all, freedom isn't free

Obviously they KNOW who is operating the drones. They refuse to tell because it's cLASSified janet-wink

Yet keep perpetuating this psyop for increased police budgets and militarization. Just come out with the mundane truth ya dorks!
