Drones Shot Down Over Texas

Surveillance drones blasted out of the sky in protest against 4th amendment intrusion

Following columnist Charles Krauthammer’s observation that the first person to shoot down a surveillance drone on U.S. soil will be a “folk hero,” gun enthusiasts in Texas have done precisely that as a protest against the use of spy drones on the American people.



Using consumer drones as target practice, Alex Jones and the Steiner brothers tested out the best way to bring down the drones on the 10,000 acre Steiner ranch as part of filming for Brothers in Arms, a new show which focuses on firearms and the second amendment.

With spy drones now commercially available for less than $1,000 dollars that are barely any different from the ones being used by police departments to spy on the public, Jones and the Steiners made short work of the devices during filming.

This was an exercise in pushing the message that the use of surveillance drones in U.S. skies must be politically shot down because it represents a complete violation of the 4th amendment right to privacy.

Congress recently passed legislation paving the way for what the FAA predicts will be somewhere in the region of 30,000 drones in operation in US skies by 2020.

Privacy advocates have warned that the FAA has not acted to establish any safeguards whatsoever, and that lawmakers are not holding the agency to account.

In addition, a recently uncovered Air Force document circumvents laws and clears the way for the Pentagon to use drones to monitor the activities of Americans.

Incidents involving the drones in recent months have hardly provided positive spin for the industry, which is why Americans are set to witness a massive PR campaign that will “bombard the American public with positive images and messages about drones in an effort to reverse the growing perception of the aircraft as a threat to privacy and safety.”

Earlier this month, a mystery object, thought to be a military or law enforcement drone, flying in controlled airspace over Denver almost caused a catastrophic mid air crash with a commercial jet.

Last summer, police in North Dakota used a Predator drone to spy on a family who refused to give back three cows and their calves that wandered onto their 3,000-acre farm.

Watch out for the next episode in which you’ll see a full size drone blasted out of the sky.

derpy derp derp derp

i bet they had a three hour game of grab ass right afterwards.

I was readinf DIF last night and waiting for this topic to pop up in here...

I don't know what they're trying achieve by this? Some gungoons shooting down drones and getting their asses busted + MSM would in that scenario for sure make truth people/patriots/gun owners etc. to look like dangerous "home grown terrorists" or some other garbage.

Well, at least it would be cool hobby to shoot down drones. It'll get people arrested very soon though.

Agreed. I think disrupting the RF signal and causing it to crash that way would be more effective, and harder to trace.

Yea, sneaky undercover dronekillers! Haha, untraceable home made EMPweapon to shoot the buggers down.. That would be awesome toy to shoot down the other toys....

I'm interested to see where this "borthers in arms" thingy with AJ is going. If nothing else, it'll sure have some entertainment value.

The 'brothers in arms' wouldn't go with that, because it doesn't involve guns and explosions.

I am interested as well. Is it just entertainment, will they be arrested, or will something bigger come of it?

Ofcourse! No hollywood effects with EMP... Booooring! Bring on the explosions!

oh the govt will use this as an excuse and introduce drones which will shoot back.

just wait and see.

Wonder how long it will be before one drone shoots down another drone in a 'friendly fire' incident.
Be fair, that's not even an 'if'. s'gonna happen.

I bet that sooner rather than later, almost all warfare will be solely fought by using drones... No matter be them planes or tanks, they will be remotely controlled by somebody in somewhere else... Making fighting wars like a goddamn videogame.. I can imagine how easy it is for soldiers to pull the trigger when they are sitting in front of some computermonitor in the safety of bunker of military base, far away from frontline.

And shooting civilians, they're doing it already, but with drone/videogame interface, it's even more easier, no pain, no trauma... Just shoot puppets on the screen as your superior tells you...

Can't get much more fucked up than that!

And what about the weaponsystems? Why in hell do domestically operating drones need weapons on them???? Who's the target of these weapons? Terrorists? Criminals? ordinary people? Politicians? FUCK THAT! I can't find a single damn reason out of all out war that would "require" drones to be weaponized.. I can understand this from military pow, but these dronws that just watch people?`why those need to have missiles on them?

This world is fucked up.
