    I guessed Stockton before I clicked. Had to be either them, Redding or one of the few Orange County towns that haven’t gone purple.

    I wonder who got the kickbacks from that fucked-up deal.

    Flock shooting is going to be the new skeet shooting, and dialing 911 the new “pull!”

    It’s my god-given right as an American to blast those fuckers out of the sky with a 12 gauge, and you can’t tell me any different

    I think I saw one of those in Morgan Hill following along the freeway. I remember pointing it out and saying that’s a huge drone watching us. Didn’t know it was fucking Flock.

    So where do you need to shoot it? The round thing, or the flat thing behind it?

      Black, Middle Eastern, or anyone that opposes Israel’s occupation of the United States. Take your pick but when midterms come and you’re told you have to pick the pro-genocide Democrat then remember, this is what you voted for.

        saying israel is occupying america is a little bit removing its agency for being in the situation we are in. most of us didn’t agree to it, but still.

        but yes i am also livid at the democrats.

    Just wait for drones to be allowed to view everything over your window. Palantir there you go.

        At least the drone doesn’t start shooting before it’s fully turned the last corner…yet.
