It really bothers me. I had hoped they’d take him out by a sniper or ambush or related police actions.

This robot thing is...very unsettling.

(Technically it wasn’t a true ‘robot’, just a remote controlled vehicle with manipulator arms)

It's not a robot. It's a remote controlled cart, operated by a human being, with a bomb on it.

Could you articulate why this is unsettling to you?

“This robot thing is...very unsettling.”

Yes it is,but much is unsettling.

Using commercial airliners as weapons is unsettling.

Using humans willing to die to deliver death is unsettling.

Using pressure cookers to help kill is unsettling.

It’s an entire new world.

Do you find it unsettling that a nuclear weapon was used to take Japan to it's knees and bring an end to WWII?

In both cases, the only other option was to risk further loss of life.

You must remember they attempted for hours to bring about a more peaceful resolution through negotiations, to no avail. If they had been able to take him out with a sniper round, they would have.

I personally find it more unsettling that this person took it upon himself to act as judge, jury, and executioner upon human beings that had absolutely zero involvement in incidents that didn't even incur in that state, let alone that city.

Robot on the ground, probably with a repurposed SWAT breeching charge or two strapped to it... Not a stretch to armed drones with small diameter bombs... We’ve already shown we have the political corruption of a third world hell hole, might as well bring the death squads along too.
