Kinda slow aren’t they? I’ve been talking about people doing this for 3-4 years. And not just ISIS or the military either, if you see what I mean...why risk using a gun or other close range weapon when you can drone your neighbor, enemy, deadbeat, etc.

Well, DUH!!!

Who didn’t see this coming?

Wait until they act in swarms, like a Marine fire team - one C4, one CS gas, one Claymore, etc.

They had to wait for Amazon to get the software and government approval just right.

Now Bezos is ready to do Hillary’s Bidding.

Wait until they start doing this over Ohio or New Jersey.

These things are easy to build from a kit, even easier to buy. Strap some explosives to them and fly them over a school, festival, or sporting event.

Say hello to the Blitz in America.

Yes and instead of a suicide bomber, the terrorist goes on to bomb again and again unless caught.

Scary stuff.

It doesn’t take much intelligence to see where this going. Terrorists in 10-20 years (or less) will be able to take out huge areas of the world remotely. At some point they will destroy the entire planet. They have to be eradicated now while they are relatively weak and instill fear in them.

Or booby-trapped toys on playgrounds.

You undecided mothers want all that for your children? Vote for Hillary.
