Yeah, but drones are harder to clean...and what do you serve with them, red or white wine? No self-respecting hunter would serve beer battered drones with wine......

I shot sporting clays at Broxton Bridge plantation once. Nice place in the country south of the nice town of Earhardt, SC. Last place on earth I thought would be targeted by the PETA pod people.
These gay urban liberal treehugging gungrabbing (that’s their REAL objective) Bambi worshippers think they can invade the countryside and menace the “bitter clingers” now by using high technology. No shouting to scare the deer this time.
So when their fancy new toy gets trashed by some oldfashioned weaponry, they get their tighties in a wad and call for backup. Watch for the ACLU to come storming in. Only when they show up at the courthouse they had better place some guards around their SUVs if you get my drift.

That’s the issue. It wasn’t above the property in question. It was airborne adjacent to said property. You might make a case that you can protect the airspace above your property, but no case to be made at all for shooting anything in the outside the boundaries but viewable from that property.

Looks like it was crashed on purpose to blame the shooters. You can’t convince me from the video that it was actually shot down.

Is it? I don’t know. You wouldn’t like it if someone shot down your helicopter.

I don’t care for their liberalism but I’m against destroying someone else’s private property just for the heck of it.

Since I would not be using it to harass people on their private property, you are probably right..I wouldn’t like it.

Really? Was it the protesters property? They were asking for what they got.
They just didn't expect it in their realm lf reality.

I don't see any buckshot damage either, and the helo was definitely over
private property. The punk commentator needs a couple teeth removed for being an ass.

Well, then, go ahead and fly your spy-camera equipped private property over someone else’s lawfully owned private property and announce that your purpose in so doing will be to spy on them for reasons hostile to them, and they might be expected to respond.
At that point, ideology hardly matters.
So some PETA person’s little toy was brought down. Who cares?

That video will come back to haunt them. With the hostility, name-calling, taunting, etc., it would be real easy for a lawyer to establish that these folks were out looking for trouble, and that a
reasonable person would defend themselves against these outside agitators.
At least, that's the way I would play it to a Carolina court jury.
