Suspected this would happen at some point.
At least they found the “robot” hitch hiker ‘ s body, unlike countless human counterparts.

I agree. I am not crying over it, however the destruction is a symptom of the overall decline of our society. I do NOT equate it with killing a person, but the act was unnecessary and showed complete disregard for something that the destroyer did not own and which offered no threat to the destroyer. In other words, malicious destruction to no purpose just because one had the opportunity.

Ah the city of brotherly love, some multi alphabetic freak probably thought it was some kind of roadside pleasure station and got really angry..................kind of like those guys that find out the hooker they picked up is another guy.

Remember there are 2 kinds of ho-bots. You need to specify if its a pleasure model or not.

Certainly it would be wrong to build the next one around a pound or two of C4 and a lot of nails, set to detonate when the robot-like toy is destroyed....

How does knuckleheads not respecting other people’s property change the fact that having emotional attachment to a robotic instrument is borderline insanity?

Can you imagine what would have happened if the robot was wearing Air Jordans?

If the robot was wearing Air Jordans, there would have been another pair of amputations at the “ankles”.

Exactly. It makes it across Canada unscathed, Europe unscathed. It's destroyed in America.

And no one is surprised. Says a lot about our society.

“We should be crying because of the (apparently) widespread need to destroy anything and everything.”

Exactly.

Calling it a robot is a real stretch since it had no moving parts.
