"Drones in town,they get shot down"

It's kind of hard to keep writing about conspiracy theories when the "theories" keep getting shown to be facts.
Okay not all of them....but a lot just in the past year.
I remember when people said we would NEVER have drones flying over the US policing us.
Guess what?
Yeah, it's not only coming but is already here in some parts of the US.
Also, they say they will never be armed......



But in the small town of Deer Trail, Colorado, they are not waiting for flying Gatling guns with cameras.
No, they are actually thinking about licensing bounty hunters to shoot down what they consider unlawful drones flying over the town.
Yep...you heard that right.
They are even proposing a $25 fee to allow them to snipe shoot UAVs with shotguns of 12-gauge or less.
AND...the city is thinking about paying the hunters $25 for the wings and $100 for an entire aircraft.

What Happens When Drones Return to America - TIME

They've certainly transformed the U.S. military: of late the American government has gotten very good at extending its physical presence for the purpose of killing people. Ten years ago the Pentagon had about 50 drones in its fleet; currently it has some 7,500. More than a third of the aircraft in the Air Force's fleet are now unmanned. The U.S. military reported carrying out 447 drone attacks in Afghanistan in the first 11 months of 2012, up from 294 in all of 2011. Since President Obama took office, the U.S. has executed more than 300 covert drone attacks in Pakistan, a country with which we're not at war.

Drones We're All?


"As president, Barack Obama would revisit the PATRIOT Act to ensure that there is real and robust oversight of tools like National Security Letters, sneak-and-peek searches, and the use of the material witness provision." - Barack Obama official campaign position paper, 2008

"In January of 2012, the US Congress passed legislation that will open up the US sky to unmanned drones."

Drones to patrol US protests?
