    The drone was not used because of the cows except in the loosest sense of things. That would be like the following headline in LA 20 years ago. "Drunken Motorist Causes Mass Riots in LA"

    Oh and what happened to the attempted Milla Derail? OH I was at work and no pics...

    nobody is proud of this mess anymore as more and more idiocy in it comes out but that's another threadjack next month. sometimes I forget about the poopies of the world when I wonder how shit like that bill happens.

    You mean, when Lenny told us over and over again that Obamacare HAD to be 2000+ pages, and that criticizing the complexity made us look "silly", he was just blowing smoke?

    EDIT: Remember this?

    Wait if he was on PCP then they probably DID have to beat him like that. Pretty sure he was just drunk.
     
  6. This is what wikipedia says

     

    The officers later testified that they believed King was under the influence of the dissociative drug phencyclidine (PCP).[13] King's toxicology results tested negative for PCP

    guess he wasn't

    An unarmed drone with "non-lethal" (LOL) weapons operated by some guy in an office thirty miles away with no assessment of the situation on the ground and no incentive to be diplomatic because his ass isn't on the line... what could possibly go wrong?

    I have lived in LA my whole life, people are fucking retarded and think fighting is normal/cool response to some trivial act, like looking at them the wrong way. So pretty cheap place to get your ass kicked. That said I have seen a lot of really stupid shit here but I am good at avoiding it myself, only place I ever got my ass kicked is Bangkok. That was unwarranted to say the least. Customer service doesn't exist in Asia and it is rude to call somebody out for a mistake
