19-20-21. The National Guard Is Prepared

In America, police officers generally do not use flamethrowers, and are not trained to use them. Flamethrowers would do a lot of damage to the buildings, and even people of DC.

I have noticed that Alt Right terrorists usually have far less military experience than they claim. They have no understanding of air support. A gun airship could usually eliminate them quickly, if it were to come to that. They are doing some amazing things with drones, so with a one or two thousand dollars any technically adept Antifa person could also do the same.

Please Walt, enthrall me with all your military derring do.

A lot of kidding around... except the drone part.

Seriously, for very little, one could create a drone (or even a group of drones) that could wipe out any group of people who made the mistake of being in open country. I certainly do not support this, and hope no one does it.

But lets imagine a world where mobs of armed Alt Right losers regularly kill opponents. The obvious counter to this would drones to kill them back. It is a possible future.

The Alt Right assumes the Gravy Seals will win, because they have an awful lot of guns, and some rudimentary military training from non-military sources. I am not as sure. Antifa might be able to draw on new technologies (such as drones), and defeat the Alt Right's lack of real military training. As for all the Gravy Seals guns, an extremely obese man with 20 rifles can probably only use one at a time, if that.

Agree 100% about drones. There were a few in use at the inauguration today.


Have you seen the videos about the future of facial recognition drones? Slaughterbots.

That's some very scary shit.

For the money, drones are a waste of money. Even this $10,000 drone can't carry the payload of a Claymore mine and firing mechanism. Start adding a camera instead of being there visually to fly it and the weight goes up higher. Factor in a drone that large is going to become a target for countermeasures such as a smaller faster killing drone which uses its own mass as the weapon.

F = MA

Fire can be very funny as long as one is not the person aflame.

A different concept which can be defeated by either signal jamming or an EMP generator for something like a high profile gathering.

Taking out a militia circle jerk with it might work.

LOL. Agreed. OTOH, the purpose of terrorism isn't to kill but to terrorize. Just the thought a Walmart drone can carry a plastic baggy of lighter fluid and ignite it in a crowd can terrorize even though the threat is negligible.

Thinking a bit more radical, it could also drop a baggie of Ricin, or even Fentanyl and kill masses.

No, but LV426 claimed it was so.

Those figures will realign over the next few months.

Ever date a verified psycho? You think you're done with them, but you aren't until they say you are. Republicans made a deal with the devil, and now they're screwed.

trump is butt hurt, and feeling as if everyone in the Republican party has screwed him. I expect him to get the funding to start the Patriot Party, and cost Republicans the next two or three elections.
Unless they do the patriotic thing and put him down.

I posted three videos of weaponized drones somewhere in this thread. FAA even has a warning about outfitting drones with weapons of any kind.

Agreed they can be weaponized. The United States has turned it into a fine art. My early point is that it would be difficult to take out a group of people with a drone bought off Amazon.

It's purely a matter of weight. Specifically payload. The $10K drone I posted earlier was large, but even it couldn't carry a Claymore mine...which would be a great anti-mob device detonated 50 feet overhead. Still, it'd not only take a large drone to carry it, but the explosion would destroy the drone.
