That Picture is not a Drone.. It is an RC Quad Copter... What a bunch of IDIOTS
And you are surprised because??????? People will call anything whatever the media labels it. I am working on how to get CNN to call me Brad Pitt. I'll keep y'all posted.
LOL!!!
Hmmm…let's take an RPV heavy enough to carry a 14 - 15 oz payload and fly it over a crowd of 110,00 seated shoulder-to-shoulder. Further, let's say a significant percentage of that crowd consists of alcohol-imbibing young males who might find it funny to throw stuff at said RPV to try and knock it out of the air. Hey, what could *possibly* go wrong? ;-)
If those drunks do something like that, they deserve what they get... If they get hurt as a result of an idiot.. sue the idiot.
We've GOT to get the FAA out of this regime in what is rightfully a local issue. The FEDERAL AA has no business in this area. Local authorities are the only ones who need to regulate local flights of UAVs. Drones that fly cross-countries, fine, Indy do your worst. We've got to look at all aspects of government and figure out which LEVEL of government should govern it.
