    So is a riding lawn mower. Or a car. The sun can kill you. As can weak ventilation. You could be bitten by a spider, or poisoned by bad food. An aneurysm could take you any second. Death haunts you every day and night, and there is never a guarantee that you’ll wake up any time you rest your eyes.

    But sure, drones are the threat.

      What is your point? That there are already a variety of ways people can die so therefore nobody should be worried about people creating new (easier?) ways?

        You think forging and sharpening custom blades that are capable of lifting a drone and maintaining enough lift while cutting through human flesh to keep operating…you think that’s the easier way? Buddy you can kill someone with a sharpened pencil.

        If they said “strap a bomb to the drone” it wouldn’t be so comically stupid and it would be easier.

        Finally, there’s just not much of a point in making up a new thing to be vaguely scared of.
