Re:OT: What's with all the hyperbol summaries late
That would be like shooting down a plane because it flew over your house.
Like these guys. And it wasn't even yet over their "house"...
But they used bird-shot, so maybe this somehow makes it ok... -
OMG, they do not even know how to film themselves.
Worst... videographer... ever...
BTW, this video clears up... "highway was not busy", "shots were fired into air, not at roadway or cars"

Re:Shot down?
And that is not the video from the article. Here is the video from the article.

Read the article ...The original article can be found here:
According to the article the drone was hovering over the U.S. 601 (a public road) when it was shot down. It was filming events on private property, but it was not out of bounds in itself .
That ought to address both your question and the snarky remark of the parent post.
I'm afraid this shows that those "hunters" with guns abused their privilege of toting rifles when they felt annoyed. It also illustrates the aggression these people display (as in: "they see something they don't like, so they shoot at it").
As a consequence I believe they cannot be trusted with firearms and therefore ought to lose that privilege (i.e. their gun license).

DNA test and finger print residents of city
"It's under investigation," said Capt. Ed Conner of the Orangeburg Department of Public Safety. "We'll be looking at the evidence to see if we can put a face with the image on video."
Based on the image of the perpetrator shown on the Web site, I'd say the person is between about 15 to 80 years of age, is not bald, and wears clothes. I'm sure the police will DNA-test all residents of the area that match that description.

Re:A thinly veiled political rant, actually
A little quick Googling...
Although the unemployment rolls declined more than usual between July and August, the labor department said there were fewer employed residents.
But behind the area's rosy unemployment rate is the reality that fewer people are working than a year ago - 2,900 fewer in Escambia County, and 1,255 in Santa Rosa County.
"While the number of people unemployed was lower, employment levels actually dropped slightly from July."
The number of jobseekers declined by more than 17,000 over the month. Sharp reductions were also noted in the number of job losers, as well as the number of jobseekers entering the labor market for the first time.
