Hunters Shoot Down Drone of Animal Rights Group

Required Snark writes "A remote control drone operated by an animal rights group was shot down in South Carolina by a group of thwarted hunters. Steve Hindi, the group president said 'his group was preparing to launch its Mikrokopter drone to video what he called a live pigeon shoot on Sunday when law enforcement officers and an attorney claiming to represent the privately-owned plantation near Ehrhardt tried to stop the aircraft from flying.' After the shoot was halted, the drone was launched anyway, and at this point it was shot down. 'Seconds after it hit the air, numerous shots rang out,' Hindi said in the release. 'As an act of revenge for us shutting down the pigeon slaughter, they had shot down our copter.' 'It is important to note how dangerous this was, as they were shooting toward and into a well-travelled highway,' Hindi stated in the release."

How is this marked insightful? There is no comparison between having an item stolen and being sexually victimized. Maybe the REAL solution would be to forge chastity belts for all MEN, and give the keys to women. That's just as reasonable a preventative as expecting all women everywhere to cover up because you can't control your 12 year old libido like a man.
