Severn Bridge, a Main Route Between England and Wales, Shuts as Drone Flown From Tower (bbc.com)
A main route between England and Wales was closed after a man climbed a bridge and flew a drone from the top. An anonymous reader shares a report: Traffic was stopped on the M48 -- the older of two Severn crossings -- because of "concern for welfare," police said. The man, in his 20s, came down voluntarily from the 47m (154ft) bridge tower and was arrested on suspicion of causing a public nuisance. Highways England said it was deeply concerned and that "a person has put their life at serious risk". "The incident was quickly spotted on our security cameras and reported to police and thankfully there was no injury or worse on this occasion," it said. "Appropriate security is in place on the bridge, we are liaising with Avon and Somerset Police and will be undertaking investigations to determine if any damage was caused during the incident." Police said: "Officers attended the M48 Severn Bridge at 08:10 this morning after concerns were raised for a man who appeared to have climbed one of the towers and was flying a drone off it."
American cops would have probably shot him off the tower to keep him from committing suicide.
flame bait... there are plenty of pro 2nd amendment democrats that hate Trump and supported it long before Trump was even born.
You are just trying to make up garbage to divide people even further with your "intolerance".
Aside from the fact that "2nd Amendment Democrats" also know and respect the rest of the Constitution. Where the MAGA-heads regard the rest of it as worthless shit and wonder why the hell we can't just live in an authoritarian paradise like they do in Russia, China or North Korea, you know where you do what you're told "or else". And if you think I'm joking or making shit up, just refer to the sentiment of "dissent is treason" and "free press is the enemy of America" that constantly comes from the right and is a view shared by most if not all MAGA hat wearing cretins
