Summary

A drone sighting temporarily shut down runways at Stewart International Airport in New York on Friday, part of a string of drone activity since mid-November.

Gov. Kathy Hochul called for federal action, urging Congress to pass the Counter-UAS Authority Act to enhance drone oversight and empower local law enforcement.

Similar sightings in New Jersey prompted investigations by federal agencies, though many reports are suspected misidentified aircraft.

Officials stress the activity isn’t linked to foreign actors but remains irresponsible. Temporary flight restrictions were imposed near sensitive sites, including military bases.

    Eh. Let’s just call it vigilantes pushing back against the man and his airplane luxuries. If you can afford to fly in a plane, you are part of the problem.

      I like to think they are part of the solution.

          Fighting the rich was never a goal of the nazis.

            Never said that.

            Assuming they weren’t actually attaching Nazi rhetoric but we’re stumbling on it:

            Suggesting a “solution” with a wink,… Is to kill a group of people is not something “we” should encourage is no good.

            Phrasing matters. Give the media popularized Nazi rhetoric and you’re losing credibility.

            If they were “joking” about the “final solution”, fuck em

              I feel removing the air from the ruling class is actually the only solution, that is what I mean and have meant for quite some time.

              There is absolutely nothing wrong removing the people who intend to do you harm. It is basic self defense. We are coming to a peak where people will choose to fight it or allow it. And this is ‘Merica… we fight our enemy. The enemy is within the walls. This is a problem the left and right share. We should unite and fight.

              One less ceo, many more to go! ✊

                    Ironically enough, it was actually flavor aid. But never the less, people who can take a flight aren’t the enemy. That’s stupid.
