I’ll vote for the candidate who shoots down the most Flock devices (cameras, drones,
executiveset cetera).This is a terrible, myopic way to decide who becomes your representative, and I’m honestly sad Lemmy is even upvoting this.
You need a points system, otherwise everyone’s going to min–max on the low-hanging fruit. “The most” is too basic a metric, but of course as always, Lemmy doesn’t understand the practical realities of politics.
Yeah, the ones on private property like mall parking lots are worth the most by far.
Don’t want people to completely ignore the easy ones though. Maybe eligibility for the high-value target bonus is unlocked by taking down a certain number of the common (low-hanging fruit) devices. Track everyone’s stats, work out the daily average, make that the cut-off so anyone below that number gets a reduced award instead of handing it to cherry-pickers. Some kind of MMORPG-inspired mechanic like that.
Total height of cameras removed
so like the ones atop skyscrapers are worth more? i like it.
I figure it scales with effort.
i reckon so. seems like a plan to me.
I only know one thing about this man and I like it.
Those bullets have to land somewhere. Use a hacksaw instead.
Not if you didn’t miss.
That conditional is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
Skill issue
Ricochet and penetration can happen even if you’re on target. The thin shielding of these cameras isn’t going to do much to stop a bullet. There’s certainly more responsible ways of going about this.
A shotgun with medium-weight birdshot would work well and wouldn’t pose much risk of bullets falling on people. (Birdshot is too light to hold much velocity for long, and even if pellets hit people when coming back down, they’ll be small enough and moving slow enough to be harmless.)
There’s certainly more responsible ways of going about this.
Maybe, but we’re talking about Tennessee
That’s not how we do it in TN
Shotgun with birdshot would be safe.
Eh, bird shot would likely be enough to fuck a camera up and is highly unlikely to damage anything on the way down.
Hey, we can re-use those “I’m voting for the convicted felon” t-shirts!
The hero we need.
He’s got my vote!
Yeah, Same here honestly
Showing off his Tennessee cred
I wonder why he admitted to it 🤔 coerced?
You’re supposed to admit to your actions openly for civil disobedience. It gives you standing to challenge and opportunity to drag things to light. Even now, everyone being tried for this creates headlines that unattributed destruction does not
At higher levels, it can also clog the justice system and make it expensive to continue targeted policies
Without all that, it’s just property destruction. Flock could probably have examples made of people caught (seeing as somehow they seem able to sidestep the law), but that frames the issue in a better way for flock
Taking the justice system head on is just a much more effective method of forcing change… Granted at a personal cost, although getting caught by the big brother machines themselves seems likely
Or it could be for political advantage…I mean, the cameras are wildly unpopular and badasses who cut (or shoot) through red tape are very much currently in style
Without all that, it’s just property destruction.
Counterpoint: wage war against the State and Capital.
Counterpoint - that’s ineffective messaging. It doesn’t win over people not already on board
Instead, if you focus on concrete material conditions, like affordability and healthcare, nearly everyone agrees. Or in the case of flock, you roll it in with datacenters and the AI bubble in general
Winning under a banner of socialism is impractical, but socialist policies are rapidly rising in popularity across the board. If it goes down easier calling it progressivism, who cares? I just want good things
I was just about to post this!
Idk his ballotopedia page reads like a typical spurned republican but bravo
