One man and his drone: ‘My hope is to shut down the coal industry’ - sh.itjust.works

> “I can’t give up,” he said. “They’ve already pretty much won. They can do whatever the hell they want, but I’m still alive. I’m still breathing, and so I’m going to cost them as much money as I humanly can while I’m still on this earth. Because I’m right and they’re wrong.”

the amount of industrial sabotage you can do with a drone is astounding, but nobody is willing to do it because it’s illegal and they’d get in trouble.

Well, just a reminder:

It was illegal to harbor escaped slaves and render aid to them in the early 19th century united states, and people got in trouble.

It was illegal to harbor persons of Semitic descent and render aid to them in 1930s germany, and people got in trouble.

What is legal does not define what is morally right.

This might appall some people, but someday I’m going to gain access to a drone, and subsequently the insurance premiums on various Amazon and Walmart properties would be about to experience a drastic rate hike…

The hell? There’s a stark difference between uncovering illegal activities with a camera drone and literal terrorism against retailers you dislike. You should legitimately be put in prison, which you will be, if you were to follow through on your insinuated threats.

Terrorism against retailers lolwtf.

If I worked at a warehouse and saw a drone flying around, 100% my first thought would be oh that’s corporate trying to find shrink. And if anyone told me it was actually a journalist trying to find dirt in the company, my next thought would be they’re lying and it’s really corporate trying to find shrink.

Well, if this wasn’t a threat of terrorism, then do enlighten me what the user meant by getting his hands on a drone to bring up insurance premiums for retailers. I understood it to be arson.
There are hundreds of things that could impact their insurance rates. Really anything that could result in a workers comp claim, on film, would make their insurer pause.
