2. "Otherwise shot them down". Ever the wordsmith. You can always tell when he writes these himself.

He will probably convince a few folks on Staten Island to fire on them…

I’m not saying anyone should shoot up in the air…I just meant that there are a lot of Trump voters/followers on Staten Island here in NYC.

Shouldn't we figure out what they are before we start shooting at them?

A motor falling from a few hundred feet? That could kill someone.
Or, pieces could hit cars & homes and damage them.
Even if these things aren't armed, it's still a rotten idea.

10. The same stupid fuck who demanded Biden shoot down that Chinese "spy" balloon

back in 2021, or whenever the hell it was. Once again, no consideration whatsoever for the people on the ground, who might have these things fall on them. He's nothing but a knee-jerk tough-guy, who is also the biggest fucking imbecile on the planet.

Lest we forget, that Chinese balloon was the size of a goddamn bus, and these alleged drones are apparently the size of cars. If they shoot them down, let's make sure he and some of his toadies are on the ground below them.
