If the government uses a drone to kill Dorner then what’s next? Drone strikes on the next Waco compound? Drone strikes on the Hutaree or anyone else flying a Gadsden flag?
When I was born everyone sued to tremble at the thought of the Russians launching nukes at the USA and people would sometimes look up to the skies in times of crisis wondering if death was lurking over their heads.
Now the Soviets are gone and we’re going to have death lurking over our heads again?
But this time it won’t be the Soviets threatening to kill Americans in America...but our own government?
Yeah, and when they end up with a body, if it’s the wrong guy they’ll tell us, won’t they?

The kind of “mission creep” that led to drone “signature strikes” on unidentified persons merely exhibiting suspicious patterns of behavior could lead one to anticipate promiscuous use of killer drones.
The drivers of trucks merely resembling the perp’s that were shot up with little warning makes one grimace thinking about how many “collateral casualties” there might have been in the search for this guy so far if killer drones had been available.
