wherein I reply that, in fact, my drone is not a 'vehicle' but a protected tool of self-expression (akin to a laser pointer), and therefore falls outside of this localized statute

A school principle, and his brother who was now married to his divorced wife (also a public school employee) executing two police and a neighbour, injuring two other police, for stepping onto their property. The police were following up a missing persons report on the principle.
I went down the rabbithole of this when it happened, finding their online posting and seeing conspiracy sites scrub their forum and news posts in real time the same day the events happened. Depressing. A man was just arrested in Arizona for inciting the shooting, close contact, celebrating them right after their deaths for taking down the demons of the new world order
