'Campus Guardian Angel' Drones Can Also Smash Windows And Ram Attackers
This is how the Campus Guardian Angel drone system is designed to work:
The drone defense firm's CEO underlined that “the first 120 seconds are incredibly critical, because that’s when most of the shooting happens.” That implies that he thinks Campus Guardian Angel drones could be successfully deployed within that very narrow time window. But Uvalde was quite unusual, as responding law enforcement seemed paralyzed, waiting over an hour to enter the classroom.
These school-based drone systems are not without their critics. Some say that the funds may be better spent on prevention than cure. Even Mithril’s founder and CEO’s opinion seems to be that if these drones aren’t prompted into action within two minutes, they aren’t living up to their promise.
There is also the concern that drones could misidentify students or protection officers when controllers are under pressure. Others say that military-style drone systems aren’t appropriate for schools, and will cost a lot more than simple measures and routines regarding locked doors.
With the three states proceeding with pilot programs this year, we may see the true value and capabilities of the Campus Guardian Angel drones. If these drone-protected schools don’t suffer any terrible shooting incidents, then it may be claimed that the drones are at least a deterrent.

We're forbidden from discussing engineered demographic change, forcibly untreated mental illness, and profitable medication side effects.
Compared by race and ancestry, apples to apples and oranges to oranges, schools in the USA are considerably less violent than the rest of the world. It's just some parts of the world being imported are hyper-violent compared to others and as a punishment we're forced to accept infinite immigrants from those areas. For example, some of the least violent ethnic Somalians on the planet live in MN. It's just their rate of violence is maybe 10000x higher than ethnic Swedes, perhaps even more. Schools full of Somalians in MN have a much lower rate of violence than schools in Somali and schools full of Swedes in MN have a somewhat lower level of violence than schools in Sweden, but the rates are WILDLY different such that from a white perspective, schools today seem incredibly violent, which they are, compared to schools in Sweden.
Then there's situations like the humiliation ritual of certain mental illnesses forcibly being redefined as a lifestyle choice, and sometimes that lifestyle choice involves going out with a bang together with numerous unwilling participants at a school. Lots of dead kids from that one.
And there's the situation of several profitable mental illness meds have this sort of behavior as a side effect, and there's been a society wide decision we'd rather have the pharma profits than safe schools. May as well sell certain antidepressant meds along with 9mm ammo in a package deal.
