Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Sunday, October 12, 2025

"Every night for weeks we are forced to listen to the threatening rhythm of helicopter blades as the federal regime spies on us. The only limit power knows is our refusal to submit. This Saturday, October 11th, you are invited to fight back. All you need is a laser. Leave home " they can see where the laser is coming from. Go to a park, a field, or some other public place, and once the clock strikes 9 unleash your beam at the cop copter. Mask up. Coordinate with friends to throw a laser party! Let's take back the night together! It won't take many of us to ground the helicopters!" Volunteers were instructed to mask up, coordinate with others, and take steps to avoid identification: Clean laser pointers with alcohol, wear gloves, and remove potential DNA traces before disposal. Over the weekend, Portland police wrongfully arrested an independent journalist during an anti-ICE demonstration: 'X'.

No one should paint these helicopters with lazers.

These helicopters SHOULD NOT BE FLYING in the first place.

Neither should there be troops on the streets of American cities.

This is tyranny.

Portlanders need to under-react to ICE whenever possible.

The death of a Poertlander, perversely, will give Trump his excuse for martial law.

Trump wants to declare martial law so badly.

As a Pilot that has been lased in the SFO Bay Area, posting this is incredibly bad form.

Not only highly illegal, it dangerous to the pilots in the short term due to disorientation CFIT, but long term being unable to fly again.


That is not Rogers.

If this Rogers is the owner, and has the power to suspend people for posts, he assumes responsibility to not have how to commit dangerous and criminal acts on his website.

If an aircraft is affected by this behavior its my responsibility to fellow pilots and NTSB/FAA to report this site as one that distributed this content.

No he isn't.
He is opposing disseminating the knowledge that people lasering helicopters makes helicopters go away.

Love it that this authoritarian enabling water boy is trying to be all condescending.

Meanwhile he's consistently quiet on threads showing just how s*&^ty his chosen administration is and how much he's disregarded the supposed morals and values he's claimed to have held in the past in order to do so.

They all do that.
They're all cowards.
They only have strength in numbers.

It's a herd mentality over there. Not a free thinker among them. Best example of this was the Republican debate in 2016 when they asked Republicans who believe in evolution to raise their hands. A few did, but quickly pulled their hands back down when they saw they were in a minority.

I was being honest. Zed's posts come off as a deranged lunatic. I was pleasantly surprised to see him make a rational post.

I also asked you a direct question that you clearly ignored. It wasn't a "gotcha". Just seeking clarification.

You are not in a strong position to lecture anybody about morals. I will however give credit where it's due - you showed some genuine disgust with Snoofy over his cheering of Charlie Kirk's murder in real time.

I'm in violent agreement.

You don't fucking lase aircraft. Ever.

You idiots probably don't understand it, but that's an anti-aircraft weapon.

When domestic terrorists are using anti-aircraft weapons against US personnel, is that not possibly grounds for a military response?

Enlighten me as how people are being provoked to lase helicopters. Are those helicopters a threat to life, limb, or eyesight? Those are the traditional threats that permit lethal defense.

I can promise you that a laser is a threat to eyesight. Maybe these helicopters need to start carrying gunners.

Call 1800- Whaaa!

Every action has an equal an opposite reaction.

Maybe stop using these aircraft as weapons against civilians?

While I am not condoning any of it if you are using helicopters against civilian populations as an "aircraft weapon" you should fully expect expect those civilians to eventually come up with an anti-aircraft weapon.

- start carrying gunners.

To use against Americans? Are you itching to come out of retirement?

A few drops on Portland, maybe.

U.S. federal agents have used Black Hawk helicopters and other military-style tactics during immigration enforcement operations in civilian areas, leading to accusations of treating cities like "war zones". Critics describe these actions as using intimidation and fear against the public.

If you want to create an atmosphere of war and fear in American cities then that's what you will get.

US Law Enforcement Helicopters are unarmed.

Let me ask you this, if Russia were to lase a US helicopter, would that be OK? How about ISIS? Just write it off as a function of provocation?

Think about it.

"To use against Americans? Are you itching to come out of retirement?"

Yes.

When USans start targeting US government personnel, those personnel have the legal right to respond.

And?

Game and Fish have used Blackhawks and Drones for years to monitor poaching. And they will swoop in and arrest you.

Do you take issue with that?

No, it's not the time for a military response.

WTF is wrong with you?

Send the police to break it up and make arrests as necessary.

Jesus.

These people aren't terrorists. They're you're countrymen.
