The Duffel Blog: Drone found innocent of 2d degree murder
What with all of the incessant hoopla over the Zimmerman trial you may have missed this news. Luckily, The Duffel Blog was there to keep us updated on the case;
Outside, dozens of supportive Reaper and Predator drones, waving signs like “01010000 01100001 01110101 01101100? and “01100111 00101101 01101000 01100001 01100100?, flew back and forth over the courthouse.
Awlaki family attorney Gul Haji Rachman gave a tearful speech to reporters, in which he vowed the fight was not over.
“Today, we are all Abdulrahman al-Awlaki,” Rachman said, as he donned traditional Yemeni garb of a zenneh, jambiya, and RPG-7. “This Reaper was clearly targeting this young boy, just walking around the neighborhood, minding his business with a bushel of khat,” he added, shortly before he himself was killed in a drone strike.

The drone’s comments in binary in the article are a hoot. Use this to translate:

The Drone had this public statement after the verdict:

One of the Drones went ape shit crazy and switched to hexadecimal. I will post his sign here but they blacked it out from the news media for profanity. 01AF-FFFF-1CBE-59DF. I am sorry but this one brought tears to my eyes. Despite the profanity I could tell this Drone was hurting inside. After all, they aren’t in the pilot’s seat, they are just taking orders. Sympathy for the Devil, I mean the Drones, sorry. 😀
Wasn’t young al-Awlaki the son of the US citizen AQ who was over there?
Dad plays stupid games, YOU get stuck with the stupid prizes.

In solidarity with his robot er, brethren, Bender Bending Rodriquez said “hey, hey, ho, ho 100110”.
Then, having received an affirmative from the drone to his frequently asked question “wanna kill all humans?” Bender and the drone set out to do just that (assisted by skynet, of course).
