East County militia remains on high alert after shooting down “manned” drone near border

Copter Op?

Yokel: “If Hitler taught us anything, it’s that it’s pretty tricky to fight a war on two fronts. But when you’ve got the cartels set up less than a mile away, and the government just waiting to Ruby Ridge your ass, what are you gonna do? If they didn’t want us shooting shit out of the sky, then maybe they shouldn’t have put all that shit up there in the first place. They don’t own the sky!”

“It just doesn’t make sense,” says Clyde Yokel, head of the East County Patriot Association. “The whole point of a drone is that you don’t have to have anyone on board. We get some giant mothership drone coming in over an industrial hemp farm in our backyard, of course we’re suspicious. And with all those ‘mysterious drone’ videos on YouTube these days, of course we’re feeling a little jumpy. Could be the cartels, could be China, could be anyone. So yeah, we took it down, because men with guns don’t run, hon. And now they’re saying there was actually an American inside this thing, on some kind of mission? Could be a psy-op. I don’t know what to believe. Right now, anyone could be the enemy. Hey, where did you say you were from again?”
