Overnight Open Thread (30 Oct 2015)

So for those of you going to some costume parties, what are you going as?

Drone Lawfare

Update on the Kentucky drone shoot down story. Judge rules man had right to shoot down drone over his house.

She said, 'Listen: You're a small person, so if shit goes down at a bar, you grab a chair and you just start swinging it around.' She never taught us how to put makeup on, she never taught us how to cook, but she did teach us that if you get in a bar fight, you grab a chair and swing it around."
