Sa tead täpselt 0 mida mina õigussüsteemist tean ja kus ma seal olnud olen. Niiet mine kukele oma solvava ja vale hinnanguga. Ja kuna sa oled avalikult valelik ja hoolimatu saaks sõna "rämps" lihtsasti ka sinu kohta kasutada ja ilmselgelt tähendab see sinu kohest ja pikka vangistamist

And then spotting drones spotbthe right target and guide the shot and fall
I prefer this one

Sa vist unustad et kuudid olid Javelinide vastu ja nende vastu olid aktiivselt kahjulikud. See et kogemata sattusid droonide vastu natule kasulikeks oli juhus mitte planeerimine

Sobering fact. Between ages 20-65 years old, more than 50% of Americans are at one time part of household that uses #SNAP benefits. It's not those people, it's you people.
