look:  crimes are not defined by the law or the legal system. the courts and legislatures declare how they will respond to criminal acts, but the essence of the crime itself is the harm done; a set of facts set against a reasonable person's conscience.  the drones are being operated by /people/, actual people working for weapons industry companies. those people -- the actual individuals with their hands on the controls -- are criminals. they are comittiong traitorous, treasonous, fraudulent acts of deceit. manipulation, and endangerment peripheral to graft. the scale and purpose of their actions are beuond felonious, affecting millions of people -- entire populations. when the system grants itself license to violate rules of law and reason, it is up to reasonable people to enforce their rules, rights, norms, and morals. those are not the exclusive purview of government offices; those agencies merely have a sworn and certified /duty/ to enforce the will of the mass of reasonable people.  nothing does or ever can prohibit the public from enforcing its own will itself; we exist upon this earth by virtue of higher principles than we can even know -- not as tools, subservients, or mere components of the presumptive artifice of an exploitative society. each and every one of us has the authority to enforce reason in defense of our own safety and right to exist freely, including against manipulation, suppression and deceit.
