A threat against Kristi Noem

 DC Daily Journal:

...

A Texas resident accused of unleashing a torrent of violent threats online against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem won’t be seeing freedom anytime soon.

On Wednesday, a federal judge in Dallas ordered 35-year-old Robert King to stay behind bars, slamming the door on his hopes of release after his arrest for interstate threats.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Renee Toliver didn’t hesitate, ruling that King poses both a flight risk and a danger to the public.

The decision came during a tense hearing in Dallas, confirmed by Fox News, where King’s attorney fought back, pointing out his clean criminal record, lack of weapons, and ongoing mental health struggles—including depression and suicidal thoughts.
...

My wife is a PhD psychologist who has worked with people who are depressed and suicidal, but to my knowledge, they never made threats against law enforcement or political officials.  Counseling and pharmaceuticals help deal with the problem.

Hopefully, King can get that attention while he is in custody.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
