Reaper Drone Found Not Guilty In Death Of American Teenager

ARLINGTON, VA — A U.S. federal jury has found an MQ-9 Reaper drone not guilty of second degree murder and manslaughter in the aerial bombing death of a young American teenager, Abdulrahman al-Awlaki,
who was killed in Yemen in October 2011. Awlaki family attorney Gul Haji Rachman gave a tearful speech to reporters, in which he vowed the fight was not over. “Today, we are all Abdulrahman al-Awlaki,” Rachman said, as he donned traditional Yemeni garb of a zenneh, jambiya, and RPG-7. “This Reaper was clearly targeting this young boy, just walking around the neighborhood, minding his business with a bushel of khat,” he added, shortly before he himself was killed in a drone strike.

Isn't anyone tired of this phony PC politeness yet?
'Justice for Trayvon' translates to 'Revenge for Trayvon'.
