Between this and the video of the little robots that can climb trees...pretty scary. Let's remember that technology is non-linear and that smart, agile and adaptive robots will be commonplace in the near future. "Law enforcement" will have a field day. No longer will you worry about video cameras recording your moves from traffic poles. It will be the "Automated Reconnaissance Assets" watching you from any convenient location and exacting "justice" as required. Just as military pilots are now controlling drones in the Middle East from the US, your local police will be controlling remote assets from their stations (no, not Dunkin' Donuts).

The shape of things to come...

"Is everybody pleased?"

A therapist would have a field day with that one.

Very Good Points in the above postings... There are more cruel things in life than this. I'm not saying he should have done it BUT these are the same kids that throw rocks, stones and anything they can find. They steal and loot whenever possible and help set IED's on the roads. While not ALL of them do these things most do.

And to the person who brought up Karma and IED's ... well maybe it is just the opposite and that this is the KIDS punishment side of karma for setting those in the first place ... haha

...For all those people taking everything seriously, you should have a field day with my post
