At one point during the interviews producers ask 7-year-old Farah what was one of her favorite things to do and she explained that her favorite thing to do was to help her father make bombs. She was even able to identify the difference between rockets and tank shells by the sound that they make.

The cops also had ways of stopping them and had numerous evidence files that Eric was threatening to kill people but everybody ignored the…

Ladies and gentleman it is no longer science fiction or movie props; killer robots are here! Okay, maybe it’s not that dramatic, but it’s true police departments are now looking to bomb disposal robots to help them take down immediate treats that pose a danger to civilian lives (Gershgorn).
