Talking of whacking someone. My company is based on a typical modern industrial estate and just lately we have a guy coming round with a drone who is deliberately flying low over the estate and buzzing people with the drone. He does it until someone gets annoyed enough to confront him at which point he starts filming the people getting annoyed and really tries to wind them up. Apparently he posts videos of people getting annoyed and sometimes whacking him and his following is sufficiently large that social media channels will will pay him for advertising space. I assume the more irate people get to the point of hitting him, the more money he can earn.
It's a strange world.
