Chris Christie predicts 'drone vigilantes' as he insists they are 'over my house'

Raw Story  

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie warned of "drone vigilantes" and insisted that the unidentified vehicles were flying over his home. "So you've got people like Congressman Jeff Van Drew saying there's an Iranian mothership off the coast of New Jersey." He argued that the federal and state officials should act quickly, or "you're going to have individuals acting as drone vigilantes, and they're going to start taking them down." "That's not what we want, because they're now an important part of commerce and law enforcement uses them frequently for surveillance and other things," Christie concluded.
