Ron Swanson VS Technology | Parks and Recreation | Comedy Bites

[@virgiljericho664]

Honestly Ron holding a drone and the shotgun he used to shoot it out of the sky while he stands nonchalantly in a thunderstorm is the most badass moment of this show.

[@alexrowland]

Your theory has plausibility, as a quadcopter drone, like the one shown in the clip, probably wouldn't have flown well, if at all, in a storm.

What people are missing is that Ron’s relationship with technology shows not only his distrust of government, but also the issues he runs into with unregulated capitalism.
