When I was young, I thought we'd have flying cars and a cure for poverty. Instead we got groyper robots and groyper presidents 💔☠️

Did you mean groyper or groper lol? Two different things.

Not that we don’t have groypers at large too— I just think you might mean groper based on the context of this story.

groypers are the exact type of person that would use a robot to grope minors

I grew up with Clinton, so I guess one thing hasn't changed.

Biden was notoriously grabby too.

Police were unfamiliar with this type of incident, he said.

I am not surprised.

Great. Now what are the odds somebody in the next two years makes one with far worse intentions and they can't find the guy? The cops and judge better come down with the full force of the law or this is only going to get worse.

Surely you''re not talking public firing squad, for the poor robot!

Ask Philly about Hitchbot. That’s how it needs to be. Lol

Oh I've seen this movie. It'll be a cop, a judge, or one of their kids that does it so it'll be a slap on the wrist at best.
