Robophobia USA: Hitchhiker Vandalised in Philadelphia

Hitchbot was made to test whether robots and humans can live in peace, the kid sized mech made it through Germany, Netherlands, and Canada. 2 weeks in the U.S. and violence happened. Hitch made it across Canada and through parts of Europe unscathed. Two weeks in the US, it is destroyed before it even leaves the East Coast. All this brother was trying to do was get to California and he never made it.

Lets have a moment of silence for our robot friend.

This kind of behaviour is disgusting, this is 2015 goddamnit!

Poor guy.

Someone call Al Sharpton.

Beata

Here is the image of our destroyed friend Hitchbot.

@black_arrow:

It was probably a Terminator. Foreigners r hus 2 dum 2 kno dat.

....Wha?

@dccomicsrule2011: human on robot violence

@silverpool:whoa there, they just want a better life

Lol the fact that it made it in all those other places but got destroyed in 2 weeks here is not surprising in the least

@blade_r: It could be the police, since they seem to hate colored people

@vivide: That Robot isn't dark skinned, so they probably wouldn't mess with it lol

@blade_r: It's gray and last I heard not many people support that

@vivide:

....so he was murked for no other reason besides being a robot? I say we riot against thus oppression!

@dccomicsrule2011: It was just a kid who wanted to see Freedom!

#NoJusticeNoPeace

@vivide: I for one support gray marriage

@vivide:

'Tis a sad world we live in, when a cybernetic person can't walk the street without getting killed. :(

@dccomicsrule2011: @blade_r: we need techno-diversity

Check your human privilege!! Human scum! I'm also a human, but I know exactly what these oppressed robots go through.

Robots are people too.

I was born and raised in Philadelphia, and we don't take kindly to uppity Robots.

People fear robots like are going enslave humans and put them in "the matrix" to keep them enslaved.

Of course he got killed in the states, im really not suprised

I was just reading about that little guy on the chive

Put this under spoilers for being too graphic. Ther maybe kids on this site!

But are you certain he just didn't run afoul of a swam of drones?

For those of you who don't know, this has been going on for a while now.

Warning scene maybe too graphic for users

They kept his head!? Nasty!

@rd189: need your input
