The Robot Revolution Begins

********quote*****
The parents of a young boy who got knocked down and run over by a security robot at Stanford Shopping Center want to get the word out to prevent others from getting hurt.

They said the machine is dangerous and fear another child will get hurt.

Stanford Shopping Center's security robot stands 5' tall and weighs 300 pounds.

It amuses shoppers of all ages, but last Thursday, 16-month-old Harwin Cheng had a frightening collision with the robot. "The robot hit my son's head and he fell down facing down on the floor and the robot did not stop and it kept moving forward," Harwin's mom Tiffany Teng said.

The assailant:


The injury:


When questioned by the Police about the clear violation of Isaac Asimov's "Three Laws of Robotics" the villainous automaton replied: "Isaac Asimov can bite my steel ass ! ! !"

DonDiego suggests the wary reader remember the date: 11 July 2016, . . . the beginning of the ultimate robot takeover of planet Earth.
For the record, DonDiego recognizes the superiority of mankind's new mechanical masters and welcomes their undoubtedly benevolent rule. He will provide any assistance which they request.
I believe the robot's response was "Isaac Asimove can bite my shiny metal ass." I believe the robot's name is Bender.
Just my belief with no factual basis whatsoever.
According to Steve Martin. "I believe....robots are stealing my luggage."
Followup:

The Wall Street Journal reports: "Mall powers down security robots after one bumps into toddler."

The sub-headline at marketwatch.com reads: "Probably not the first sign of the evil robot uprising" ! ! !

The reader cannot say DonDiego did not raise the alarm on this matter.
