Man, I hope this trickles down (Affordably) to the masses. Anything that hardens on impact would be great for those of us that attend protests. Its not so much the bullets and stabbing that worries me, but the savage beatings that we recieve. Though having protection is good when some rookie decides to fire rubber bullets into the crowd. Hasn't happened to me yet, but with how peacful protesters are being treated, its only a matter of time.

Boy are you lucky

I narrowly escaped a robocop-clad policeman who threatened to beat me with his baton on the way to join the protest, when i was asking around for directions to the meeting spot.

It only got worse from there.
People were shot, tear gassed, and beaten right in front of me at my last protest.

Have you ever tried pilfering trillions of dollars?

That is "hard work". (as someone in the administration has a tendency to say)

For years rumors about NSA backdoor in Windows has circulated the Net.

Yet another reason for migrating to GNU/Linux worldwide.

These pepperballs were used in Miami last November at the FTAA Ministerial protests. Police fired a whole lot of these things at protestors from guns like these - not at all unlike a normal paintball gun. They apparently can only be shot a short distance, but police would fire a whole lot into the crowd at once. Wounds generally look like this or this - red welts with a small chemical burn surroundinng it, but it isn't any consolation for this guy who got one in the face.
