    For instance, what would happen if they tasered someone wearing one of these>/a>?

    I've got one better than that... Police tase sleeping man in his own home. Yeah, the guy was black, showed his ID, only to be tased a third time. Then he was carted off in handcuffs in front of his child. Police were cleared of any criminal wrongdoing without a trial in less than 6 weeks.

    I wonder what happens when you wear one of these to a protest rally... I'm guessing they'll throw you under a jail for the rest of your life for the attempted murder of a police officer.

    you should be wearing one of these when you go to these kind of events. You'll have a clear path in no time.

  5. Cool looking, but rather useless by Deacon+Jones · · Score: 1 · on Shocking Clothing
    It looks and sounds neat movie of the 'arc'.

    However:

    1. The attacker in the demo, while put off, doesn't seem to be that disabled. One would think this could to a swift blow to the head. Or

    2. When hearing the crackle or viewing the arc, a determined attacker could simply kick her in the shins.

    Point being, it may be a good way to say "hey, I really meant it when I said no," but it definitely wouldn't prevent the determined mugger/rapist, IMO.

    i don't think this jacket is likely to kill people, nor do i think it is the equivalent of "beating the crap out of someone". watch the video. it looks no more dangerous than touching an electric fence. less, even. i'll grant you that accidentally grabbing an electric fence isn't super fun, but the vast majority of people are not likely to suffer harm from doing so. heck, i've been shocked worse than that on several occasions, and i'm juuuust fine.

    From the No Contact web site...

    The embodiment of the No-Contact Jacket is created intentionally for being worn by a woman since women typically have more pronounced security concerns than men. We specifically utilized a princess seam construction which is an apparel method designed for the female form. We also incorporated smaller sizing and relatively narrow armholes such that it would be unlikely to fit a man comfortably. This is an intentional use of design to reduce the risk of men adopting the device. The No-Contact Jacket is intended for non-aggressive passive defense and is not intended to proliferate violence.

    So, essentially, men are style-challenged brutes who can't be trusted with defensive technology, lest they turn it into a weapon. Way to strike a blow in the name of equality!
