US Air Force to Test Hi-Tech Weapons on Americans?
GayBliss writes to tell us CNN.com has an article about how the US Air Force secretary proposes testing new 'non-lethal' weapons on American citizens before deploying them to the battlefield. New weapons like a high-power microwave device are designed to incapacitate people or sometimes even electronic devices. From the article: "The object is basically public relations. Domestic use would make it easier to avoid questions from others about possible safety considerations, said Secretary Michael Wynne."

Yea, volunteers could probably be found, but my idea is more fun.
And just the threat might be enough to make a few of em think twice before they go on a rampage again. Or heck, any potential rioters might think twice if they though they might get used as test subjects for a scary sounding weapon system. No pity from me for em, police outta be using real bullets anyway on rioters... burn yer own fscking down down because ya WIN a stupid ball game or don't like a jury verdict? About as stupid as the asshats that smash things because they don't like free trade.
Ok, ok, I'm medieval and totally un politically correct. So sue me.

>> You can't treat a subhuman like a human The problem with this is your *definition* "subhuman." Many old-school southerners dont consider blacks humans. Many rich New England WASPs dont consider hispanics humans. I have heard this with my own ears at work. They treat minorities like roaches. Many republicans and ultra-conservatives dont consider Arabs humans. Should all these "subhumans" be tazed?
