Revisiting DIY HERF Guns
An anonymous reader writes "HERF guns have previously been regarded as nothing more than an interesting project with uses ranging from at-home experiments to malicious pranks. But the deployment of 'morally gray' forms of high-tech crowd control, such as the recent use of a sound cannon against domestic protesters, along with the likely future unleashing of the pain gun on more than just 'foreign terrorists,' creates a new purpose for these relatively easily assembled devices. Could HERF guns become a new method to counter the silencing of protesters via these sophisticated attacks, or is there any other way to prevent such efficient, convenient crowd dispersal?"
That's freakin' ILLEGAL! It's mass-assault! Don't act as if it were something normal or even OK.
Some plainclothes cops in that crowd starting a riot, does not change that.
Any sufficiently advanced intelligence is indistinguishable from stupidity.
Congratulations. You have just argued for the violent overthrow of the government, in a public forum. In a time of war. An argument could be made that you just committed treason. Bravo. Instead, I'll just ask, Why do you hate America? And If you don't love America, why don't you just leave? We in Real America(tm), don't want you here. Go away.
Can't say I have the balls to put myself in the firing line
Wanting (other) people should risk their lives for your narrow and unpopular political beliefs, while refusing to take that risk yourself. You truly are a conservative. Dick "I had other priorities" Cheney would be proud.
