Protests will never accomplish shit, nothing. None of the politicians will listen to your concerns. The soviets were so ineffective at stifling dissent they would use brute force, ignoring protestors is much more effective.

Do what i do.

Dont Believe Them, Dont Fear Them, Dont Ask Anything From Them.

Why would you be surprised about gov't waste? It's no different than planes that won't stay in the air.

I didn't say anything about ever being surprised to see government waste. I saw one watch dog show that revealed a $250 receipt to replace a regular $35 toilet seat in the White House. Government waste of tax payer money is simply sad but true.

The crowd is getting ugly. Soldiers roll up in a Hummer. Suddenly, the whole right half of your body is screaming in agony. You feel like you've been dipped in molten lava. You almost faint from shock and pain, but instead you stumble backwards -- and then start running. To your surprise, everyone else is running too. In a few seconds, the street is completely empty.

You've just been hit with a new nonlethal weapon that has been certified for use in Iraq -- even though critics argue there may be unforeseen effects:

It's called the Active Denial System, or ADS.

And don't underestimate them. They're no fun.

After all, the white house will need some real defense.. What good would bunk crowd control do for the preservation of state? Can't leave the castle open for take-over.

Good Luck, and where a knight's armor. The beam penetrates clothing, but not stone or metal.

Just remember the peace.

Walking gently towards the defenders, or even crawling through their legs, will bring a much different reaction than storming or fighting the barricade.

acutally they have many new devices to be used on protestors, and the one in question shoots "MICROWAVES" at you, they are VERY bad for you.

Before you join any "peace" organization's "peace" rally, you should ask a few questions:

Have they organized a march to protest the killing in Darfur?
Did they organize protests against the 9/11 attacks?
Have they protested the use of suicide bombs against Israel?
Have they protested the kidnapping and televised beheadings of Americans?
Did they protest the train bombings in England or Madrid?
Do they have ties to any overseas anti-American organizations?

If you don't ask those questions, you'll likely find yourself sucked into an anti-American activist organization under the guise of "peace".

Yeah I don't think anyone has ever condoned terrorist attacks, I think the jist of this one is stop our own governments terrorism, and specifically the war in Iraq. You know we can't really protest things that happen in other countries, only try to get our own government to act.

And what exactly is an "Anti-American" organisation?

I thought he was being sarcastic. You mean there's actually a new anti-riot device that produces a massive burning sensation?

---

a few years ago the government would have deployed the LRAD (Long Range Acoustic Devices) which were present on the streets of NYC during the Republican National Convention in 2004, and also used in Iraq at the time.

now in 2007 and with so much heat on the gang currently inside the white house, i would be surprised if they didn't have their new machines of crowd control on stand-by.

Quote:

ADS produces an intolerable burning sensation on people’s skin with an invisible 95-gigahertz energy beam, causing them to be repelled without injury, according to the US Air Force.

It has a range of 550yds and is being evaluated as a vehicle-mounted weapon, with the possibility of ship-mounted and airborne versions to follow.

i don't think they will really use them.. ultimately it all depends on the manners of the public and how they conduct their protest. i hope to see no foul play.
