Pittsburg police turn LRAD on non-violent G20 protesters.
They also used it on violent ones. Any violent or physically destructive protest should be met with force, and I'd rather they use less-lethal solutions than truncheons or bullets.
Ethics of such a device aside, these protests are generally filled with low-level violence, property damage, and rampant stupidity. I've never seen an articulate expression of any tangible goal they have beyond anarchistic mayhem and a vague fear of globalization/the "New World Order." These same people seem to come out of the woodwork any time an NGO they've heard of has a meeting.
Yes, but what I really want is a hand-held one that I could shoot at anyone that bothers me for whatever reason.
That would be funny, but at the same time I wouldn't want one. I would probably overuse it. Especially when I'm on my normal commute. However, I'm not sure if it would work through glass/car.

It would indeed work but not in the way you would want it too.

Can you imagine how nice it would be when you're walking and are accosted by panhandlers, lunatics, muggers, and such? Panhandlers might not be a problem where you are, but Baltimore has the most aggressive panhandlers I've ever seen. It would be great to zap one with untrasonic sound.
Or what about lolstundere when she is accosted by the homphobic guys? If she had a hand-held LRAD, she could just zap them.
I'm tellin' ya, it would be great. Think about how much money the people who make hand-held Mace are bringing in, and imagine how much people would pay for hand-held LRADs.
Nope, because Zombies feel no pain or discomfort, which is the method through which the LRAD does it's job.
Yes, but zombies can hear. They might not feel discomfort, but the LRAD can inflict permanent hearing damage. Also, I expect that the LRAD can cause balance problems if it messes up the inner ear.
Also, the LRAD is supposed to temporarily disrupt vision. So, if zombies use sight in any way, the LRAd should affect their sight, shouldn't it?
I really need to officially switch to the Democratic party, this shit is embarrassing.
You can always just register independent and vote for whoever you want (which you can do even if you are registered republican anyhow). There is no need to declare a party unless you need to A. Vote in a state primary that requires it or B. Want to be involved in politics.

Virginia seems to be an open primary state. I'll change to Independent, I really don't want to be associated with the R word anymore.
Hold out until I finish forming my party. I'm slowly building the core platform, which still basically consists of "only do what demonstrably works to promote/maintain/protect your clearly and openly defined list of societal priorities."

Ah yes, the fabled Esoteric party. I look forward to it. ^_^

Like - Are you threatening me? Zap! VOMIT TIME!
Stay Classy GOP.

At least one screaming extremist group is going down. Operation Rescue is going broke.
