Just in time for Political Convention Season!
No more one-at-a-time Tazer zappings for America's Boys in Blue. With the GOP and Democratic Conventions just a few months away word comes from the torture labs of Dr. Strangelove of the latest in 'crowd control.'
New Scientist magazine reports:
"Weapons that can incapacitate crowds of people by sweeping a lightning-like beam of electricity across them are being readied for sale to military and police forces in the US and Europe.
At present, commercial stun guns target one person at a time, and work only at close quarters. The new breed of non-lethal weapons can be used on many people at once and operate over far greater distances."
Thanks goodness. . . Repression of civil and human rights en masse just got a whole lot easier. But, of course, real patriotic Americans who would never find themselves engaged in Commie-pinko activities like protesting redresses in the streets shouldn't fear such useful law enforcement tools. And, hey, if you happen to be in the wrong place in the wrong time one day when these Pinkos are making a nuisance of themselves exercising their so-called Constitutional rights, well you just should've been more careful. Just ask John Timoney.
