4. Investigative stories on LRADs here: these are VERY dangerous sonic weapons:

Media caught San Diego's sheriff rolling them out at townhall meetings on healthcare, no proper protections in place. He got roasted in a sheriff candidate debate for it even by right wing opponents and next day held a press conference to claim he disabled it; later took that release off his website. Will Occupy San Diego be facing this next? These things should be ILLEGAL for non-military use, other than perhaps for ships at sea to repel pirates.

5. Did they deploy it? It can be used as loudspeaker, or as a weapon.

Our sheriff claimed it was useful in search and rescues due to directional sound capacity, but in a riot situation it could blow people's eardrums out or worse.

6. Cant these be countered with hearing protection

Like shooter's earplugs or muffs?

9. Short answer- no. Frequency specifically designed to render most OTC hearing protection useless

7. Get your volume down

in the right conditions, it can also affect your computer.

And yes, it is quite a dangerous toy.

15. seriously? police state marches on! I wish we could have a few of the old GOP justices retire from

the bench, so we could get some progressive minds in there that would shoot down a lot of the shit that is being planned against the people, or that already is law. The rich control way too much as it is.



Get it now, or one of a million other designs! http://www.zazzle.com/republicans_2012_keeping_millions_out_of_work_bumper_sticker-128659602907896843?rf=238107662556833486
