bushco* now have their 'cook you in your clothes' weapon and are wasting no time in threatening us

[madokie]

with it, it seems to me like. Big march this weekend and they roll out their crowd control weapon in a way that is suspicious, at best, as to their intent. I really am worried for the marchers because you know someone is itching to try this new gizmo, which I think should be illegal, out on real people and I'm not sure they, whoever 'they' are, won't attempt to cause a scene so as things might get out of control and then they would have their excuse for trying it out. I don't trust 'em

I hope I'm just being paranoid :scared: :tinfoilhat:

[Gidney N Cloyd]

1. Who dreams up this insanity? And why do republicans keep paying them?

[dogday]

2. I hope your just being paranoid as well because

using any kind of force or weapons upon this crowd will cause riots throughout this land....

[karash]

3. .

Are you kidding? If multiple stolen elections and the detention and torture of American citizens without trial won't cause riots, what will? Blasting a few hippies with microwaves? I highly doubt it.

[dogday]

6. A Few Hippies?

Is that how you describe these protestors? I have to tell you, that is a statement from the right if I have ever heard one..... :shrug:

[Tesha]

11. "We need a sarcasm detector recalibration, STAT!" (NT)

[MindPilot]

22. We all know that's not true, but that's how it will play out in corpmedia

from the right is exactly where the statement will come.

[madokie]

4. I think you're right

I put nothing past this crew though

[bdamomma]

20. I will play devils advocate and say maybe this regime

wants to invoke martial law on us. I hope it doesn't get to that point.

[madokie]

21. I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist but I worry about the motives of this cabal

I think I can see that they will do anything to further their cause, but thats just me

[woodsprite]

5. Wouldn't that be the Air Force guy who thought we shouldn't

use a weapon on enemies that we wouldn't use on our own people - or something like that.

[madokie]

7. thats the guy

he was scratching his fingers when he made that statement too

[MindPilot]

23. Yes a couple months ago Steve Wynn, Sec of the Air Force

publicly stated the device should be tested on American citizens before being deployed in combat zones.

I got an LTTE published about it at the time and I wrote about to my rep who sits on the armed services committee. She wrote me back saying she had sent him a letter condemning his statement.

8. Franklin, Jefferson & Paine are rolling in their graves.

snip...

The experimenters banned glasses and contact lenses to prevent possible eye damage to the subjects, and in the second and third tests removed any metallic objects such as coins and keys to stop hot spots being created on the skin. They also checked the volunteers' clothes for certain seams, buttons and zips which might also cause hot spots.

The ADS weapon's beam causes pain within 2 to 3 seconds and it becomes intolerable after less than 5 seconds. People's reflex responses to the pain is expected to force them to move out of the beam before their skin can be burnt.

[madokie]

9. lots of IF's there aren't there

I think this weapon will be ruled illegal as it should, once cooler heads replace this cabal

[soothsayer]

10. Iraq is the perfect place to test things on people. Unlimited

guinea pigs. I'm sure that's going on.

[madokie]

13. I seem to remember a pic of one of these, ought to be illegal, weapons in Iraq

but haven't read anything about them being used yet.

[porphyrian]

12. Bring big mirrors.

You might be able to reflect that crap back at them, or at least away from you. Unless they would consider that battery.

[madokie]

14. and that is why they don't mention windows and such

I think a mirror will reflect microwaves

[porphyrian]

16. The ovens use a spinning aluminum fan-like thing to disperse the waves throughout the oven.

I'm sure something could be figured out in short order, if it really becomes an issue. I think it's just threats and posturing at the moment, though, if even that.

[madokie]

19. we're going to replace ours and I am going to take this one apart for show and tell

but mostly for learning on my part what the things are made of

[porphyrian]

24. Just watch out for the thingee (transformer?) that holds an electrical charge.

http://www.gallawa.com/microtech/how_work.html

You can cook your cookies on that thing if you aren't careful.

[madokie]

25. OOh I'm hurting already, make it stop

thanks for the reminder :rofl:

[Javaman]

15. Well, when I go to the next protest, I'm going to carry some frozen food in my pockets.

1) it should lower the burning "sensation" of the 130 imagined temp

and

2) afterwards, I will be pretty popular with all this free cooked food to give out. :)

[madokie]

18. be easy to find too, be smelling like cooked steaks instead of cooked ____

[Marr]

17. Everyone needs to drop and play dead the moment they turn it on.

Go to the doctor the following day, complain of chronic pain, and sue, sue, sue.
