Denver police are stocking up on guns that fire a pepper spray-like substance instead of bullets - a less-lethal weapon used to disperse crowds - in advance of the Democratic National Convention.
The department recently ordered 88 Mark IV launchers and projectiles at a cost "in the low six figures,"..

Get those water cannons loaded up with liquid sludge from local pig farms.
They should be stocking up on rat poison.
How many crap-cannons have been deployed?
It would be a shame to spend six figures and not use these impressive terror weapons.
gee, I wonder if we’ll get a 21st century version of the CSNY song “Ohio” out of this.
This feels different - more like a media fabrication than any underlying groundswell of Nation wide discontent.
I do not believe that anything of any real import will happen in Denver.
They should just save their money and buy rounds with the rubber balls for crowd dispersal. Fires from a regular 12 ga. shotgun, costs very little and hurts like heck. Leaves nice big welts that last a long, long time. Memory enhancers for the socially rude protesters.

unless they are used to playing “contact” squash or racquetball.
Nah, wouldn't have much effect. Try soapy water instead.
I was thinking of stocking up on Salmonella tomato weapons.

Ray Gun To Make DNC Protesters Spurt Diarrhea
Here is a fun domestic terror tactic to use against people protesting a political convention: Fire a ray gun at a crowd of these ingrates and then laugh as they all convulse and then shit themselves and then disperse, to die, because their bowels have just been microwaved. Fox News says such weaponry will be deployed at this summer’s Democratic Convention in Denver.
Nothing says “hope” and “change” like using science-fiction weaponry on American citizens using their constitutional right to peaceably assemble, “and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” And the First Amendment doesn’t even exclude FREE MUMIA signs, ineptly constructed puppets that don’t look anything like Bush or Gordon Brown or whoever, or those goddamned “WHOSE STREETS? OUR STREETS!” kids in their Misfits skull shirts from the Hot Topic shop in the mall.
From Fox News:
Political activists planning protest rallies at the upcoming Democratic Convention in Denver have their stomachs in knots over a rumor about a crowd control weapon - known as the “crap cannon” - that might be unleashed against them.
Also called “Brown Note,” it is believed to be an infrasound frequency that debilitates a person by making them defecate involuntarily.
This could be dismissed as handy Police State propaganda via Fox to discourage protesters from showing up at the DNC. (Having attended a few of these presidential conventions ourselves, we would also like to discourage protesters from attending because there’s no point, and nobody within the convention/hotel/party “green zone” is going to hear about your protests, let alone see them.) But a pro-government news outlet isn’t the only source for this weird story.
The ACLU has sued the City of Denver to find out what nefarious weaponry was purchased with $18 million in federal grant money for “DNC security.”
And a real microwave weapon developed by the Pentagon for “crowd dispersal” was tested in 2005 on Air Force personnel (we’re assuming they weren’t officers). At least two humans have been badly burned by the supposedly harmless weapon, including one airman who suffered second-degree burns and was later fed to Dick Cheney, who described the airman as “too old.”
Mad scientists have been making shitting machines for nearly a century. Or, Nikola Tesla made a shitting machine nearly a century ago, and comically tested it on his “friend” Mark Twain.
What about the crap cannon! Maybe they can use them both at the same time.

An Emerson College coed, was in a crowd "celebrating" the BoSox victory over the Yankees for the AL pennant.
Yadda, yadda, yadda, a police pepper ball struck her in the temple, and it was game over for her.
I don't think so.
I don't believe that they want anything negative around the messiah at all.
What the media does want is 24/7 media coverage leading up to the convention, and this looks like a harmless way to promote Hussein Obama with constant free coverage.
"Tin soldiers and W coming, We're finally on our own. This summer I hear the drumming, four hundred pepper-sprayed in Colorado"
All they ordered is .68cal Paintball guns that shoot tear gas filled “paintballs”....
This way they can effectively “snipe” the rabblerousers in the crowd and shut problems down fast....
This is what the “other” side is planning....their definitive guide to streetfighting the “pigs”....

I believe a similar fate is somehow in store for all who are not Yankees fans.
just doesn’t flow, does it?
Nope. I'm a “typical” white guy. No rhythm.
