IDF’s ‘Skunk’ to Go Aerial to Prevent Violence
Arutz Sheva ^ | 20/9/11 | Maayana Miskin

As part of its preparations for possible mass riots among Judea and Samaria Arabs, the IDF is taking one of its more effective riot control methods and helping it go airborne. The “Skunk” crowd control substance can now be sprayed on violent mobs from above.

By bringing the Skunk to the skies, the IDF is hoping that mobs that attempt to storm Jewish communities or IDF checkpoints can be turned back before coming within weapons range of their target, thus averting violence.

The Air Force has already conducted a successful practice run, which it termed “Flying Skunk.”

The Skunk went into use in the military in 2009, and has since become a preferred method of crowd control due to its proven safety. Some methods of non-fatal crowd control, such as rubber bullets and tear gas, can become fatal if misused. The Skunk, however, cannot.

The method is simple: protesters who are considered to pose a threat to security personnel or others are sprayed with a scent so foul that it causes nausea and even vomiting. The scent usually causes up to 90 percent of protesters to leave the area immediately.

The Skunk liquid evaporates within hours, leaving its targets with no lasting ill effects. It is made with organic ingredients, and has been approved by top doctors as well as by the Ministry for Environmental Protection.

It stinks. I always thought if people saved up expired Shoko sacks at room temperature until there was a riot, they could fling those at the rock tossers and do about the same.

Why not just hook a skunk up to some sort of aiming brace and cork it? Then aim and release cork. Skunk will be so POd, it’ll be all natural riot control.

Butyric Acid (what makes vomit smell like vomit) is one of the ingredients.

It even has a little milk in it. Comes in these plastic serving-sized sack. You bite a hole in one end and suck the liquid through it. Leave it to ferment in the heat for a while, and the sacks swell and bloat, break easily when thrown.

Butyric acid is the constituent of rancid butter that gives it that distinctive smell.

Yes. And parmesian cheese. And vomit.

Combine that with the sound device that causes a burning sensation. Aim it outwards from the border.

Used to be able to buy pure skunk essence at the sporting goods store.A 2 ounce bottle was about 7 bucks.If a bottle were poured into the fresh air vents of your car-it would ruin your day.

If you want to stop any attack from any living animal.. Bear Spray will do it.
Even polar bears will not attack when sprayed. It works great.
Best of all virtually harmless (except the effects) on humans.

I hid a dead fish in my cousins car once. I told him about it and he forgot. 2 weeks of sunshine and Nebraska August heat later we had to burn the car.

They make something based on diethyltellurium. Exposure is known to make a person smell like a rotting corpse for over a year.

We’ll buy a tanker-full. Put it in water balloons, and let’s face the next Intifada with a smile on our faces and a Jewish Spring in our steps.
