New Weapons To Be Used Against Protesters In Denver

Activists Preparing Against Use of ‘Brown Note’ at Dem Convention
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.
Mark Cohen, co-founder of Re-create 68, an alliance of local activists working for the protection of first amendment rights, said he believes this could be deployed at the convention in August to subdue crowds.
“We know this weapon and weapons like it have been used at other large protests before,” he said.
Cohen, who described Brown Note as a “sonic weapon used to disrupt people’s equilibrium,” cited eyewitness accounts of its use during free-trade agreement protests in Miami in 2003.
“I think these weapons were mostly intended for military use and so their use for dealing with innocent protesters seems highly inappropriate,” he said. “The idea that they might be field testing them on people who are doing nothing more than exercising their first amendment rights is disturbing.”
His group is preparing against a possible attack by Brown Note and other crowd-control measures by dispatching street medics at the convention trained in treating injuries in demonstration situations.
“It’s all we can do,” Cohen said.

But there’s another weapon the protesters fear more than Brown Note, if you can believe that. This from Glenn Spagnuolo, also with Re-create 68:
“More troubling to Spagnuolo is the “Active Denial System” or “ADS,” a ray gun used to send high levels of microwave frequencies that cause a burning sensation the skin.”

Wild Thing’s comment……
Yikes, I never heard of this before. OMG! It sounds like they are really expecting a lot of protests at the DNC Convention.
With this crowd, how will they know if it worked or not?

TomR says:

Strictly rumor. These protestors are just getting excited about all the fun they are going to have in Denver. Their rumor mill is ripe for all kinds of far fetched fare.
Among their ranks will be a disproportionate number of radical attorneys just looking for lawsuits to file against the authorities. The courts will be busy after the convention.

Mark says:

Bullets work just fine and you don’t have to worry about the same protestors doing it againl

Kristopher says:

“Brown Note” is an urban legend … watching these kooks get paranoid is pretty fun.

Wild Thing says:

Tom, oh good, haha I never heard of such a thing as that it kind of shocked me. haha
Your right about the lawsuits from the leftie prosters too.

Wild Thing says:

Mark, I like that idea, I vote yes on that.

Wild Thing says:

Kristopher, thanks. Hahha I imagine there will be more of their complaints till the convention.

cuchieddie says:

I’d love to see them crapping all over each other, that’d be so friggin cool

Rhod says:

Crap coming out of both ends? Mythbusters’ Adam Savage proved that sonic motility is just that, a myth. They don’t care. Leftism is a system of superstitions reinforced by paranoia.

Les says:

This has been a crazy primary campaign year or two. It is reasonable from what we see for the Democratic National Convention in Denver to turn into a Chicago 1968.

Wild Thing says:

Cuchieddie, hahaha from the photos I have seen of the protesters at the things they have done they all look pretty smelly to start with.

Wild Thing says:

Rhod thanks I was wondering about this if such a thing existed. yuk.
hahahaa

Wild Thing says:

Les thanks for the links ( images).
I hope they protest the heck at the DNC and leave the RNC one alone.
