Hmmm...I didn't see an unruly crowd, only pledges of peaceful assembly, as afforded them by their fourth amendment rights.

On the other hand, the thuggish Pitt students in the following video were, I'm sure, very threatening to the officers, as they menacingly peered from their dorm. I'm sure I'm just over-reacting to the use of pepper spray on innocent by-standers. Who are we to question, at least the city sleeps quiet tonight. :roll:

The Pitt actions are different than what happened in the video you posted in Lawrenceville. I believe some of what the police did in Oakland is open to question.

there's an interesting tie-in with the LRAD weapon over on the Honduras Coup thread

http://www.rigorousintuition.ca/board/viewtopic.php?t=24373&start=285



. . .

After today’s emergency session of the United Nations Security Council in New York, US Ambassador Susan Rice emerged to read a warning to the Honduras coup regime:

"We condemn acts of intimidation against the Brazilian embassy and call upon the de facto government of Honduras to cease harassing the Brazilian embassy.”

The wording is unequivocal. After investigating the claims (and the de facto regime’s denials) of constant technological and chemical attacks on the diplomatic seat in Tegucigalpa, an illegal impediment of ingress and egress to and from the embassy, where legitimate President Manuel Zelaya and at least 85 aides, supporters and some members of the news media are sheltered, the UN Security Council has concluded that said harassment is real and it is ongoing.

. . .

In light of those international laws, the device you see in the photograph up top, deployed by Honduran coup regime security forces at the gates of the Brazilian Embassy, offers a smoking gun of proof that the regime is violating the Vienna Convention.

Narco News and its team of technical engineers and counter-surveillance consultants has identified the apparatus as the LRAD-RX Remote Long Range Acoustic Device, manufactured by the American Technologies Corporation.

The instrument is an offensive weapon, used on US Navy warships and by other nations, which can emit sounds that, “Through the use of powerful voice commands and deterrent tones, large safety zones can be created while determining the intent and influencing the behavior of an intruder.”

The LRAD-RX machine can shoot sounds of up to 151 decibels. According to the US National Institute on Deafness and Other Communications Disorders sounds less loud than those it produces can cause Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL): “Sources of noise that can cause NIHL include motorcycles, firecrackers, and small firearms, all emitting sounds from 120 to 150 decibels. Long or repeated exposure to sounds at or above 85 decibels can cause hearing loss. The louder the sound, the shorter the time period before NIHL can occur.”

The front of the device looks like this:

And this is the back of the device:

In other words, the LRAD-RX is the source of the high-pitched and painful sounds that have been pitched both at those inside the Brazilian Embassy and turned around when anti-coup demonstrators have tried to come close to it. As such, it interferes with the Vienna protected inviolability of the Embassy and its free communications.

Under international law, this violation already serves as sufficient justification for intervention by UN Peacekeeping Forces of the multinational kind that the country of Brazil has led in Haiti.

But that’s not all: Narco News has received the following photos of a C-guard LP Cellular telephone jamming device designed for low power indoor use. The black out range can be set to cover an area of 5 to 80 meters. The device was found inside the premises of the Brazilian embassy yesterday. Here it is, front:

Fuck you. I believe you should be banned for your behavior on that thread. I have no idea why you weren't.

You owe me an apology.

You really are insane woman!

And I believe my record shows that I'm not a racist. In fact, my best friend of ten years is an African American... But I don't have to defend my honor on account of your accusations. My life demonstrates my character. And just because you don't understand the complexities of my worldview - and maybe by your readings my words seem to contradict - but this doesn't make me a liar - just because you don't understand or just because you call me one.

I think others on here have a good reading of who I am and who you are. Now leave me alone. I'll be gone soon enough. In fact, with someone like you on this forum I'm not at all anxious to stay around.

Actually, for the health of this board it seems someone like you should be given a time-out. Yuk! Stay away from me now. Please?

Sorry, but no. I'm not going to do that.

ON EDIT: Because any others here who do indeed have a good reading on who you are and who I am, and who also believe that such a reading favors your credibility over mine are either (a) your fucking compatriots in infiltration; or (b) very poor judges of character.

I'd very much prefer it if you hadn't fucked with me, marmot. And I very much wish you hadn't. But you did. More than once. I couldn't help noticing it. Along with a whole lot of other shit that makes you a menace to this forum. Regrettably, there's no un-noticing that.

Marmot, I don't know whether you intend to return, but if you do, I want that to be your first act.

marmot, that's a pretty fucked up set of posts by you linked by c2w?, and hardly charming or indicative of some scallywag contariness, as you intimate. I really have to question your judgment with what looks like deliberately exaggerated and crude sex rhetoric in a superfluous serial provocation to c2w?. Except that your apparent celebration of the New Orleans shootings tends to moot any desire to think about you at all. It hurts me to see it or to say that, because you're a fun poster hereabouts and I was glad you started this thread.

We were working secretly for the military
Our experiment in sound was nearly ready to begin
We only know in theory what we are doing
Music made for pleasure, music made to thrill
It was music we were making here until

But they told us all they wanted was a sound that could kill someone
From a distance, so we go ahead, and the meters are over in the red
It's a mistake in the making

From the painful cries of mothers to the terrifying scream
We recorded it and put it into our machine

But they told us all they wanted was a sound that could kill someone
From a distance, so we go ahead, and the meters are over in the red
It's a mistake in the making

It could feel like falling in love, it could feel so bad
But it could feel so good, it could sing you to sleep
But that dream is your enemy

We won't be there to be blamed, we won't be there to switch
I just pray that someone there can hit the switch
But they told us all they wanted was a sound that could kill someone
From the distance, so we go ahead, and the meters are over in the red
It's a mistake we have made
And the public are warned to stay off

Geez Louise how about it. C'mon now. If I had to think about every single post I've ever internetted I'd be totally whacked. Let it go, like a breath.

That's excellent advice, beeline. And very generous of you to offer it in this case, given that it can't have been much more than a couple of weeks ago that you were remarking that you were gonna miss that marmot. Or at least I don't think so. I mean, I definitely remember the post. But you know how time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping into the future. So there may be a pretty substantial margin of error encoded in that "much more than." It's excellent advice that it's kind of you to offer either way, though. So really, how far wrong can I go?

Hmm... I don't see any evidence of racism from those links. I see someone acting like an arse; the whole MSM had a racist thing going on with Katrina refugees.
Personally, marmot, I thought you kinda crossed a line there. A clear apology and moving on was needed.
c2w, I find that sometimes the clarity of a message is inversely proportional to it's length. My reaction to reading those links you provided was often confusion about whether you were being straight, sarcastic, intensely offended, crude, ironic or post-ironic.
