How to bring the riots to a screeching halt

The riots can literally be brought to a halt quickly. As fast as possible, or order them made, convert 12ga shotgun shells to shoot rock salt. Shoot protesters who become violent, loot or throw things with rock salt in the legs, buttocks or back (not the head). They are finished for the session once hit.

Some will have to pull every piece out with tweezers. Nothing will stop the pain short of pulling out the salt. This was a very effective method used many years ago before these ignorant young people were born to deter theft of watermelons and the like. Extremely effective. Should be able to avoid killing anyone with this tactic.

Very effective deterrent. A few old people left who know about his will tell you so.

Sounds good to me.

I’ve also heard someone say let’s send up some drones and have drones drop tear gas bombs on them.

I also heard someone saying, probably joking that let’s get some cowboys out there with rope, circle around the protesters and rope them up.

Didn’t know there is a conversion needed. Aren’t there 12gu rock salt rounds that readily fit a 12gu shotgun? Or are they only for 20gu?

Jeff Cooper mused on riot control in his excellent 1998 book To Ride, Shoot Straight, And Speak The Truth:

It would seem desirable to devise a system which would make sure, first, that the riot would stop; and second, that only the leaders would feel the weight of social disapproval.

Let us consider such a means - the 22-caliber rimfire rifle. This weapon, properly sighted and equipped with a noise suppressor, may be used with surgical delicacy to neutralize mob leaders without risk to other members of the group, without noise and with scant danger of death to the subject. A low-velocity 22 bullet in the lung will not knock a man down, and in these days of modern antisepsis it will almost never kill him if he can get to a hospital in a reasonable time. It will, however, absolutely terminate his interest in leading a riot.

Dimes work much better.

“Dropping a dime”.

I still think rubber bullets are the way to go. But Granny Clampett would have agreed with you.

The conversion I made was taking the lead out and re-packing with rock salt. Anyone who has EVER been shot with rock salt does not want to EVER experience it again. Ask them.

Sorry I meant to say, rope up the rioters and arsonists, not protesters. I’ve been infected by the mainstream media who insist on referring to rioters as protesters , instead of referring to them by any criminal moniker.

I like the idea of arresting the organizers and those funding this.

Even those who donated...

That notwithstanding, because it won’t happen, due to an indifferent DOJ, I’d go with your idea.

“Dropping a dime” means making a phone call (to snitch)

That was after pay phones stopped costing a nickel.

I’ve read that the Israelis have been known to follow that approach.

The ones who most need shooting (leaders) will be prepared with heavy garments, gloves, masks, etc. Takes shot to penetrate. Will work on the followers though.

I remember rock salt well.

However, the only answer to what we are seeing now is to demand the police stop it and arrest the rioters. Outside of the media and in the complicit mind of the NYC mayor the rioters and looters have no righteous cloak.

This is the only thing that will end the chaos - unleash the police and realize its going to be ugly for a bit. The mob does not understand anything else.

Dimes were a common load in the old west. Made of silver, they deformed in very interesting ways.

Only if killing criminals gives you a problem.
