Pun intended with choice of words in headline. Let the reader understand...
I remember that.
We will
We will
ROCK YOU!!
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?
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 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.
Couldn’t they just wing them......in the legs?
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.
Send out a few military divisions!
The IDF had good results with accurized, suppressed Ruger 10/22s firing subsonic rounds which they used to kneecap the lead provocateurs in a crowd. Pretty demoralizing to see your chief agitator fall to the ground screaming in pain, bleeding from the knee.
The Israeli product called skunk mixed with indelible dye is a much better solution. Spray the rioting crowds with it. You cant wash off the stink and cant wash off the dye. These people trying to hide will be exposed. Skunk is a non-toxic mix of amino acids which you mix with water. It does not wash off and it sticks for about two weeks. It smells like a combination of rotting carrion and human feces, only vastly worse. Palestinians HATE it. Marking these people physically with dye and making them unbearable to be around accomplishes many many things. Ostracism, getting fired, getting disowned, and taking away their anonymity. Society will take care of the problem and they will be relegated to the dustbin of history.
The big bonus is we did not stoop to their level and meet violence with violence. We met violence with brains. ;-)
LOL
Allow US citizen stakeholders to stop the rioting and looting. Its how the west was won.
I would say not a great idea.
Shows a lot of premeditated intent if you are re-packing shot-shells.
Remember the actor who died after shooting himself in the head with a “Blank” cartridge?
At close range the load does not matter, a mere paper wad can be lethal.
At enough distance even buck-shot will spread enough to miss or not penetrate.
The OP wants to be close enough for salt round penetration, but far enough away to be non-lethal.
Good luck, if that sort of precise control were possible the rioting would already be over.
Use Mace/Pepper spray/Tear gas, stun-guns, water cannon for the most part.
If it reaches the level of true self-defense do not try to just wound or deter, go for center mass until the threat is eliminated.
Glad I am out in the sticks where the feral vermin will never show up as they could not maintain a large enough force to keep their ‘mob courage’ going.
A high speed bean bag is pretty devastating too. However, it’s questionabl how many people have bean bag guns.
