It seems the anti-globalization protesters at the WTO or World Bank meetings (how do these morons afford to go to so many foreign capitals considering what deadbeats most of them are?) would prefer these weapons to a nightstick or a swift kick.
Personally, if I were a cop I’d prefer the pleasure of an up-close and personal relationship using a lead-filled rubber truncheon as some Hong Kong cops used to do. The bamboo batons they now use leave a mark but much less internal damage.
The morons who break into businesses and loot or set someone else’s car on fire deserve no less. This system is way too PC.
If these symptoms continue, I'd seek treatment.
