Imagine being sprayed by Pepé Le Pew and an army of his malodorous friends. You'd rush home and soak in a tub of tomato juice to try to get rid of the smell, right? Now imagine a stench that has nothing on what those white-striped stinkers can douse — that's one weapon being used for crowd control in Israel, and it's coming soon to the United States.
The Israel Defense Forces have been waging war against rioters with a nonlethal — albeit truly putrid — product called skunk water, or just skunk since 2008. The spray, which was developed by Israeli firm Odortec, is said to be 100 percent organic and harmless, and consists of an extremely foul-smelling liquid with the viscosity of water that can be dispersed over a large area using a water cannon. Odortec says the overpowering stench of Skunk drives rioters away — and keeps them away, "effectively shutting down escalating situations."
Skunk was first used in August 2008 in the Palestinian village of Ni'lin in the West Bank. Border police squirted the liquid at demonstrators from containers carried on their backs. Since then, it's been used regularly on water cannons against Palestinian neighborhoods in occupied East Jerusalem. But Israel has also started used it against its own citizens, as in the case of Ultra-Orthodox Jews protesting compulsory military service in 2014.

But it's not just Israeli police using Skunk water — it's now available to U.S. police forces, as well, thanks to U.S. distributor Mistral Security. In November 2014, after violent protests in nearby Ferguson, Missouri, stemming from the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown, documents suggest the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department ordered several canisters of Skunk.

Arrest the ring leaders and organizers
My guess is they already have a putrid aroma.
It's not the Mexican government's fault if the caravan decides to enter the skunk field.
I was thinking it may be an improvement...
Can’t help but wonder if being part of this mob of unbathed, sweating mobsters who have lived in Central America wouldn’t somehow be immuned to this. It may even serve as air freshener!
Gen. Bill (?) Boatner used vomit gas at the Kujido PW camp riots during the Korean War, and it worked very well. It must have been an awful messy place afterwards.
"...Skunk Water..."
DO IT! NOW!
How about that crowd control truck with the big dish?
Well, anecdotally, as the owner of tomcat who sprays, I know that people become inured to a consistent odor, but that doesn’t make them resistant to new foul smells.
Well it’s definitely worth a try! I’d love to see it in action.
It wouldn't take more than a few agents with skunk water (or worse) to turn this caravan around.
Play the brown note at them at a really high volume.
well, now that fire season is pretty much done - we have a lot of air tankers available for dumping a bazillion gallons of this stuff over large areas, just saying. . . . .
Rainwater might slow them down or stop them, if we can get enough of it.

Right. I KNEW there were ways of crushing them without killing.
Also there are sonic attaacks that cause loss of bladder and colon. All kinds of stuff.
They will have to live with the stench for years, after...
No, we need to let them clear all of Mexio’s token resistance before we can break bad. It’s just good diplomacy.
However, I do believe Trump should call for a ‘no fly zone’ and take out any drones used for caravan recon.
Also BLOCK drone signals. Jam them.
And hide our satellite feeds in that area — close to the vest.
We also need to shift away from depleted uranium at the border. But we can spread rumors. All kinds of rumors and psych-ops.
