Why should the people headed to area 51 be worried? The government/military isn’t doing anything about foreigners storming our Southern border.
Agree. USAF isn’t going to machine gun a flash mob. Guaranteed.
(With apologies to Rod Serling):
Consider if you will an innocuous looking perimeter that is in public view. Behind it, picture two 12-foot electrified fences, topped with razor wire, 50 feet apart, with all manner of interesting sensors arrayed between the two fences.
The area between them is patrolled by teams of dogs, all trained to kill silently. With a single bite they can and will remove your sternum and your heart.
AFTER, they kill you, they emit a single bark to summon the guard force to fill out the paperwork, and the meat wagon to haul you away.
No weapons drawn, no shots fired.
You’ve just entered, and permanently checked out of, your personal Twilight Zone.
Eh, I agree they aren’t going to “machine gun a flash mob”, but for different reasons.
Some people are unaware of technological advances in the past ten years for controlling mobs/crowds. Also, some people people have a difficult time separating the fact that deadly force can be used from what is most likely given the amount of advanced notice that exists here, the distances involved, and that new tech.
Yes, if anyone was actually going to get close to anything sensitive, deadly force would be used. No one doubts that. But that’s not going to happen because you can literally stop a small-to-medium sized mob of fools (and at worst, that’s all it would be; this is an Internet joke, remember) these days without shooting a single one.
Agree. USAF isn’t going to machine gun a flash mob. Guaranteed.
I would not be sure enough of that to be in that mob.
