No goo guns or sound waves

This is disappointing news:

Sound waves, goo guns won’t be used on DNC protesters

Denver officials expect to spend more than $18 million on police equipment for the Democratic National Convention — but the purchases apparently won’t include high-tech weapons that use sonic waves to incapacitate protesters or goo guns to immobilize them.

Later, the city disclosed more details about its purchases, which currently are projected to come in at $18.2 million.

They will not include non-lethal weapons that use “slime” or “goo” to immobilize protesters or that use microwaves or sonic waves to induce pain or other discomfort. Some convention watchers had alleged that the city might purchase a weapon that would cause people to defecate.

I was kinda looking forward to seeing these experimental crowd control techniques deployed against the tens of unhinged PUMAs who will show up in Denver next month – the Mad Autoharpist’s strings mercifully silenced by a stream of slime or Harriet “Inadequate Black Male” Christian shitting her gauchos and espadrilles after being hit with the mighty defecation ray. Another dream dashed.

Well, Betty, it doesn’t change my plans to vote for Obama but I don’t think I’ll be voting you into public office anytime soon. You’re too soft on police brutality.

Well, if they’re not spending 18 mil on non-lethal weapons, what ARE they spending it on?

Thanks for that laugh, Betty.  I needed it.

Betty, I read the title of this post and I had exactly the same thought as you - “Aww, why not?”

I was reading one of the PUMA boards today and some bitch said something about how her son is being deployed to Iraq and she “doesn’t trust Obama” with her son’s life.  Fuck that stupid cow.

This campaign is turning out to be a ticket straight to hell for me.
