Welcome to the Democratic Convention: But Bring a Change of Clothes

Political activists may have to contend with an interesting little crowd control device known as the “crap cannon” or the “brown note.” The infrasound device makes people defecate on themselves. It is not actually the type of movement that MoveOn.com activists were expecting.

While acoustician Dr. Roger Schwenke has questioned whether these frequencies can cause involuntary defecation, he acknowledged the low-frequency exposure did “abdominal discomfort.”

Denver’s Mayor John W. Hickenlooper has refused to supply details of what was purchased with $18 million of a $50 million federal grant for convention security.

It could be just a rumor but it has activists up in arms and “preparing” for the worst.

    The Dazzler : a type of a directed-energy weapon employing intense visible light, usually generated by a laser. It is a non-lethal weapon intended to cause temporary blindness or disorientation. Blinding weapons are banned by 1995 United Nations Protocol on Blinding Laser Weapons. Dazzlers are not intended to cause permanent blindness, therefore are thought to be able to skirt this regulation (Wikipedia)

    ADS / Active Denial System : The “pain ray” to superheat human skin

    LRAD / Long Range Acoustic Device : At maximum volume, it can emit a warning tone that is capable of permanently damaging hearing, and higher than the normal human threshold of pain (120 – 140 dB)

    Will these weapons be used to protect you, or protect the government from you?

    This sounds more like a Republican National Convention device. I hope the sanitizing effect of the bright lights of media attention will convince Denver to not use this type of device….if the rumor is correct.
