Pat Riot Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Hmmm....I wonder how these folks would like to listen to my horn for an extended period of time? I just had some ideas for something like this, if it was something that one might encounter often enough to warrant the trouble it would take. Mount a couple "bear spray" canisters behind the grill and set them up to be activated from inside your vehicle. Raise windows / turn off AC. Install a 120dB horn. Install a PA and have a recording of Jim Carrie's "Most annoying sound in the world" on a loop playback. Install a PA and play the sound of a 12 gauge getting racked. Be ready to move fast, you'll probably only get one try. Get a leak proof stream sprayer and fill it with "Liquid @$$" fart spray and hose them down from the comfort of your car - get a clothes pin for nose. Night time? Loud horn and some aircraft landing lights. Of course, probably with any of these, you'll sustain some body damage when they get mad and start pummeling your car. And more than likely you will be arrested for violating their "rights". Never mind the fact that in most states blocking someone's path is a misdemeanor...but I digress.

Pummel? You jest! A couple of pila into your tires and grill. Or maybe pila to the tires and spathae through the grill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Funny; this image has an element of a Rorschach test.... "When you look at this picture, is your first thought: Sympathy for the driver, and anger with those blocking his path? Or, Sympathy with the soldiers, and anger with the driver who appears to be about to run them down; Or, Amusement with the anachronistic element; Or, Curiosity regarding who would actually win such an encounter; Or, Something else altogether? Despite the title, I never thought of the term "protesters" in conjunction with this pic; "re-enactors" does come to mind, and I immediately side with them in their struggle against the armored barbarians.

Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Told to me by a Queen's Cowboy, who had taken a course in handling "extreme" rioting: "You want to clear an area fast CLK?

LL I had lots of thoughts stumbling over each other. One was, Testudo - a good way to clear the rioters if you can't use Pike and Shot. Trying to elbow it out of the way and be first was "Get the rest of the maniple and THAT'S how you block the roads!" Grabbing at both was "Could a maniple stop a car?" Of course, the first thing was a chuckle at the whole set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
