I felt like I was watching a video of a rave, keep the camera still

[lenin1916]

I had to back up because riot police were massing in the park. My camera's also pretty awful at night so things blur easily. Sorry.

[DELTAwun]

Hey did you experience the new weapons the storm troopers have, the radar looking thing and the loud sound? Just curious what their like Thanks

[lenin1916]

Yeah that was the weapon, an LRAD I think. It was just a loud piercing sound. It didn't interfere with my thinking at all like it's been hyped to do. It was just a very loud, very crisp high-pitched noise that was unpleasant to be near. People backed up just to get away from the noise, which isn't possible because it has such a long range.

[dz2ny]

can the police themselves declare it to be an "unlawful assembly" is that really all it takes? If so, thats too much power.

[ENJOYOURMATRIXX]

Just like west Germany back in the days SAME THING WAKE UP PEOPLE!

[GaboonViper67]

Good.

[taurietaurie]

yes, they can. Because these freedom-lovers are also the people who throw in windows, damage cars, throw rocks and molotovs, and tear the place apart.

If you call that protest... you deserve to be LRAD'ed

@MixRaceBritAndBNP I bet he'd know who Motorhead was though.

I know of Hawkwind by way of Alien Sex Fiend's cover of Silver Machine. I like to think I'm a US citizen with some taste. Also thanks for realizing that it's not all of us, just some. There's a lot of hate from other countries that comes our way.

Pitt Police Use Sonic Weapons

These were not The University of Pittsbuurgh using LRAD

This was the para - military using LRAD on peaceful unsuspecting and unprovoking students on their college campus.

Anyone justifying this action is an IDIOT, this was simply a test of human control aparatus on innocent civilians

I have promoted this city to the world and am now ashamed of what has become a national disgrace.

If you are not enraged ,shame on you .

[MixRaceBritAndBNP]

Well coming from the States i can understand you never hearing of the band Hawkwind but at the start of the message it dose state "Puts me in mind of Hawkinds Sonic Attack" a simple google would have answered your question yet you chose to insult me. It's people like you that give people in the States a bad name

[elie721]

Yeah well you sure didn't make that "song" known in your bizarre comments. As far as me being "shallow" I only gave as much depth as you did in explanation, "freak." :-)

[MixRaceBritAndBNP]

If i'm a freak what the hell are you then, all i did was quote words from a song by Hawkwind as the predicted this weapon in the 70's, if that makes me a freak, then you have a very shallow mind, about as deep as a puddle

[GunBigotHater]

Pittsburgh Gestapo!

[GunBigotHater]

So essentially the symptoms are similar to a an Obama speech, except for the oscillation and vibration in the diaphragm?

Can hearing protection help you? Perhaps an alternate sound like music?

I have seen devices for sale that give people headaches and cause them to feel nausea, but powered by a 9 volt battery, I didn't expect much more than being sorry I wasted the money.
