Comment Slime 'em Dan-o (Score 1) 589
First off... getting slimed is damn sure better than getting a riot baton to the head (cops) or an M-16 bullet(USMC). I've treated both injuries, and neither are very nice.
The military wanted this research done for non-lethal stuff because our politicians, in their infinite wisdom, feel the need to use a combat force as police. Ie... haiti, croatia, somalia. Open up on a rioting village with a 50 cal. Your butt will be in front of congress so fast you couldn't believe it. Slime 'em with a big load of jizz', now the congress can take credit for appropriating bla bla bla bla.
For all of you who worry about it's use. The same things ring true use in the civilian world. It's not like every cop is going to have a hood mounted slime gun. Most likely the vehicles that carry the riot squads to the scene would be equipped with them. If the poop hits the fan, slime 'em and bag em, just like today minus the concussions from batons and fatalities from "rubber" bullets.
Breaking up a violent mob is not impinging on anyones first amendment rights. It is stopping them from being assholes.
