Before I start into this, I want to say that I also disagree vehemently with the so-called "Protest-Zones." They are an egregious violation of our first amendment rights to peaceably assemble & protest.

But these zones are NOT exclusively a post-9/11 thing, and not exclusively a George Bush/Republican thing.

(note the quote: "Elend encountered his first zones at the 2000 Democratic Convention in Los Angeles.")


And I'm also worried about this new type of "non-lethal" technology being used against the citizenry. Look at the recent death due to Pepper-Balls after the Boston Red Sox won the ALCS against the Yankees. The girl that was killed was a bystander, not in the fracas. She shouldn't have BEEN there, but what happens if the mob finds YOU?

One thing I really want to know about the weapon portrayed in the article is: can it be spread over a wide group? If so, I'm VERY scared.
