We tested this device out at Sandia Nat’l Lab TWENTY YEARS AGO…

The soundwaves CAN POTENTIALLY CRACK AN ENGINE BLOCK OR 100% COMPLETELY DISRUPT ONE’S INTESTINES (resulting in severe Jello®-like internal organ failure and DEATH)…

Let’s aim it at the Democraps!

The soundwaves freq o/p can be lowered so you won’t hear it- just feel it…and then it’s too late!

In Barack’s hand, weapons like this combined with his “Civilian Security Force” and the Gov’t-Media control of information make The N0bamessiah THE HANDS-DOWN THE FAVORITE TO TAKE AMERICA INTO H3LL!

Now, go ahead and take another look at that JOKER poster again…WHO’S LAUGHING NOW?

He is…

This is the first I’ve seen/heard this.
That other machine that shoots the heat beam is a nasty one too.

Police State, USA ! Rah-rah… *spit

Run a search: “Camp FEMA” , and check-out those videos. You’ll see what we’re, most of us, are soon in-for.

Ah yes. Let this be a warning to the teabaggers and Breitbarters who decide they want to progress to revolution and overthrow this Republic. The control of the US comes through democratic elections not 3rd world coup attempts by a bunch of nuts.

Title Wrong. Actually the police did NOT use the weapon. An Active Duty military NCO operated the weapon. Now of course there MUST be a congressional authorization somewhere for this deployment or it would be a FEDERAL CRIME under Possie C.

One can only hope the military will protect our constitution before they protect the most dangerous man in the world: Odumbo.

unknown   September 25th, 2009 - 12:17 pm

bro’s right… kinda like a Coastie LEdet on Nav ships doing boardings in the Gulf: it makes it legal!

Unfortunately, though many know we are a nation of LAWS and NOT men, the N0bamessiah thinks he’s above that ’cause in his twisted mind, he’s Gawd!

Sounds like Martial Law to me, whats next? People disappearing from the streets to never be seen again. Or should we compare this to Iran Elections. You Decide….

So freedom is available to those that choose to do what is right. When people start to infringe on others freedoms, like destroying property of a fellow citizens and harming people. They loose their freedom. Thus the introduction of a criminal act.

I have respect for the Police, they have to put their lives on the line with these people because the protestors are being violent to property and persons.
