Thus tasers.. couple a set of them with a Prius's battery so that reload is not a problem. Then some body armor for the Prius.On the high end, a Tesla Model S could just turn targets into smoke if need be. -Original Message- From: Friam [mailto:friam-boun...@redfish.com] On

Re: [FRIAM] the Skeptical Meme

I think a ballistic vest would work as well as motorcycle gear for center of mass defense. Dress it up for cos play and you'll have the replacement for pro wrestling and other prize fighting entertainments. By the way, are we taking down the nascent alt-right-web yet? They're going to reinvent

Re: [FRIAM] the Skeptical Meme

Yeah, bullets are another matter entirely. It's easy to be "pure defense" with sticks and such. Self-defense in the context of bullets is one of incoherent, asymmetric, or preemptive. People who tell me they have a gun for self-defense risk a confrontation. Guns are purely offensive. They

Gah. Add more technology: Persistence airborne surveillance of the event to estimate nearby risks and advise participants. Make an app for that.And above all be sneaky about actions on the ground. Anyway, I see your point. -Original Message- From: Friam

Re: [FRIAM] the Skeptical Meme

Body armor is necessary. My motorcycle jacket has nearly invisible pads for the elbows, shoulders, and back. Augment that with some shin and arm guards and you'd be surprised at how much easier it is to defend yourself and others. But the most important gear is your mouth guard. Those
