Stacy McCain has a piece about how to deal with the rioters associated with Occupy LA.
Tasers, pepper spray, CS gas, billy clubs, rubber bulllets — c’mon, LAPD, why are you pussy-footing around with these protest punks?
Time to break out the riot guns, I say. Bring in SWAT units with M5s (sic) and armored cars, maybe call in the Air National Guard to drop some napalm on these subversive Commie scumbags. If they want to whine about “police brutality,” give ‘em something to whine about!
While I too love the smell of napalm in the morning (It is the smell of victory), it has its disadvantages in a close urban environment. When I was being trained as an Army officer, I was taught nine principles of warfare, one of which was Economy of Force. Use as few of your assets as necessary to get the job done. Therefore, my recommendation of what to use on the Occupy LA folks is simply this: Soap and water. And perhaps some bleach afterward.
I concur with your recommendation except that it should be dropped from the belly of a C-130 flying low and slow and some water cannon in the side doors to catch the stragglers.
