Maximum pain

The military is developing a new weapon designed to inflict the maximum pain possible from up to two kilometers away. Truthout tells us the weapon is supposedly to be used against rioters. Given the measured restraint of our military and their abiding respect for human rights, I fear to think. They have contracted with the University of Florida to do studies to "identify how much pain can be inflicted on someone before causing injury or death."

The contract, obtained by the Sunshine Project, is posted at the Memory Hole.

Which is to say, enough of sharing my euphoria about life--we now return you to your regularly scheduled program of outrage and dismay.
