Equinox: Non Lethal Weapon:

Record ID: 118346
  • Title: Equinox: Non Lethal Weapon:
  • Date: 3rd June 2003
  • Description:A new arsenal of bizarre,non lethal arms that injure rather than extinguish are taking the death out of human conflict - papper sprays,glue guns,net guns and foam weapons are embraced by public and governments alike. In the last 4 years pepper spray is claimed to have been responsible for 32 deaths in California alone but meanwhile proponents blithely argue that 'incidental,accidental and corollary casualties must be expected and allowable". These weapons are considered non lethal and are being used in situations which do not merit extreme violence,let alone death. From mind-control weapons to microwave guns,Equinox follows a theory that non-lethal weapons enable the forms of democracy to continue while the reality of democracy is drained out.
