Herschel Smith on "Green Lasers" - the New Antifa Weapon of Choice

[prambo]

For educational purposes only...Antifa/Black Bloc/BLM would never use these offensively against civilians - wrong!!

Where's Uncle Joe Bidoon's shotgun? Load that bastard up with rock salt and let 'er rip.

In all seriousness, isn't this a very intentional attempt to maim? An ebay laser can permanently damage your vision even with very brief exposure.

Yep...ahhhh, how shall one respond in a civilized manner to such scurrilous and infantile behavior by obvious cads and mountebanks?

See tag line below - this ain't "Fight Club" motherfuckers - this is real world assaultive behavior directed against non-combatants for shits 'n giggles and to intimidate.

Sorry, "proportional" responses are now so passé.

 

[Airborneguy]

I really don't get why the cops/feds are not shooting these fuckers. By all accounts, aiming a powerful laser at an officer's eyes intentionally absolutely reaches the threshold for using DPF, even here in NY.

 

[Cavalry]

Wait until they figure out its not that hard to convert (or just buy) a IR laser. Sure they will need some sort of aiming means, but the target will never know what hit them.

 

[Blimey]

ARGH. Another damn video with somebody "talking" to these people. This is so damn dangerous, and so stupid. Stay the hell indoors. Stop engaging when you're outnumbered 10 to one.

As for the lasers I do not expect many to ever encounter this, but ROE stay the same. If they are on your property acting like fools call the cops. As soon as they start to attempt to gain entry or throw Molotov cocktails, all bets are off.

We all should be out killing these vermin wherever and whenever they are discovered. The government should put bounties on their grimy heads. Make an industry of it until every last communist is gone.

I really don't get why the cops/feds/citizens under attack are not shooting these fuckers. By all accounts, aiming a powerful laser at an officer's anyones eyes intentionally absolutely reaches the threshold for using DPF, even here in NY.

Of course, the use of the lasers is deliberately designed to provoke a deadly reaction. I believe Stalin’s line was “You need to break a few eggs to make an omelette.”

 

[Dr. Evil]

Maybe if we all wore goggles like Fauci recommended we'd be safe.

I mean, I get it, but I haven't heard of these lasers being deployed against regular citizens yet, so my comment stands. It's not beneficial to always read for "us vs them" boogeymen.

It's mostly Fed police being targeted, not even local cops honestly.

If it's used against a citizen, my comment stands for them also.

Used to be standard equipment, back in the day. Be cool if it bounced it right back at them.

it appears you need something more substantial...

Green Light (532nm) Lasers Safety Glasses 325

 

[GOPerfect]

I can only hope all of this continues.

Lasers, fires, attacks, road blocks, etc.

I say, the more of this the merrier.

Many sleepy Americans are beginning to wake up.

 

[Robin]

More would wake up if they knew. Big media isn't reporting, and what little they do report is skewed. It is where most Americans still get their news. I hope they wake up to the fact that the media is lying to them.

It had been a widely used phrase but I believe in context, it was his useful idiot Walter Durante at the NY Times who said that. And won a Pulitizer for his work misrepresenting what was going on in the USSR (which the Pulitizer people - to their shame - still have yet to rescind).

And prompted the apt response from George Orwell- "where's the omlette?"

 

[libertysnake]

Lasers are no joke, and most of the ones you can buy are actually WAY over safe mW or even rated levels -- the ones that come out of China are notorious for being grossly misrepresented.

Fuck, then there's also this crazy motherfucker building military grade ones all the time too:

I would just assume the laser was attached to a firearm and make an appropriate response

I have a 40W 808nm laser diode floating around somewhere.

With some work you could add appropriate optics and electronics to run it off a cordless tool battery and you could permanently blind someone nearly instantly and they'd never even see it. They wouldn't know what happened, just suddenly they wouldn't be able to see anymore.

Could build it into an old camera shell and use the viewfinder to aim. If you used a second camera without the IR filter you could see the dot.

It would be truly evil.

Near IR lasers are very dangerous because your eye will still focus the beam on the retina, but they are invisible so they won't trigger a blink response, and you won't even see the bright light to know to avoid it. You need to be very careful when working with them.

And eventually they will figure this out and start using them. This is what happens with "hands off" policies regarding terrorists. They amp their tactics up as each successive assault succeeds.
