Active Denial System in New Orleans?

[Chrontius]

So, anyone care to wager on whether we'll be seeing the microwave pain ray in New Orleans before this is over?

Too expensive. Loads of pepper spray and live ammo.

pepper spray, pepper spray paintballs, beanbag rounds, rock salt rounds, tasers, flash-bangs. Maybe the microwave ray; who knows...

My wager is that all will be settled with a show of force from the police and Guard. No pitched battles with rioting hoards or block by block clearing of armed gangs.
