Chaff grenades with conductive metals. Let them burn themselves.
Water can do the job. Maybe the gloves won't stop working... but the one wearing them will.
Not really. They're water resistant. Like, they say not to dunk it in water, but also that it won't shock the wearer if it gets wet.
Defensive measures are possible: It won't work through thick clothing as well.
Might be interesting to see what happens if they grab someone wearing conductive fabric. Give it a path of least resistance that doesn't include the person being groped.
Isn't this like a stun gun, but worse because you have to get into physical contact?
The goal of stun guns is to lock the victims muscles up so they can't move. These gloves don't appear to do that and according to the manual someone else can be holding the victim while they are being used. The primary purpose of these gloves seems to be to cause pain. From their manual:
CD3s function by over-stimulating the sense of touch within the Peripheral Nervous System which causes Neuro Peripheral Interference or NPI. CD3 technology delivers a pain stimulus strictly to the area of the epidermis contacted by the CD3
Just think hit many orioles healthcare that could cover instead. Or if that were put towards solving affordability issues. It’s almost like this administration has wildly different priorities.
So the gloves are made by company owned by a donor for the child rapist crew
We're in the world now where I'd be more surprised if they weren't.
Yeah, I guess at least it’s all really predictable these days. The mundaneness of evil.
I mean, duh. It’s important information, but did anyway not just know this would be the case?
Fuck it. Bring out the guns.
No need for guns. Just a bucket of water.
Elsewhere someone mentioned they're made not to shock the wearer if wet but don't immerse in water.
I was thinking maybe conductive netting. They'd have to pull it off of themselves...
