Belgrade authorities have used sound weapons on the crowd of protesters. The video description has some educational links.
There are lots of videos around.
Seems like peaceful protest is no longer an option. They just forced people to go for the second option.
Honestly, we avoided a massive tragedy at that moment. People described that it sounded like a car or airplane was coming at them at full speed, so they instinctively ran away from the roads. People further away didn’t see or hear anything, they just saw a crowd running in panic and so they ran as well. I was maybe 50-100m away from where it happened, and all we heard was noise, yells, and then people running, so the people around me also started running, but we all stopped after maybe 5s.
A lot of people think that our overlord wanted to cause a stampede which would lead to thousands of injuries and just chaos in order to discredit the protests. Or maybe they wanted to launch the cannon after the 15 mins of silence were over, which would cause mass confusion since nobody would have any idea what was going on, but triggered it early. In any case, the psychopath used an illegal weapon to attack people literally standing still and being quiet.
If by “fight” you mean “defend” … You can build a shield to reflect it: https://www.vice.com/en/article/audio-engineers-built-a-shield-to-deflect-police-sound-cannons/ Details here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rnaSvs_WMYmlymEBa2R8fFxBu4apEjH4uX9lRcib1ZM
Btw, this is about microwave weapons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lg_aUOSLuRo
Fortunately once people are aware of such tricks, they won’t be effective anymore
Here’s an educational video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXKTBQBugIA
Sound is moving air and carries energy. With the right frequency and intensity it could definitely physically fuck you up even if your ears are covered.
Wikipedia:
Studies have found that exposure to high intensity ultrasound at frequencies from 700 kHz to 3.6 MHz can cause lung and intestinal damage in mice
Americans, take notes. The US government will use these tactics to disrupt protest, no doubt about it.
No, they’ll just shoot us or take us to a black site. They’re not that clever.
There’s also this alternate view from the top:

And let’s be honest: Whoever uses a weapon like that in a crowd like that is playing with lifes. That can led to a crowd panic, which will kill people.
Well it’s good to see that Serbia hasn’t changed much since Arkan left.
