- What is Freedom of Speech?
- What is a "Free Speech Zone"?
- What is an "Unlawful Assembly"?
- Should we allow "Sonic Weapons" to be used on peaceful protesters?
- How can we stop the militarization of the police?
- How can we stop the erosion of our "Freedom of Speech"?
- Do we really live in a "FREE" country?
These are some of the questions every American should be asking themselves.
What is an LRAD System?
The Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) is an acoustic hailing device developed by the LRAD Corporation to send messages and warning tones over longer distances or at higher volume than normal loudspeakers. The LRAD system is the first "sonic weapon" to be used by The United States against its own citizens.
The LRAD system was used for the first time on protesters in the USA at the G20 Summit (Pittsburgh) (2009). Should we allow sonic weapons to be used on American citizens?
