| Israel Presents ‘Roar’: A New Non-Lethal Crowd Dispersal Means |
| 2019-04-01 |
| [Jpost] The new device, named ’Roar,’ was used during Saturday festivities along the Gazoo Border. Israel had developed a new non-lethal method to disperse crowds called ’Roar’ [in Hebrew, Sheaga], Arutz Sheva reported on Sunday. The device uses radio waves. Not much had been published on the new system. It is likely to be derived from existing Long Range Acoustic Devices [LRAD] which emit warning tunes at a very high frequency humans cannot tolerate and may cause long-term damage to hearing if exposed to over time. LRAD has been used since 2009. Non-lethal methods to disperse crowds include sticky riot foam and high-impact water cannons. |

| #13 Might be worth investing in hearing aides in the west bank. |

| #12 With an M58 Mine Clearing Line Charge (MICLIC) you could break up demonstrations and clear a lane for the troops with the flame throwers. |

| #11 re #9: Yeah - a Ma Deuce or three will definitely cut down on future riots. |

| #10 And if you're feeling particularly nasty, mine flail tanks will make the riot an experience nobody will forget. |

| #9 Honestly, non lethal just leads to more riots and disturbances. M134's and flamethrowers will eliminate riots for at least 2 generations. |

| #8 Non-lethal methods to disperse crowds include sticky riot foam and high-impact water cannons. First bath for many Paleos in months, I'm sure... |

| #7 This sounds similar to the microwave set that made people feel as if their skin was on fire. It was non-lethal and effective so Obama made it illegal to use. |

| #5 Db Intensity is of interest to myself. 2500 most have normal hearing but 4000 loss is most common. Boom booms will do some damage. Ringing after high Dbs if damaged ringing occurs. Ringing might go away or might not ever go away. |

| #4 I think the frequency of the emitted sound is about 2500 Hertz. At this frequency, the decibel level decreases pretty quickly with distance from the source so protesters at the border fence suffer a lot but those 100 meters away are just annoyed. |
