Incoming! The Care and Feeding of “Peaceful Protestors” Rioting in Your Neighborhood
byVanderleunonAugust 30, 2020
It’s late at night in your neighborhood, your Mr. Rogers suburban neighborhood, suddenly you are woken up by “peaceful protestors” in a mob in the middle of your street. They’ve got their bullhorns and their slogans and their heavy metal rap. They are screaming “SILENCE EQUALS VIOLENCE” and ‘GET OUT OF THOSE HOUSES. YOU DIDN’T EARN THEM. WE NEED THEM OUR OPPRESSORS BECAUSE REPARATIONS!”
You know, the usual cascade of insults and threats. But stop. Think. Consider those poor “peaceful protestors” and their oppression and pain and thirst and hunger. They’ve marched a long way from their base in the city and they are, if anything, hungry. In fact, the reason they are being so unpleasant to you is probably due to the fact that they are all hungry, or “hangry.” Just feeding them may cool them out and you have a Judeo/Christian/Taoist/Muslim duty to feed the hungry.
The question becomes — since we are dealing with the “peaceful protestors” — how to feed them with equality of opportunity, but also “equal outcome.” After all, that’s one of the sacred texts they believe in and you gotta respect that, right? Right.
Here’s how.
Do you remember all those canned goods that you laid in along with bricks of ammo when this Chinese virus invasion started? If you are like me you have so many canned goods you cannot contemplate ever eating that many Spaghettios and Campbell’s Baked Beans and Spam. You’ve considered donating these canned goods to the Food Bank but its already full. Not a problem, the mob in front of your house deserves to be fed instead.
Working with your neighbors and your local volunteer security through a pre-arranged series of texts simply carry your canned goods overstock into your backyard and at a co-ordinated moment launch those cans at angles over the roof of your house and into the mob. (If you have an advanced sense of humor hurl a few can-openers with them.)
A cloudburst of canned goods dropping onto a mob from above like manna from heaven should solve their hunger issues for the rest of the night. If it doesn’t you can give them some of that surplus ammo you laid in. Either way, it’s all good AND it’s for a good cause.
Alas and alack, the vast majority of the suburbanite defense force has no experience nor practice firing cans from a defilade position.
Most regrettably I suspect few of the projectiles will clear the roof lines, instead most will end up being returned to the houses through patio and bedroom windows.
Hence, simply out of loving kindness, it might be better to deliver the cans to the “peaceful protestors” neighborhoods where broken windows are part of daily life anyway. I’m sure they’ll be ever so grateful.

Does anyone know if the nutritional value of 5.56 increases, or decreases due to 3250FPS velocity? How about double ought? .45ACP?
Can home made napalm be regarded as a garnish, or a sauce?

We’ll let the coyotes clean em up all night long, and in the morning the buzzards will take over, by 5pm they’ll be nasty splotches of animal dung in the cornfields.

What a wonderful idea. A little practice would be most helpful before going into the grocery delivery business. A good education in basic arithmetic, geometry, measurement and graduation will also improve economics and reduce waste.

Why waste baked beans and Spam on rioters? Alpo dog food comes in 13.2-oz cans, which will fit nicely into a backyard slingshot. (Cat food cans are too small to do much damage.)

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

Alternately, Shawn with the Wild shows you how to build a Roman ballista– which, as he notes, was originally designed to “chuck stones, and cannon balls, and fireballs– and the occasional human head.”

Wonderful idea but I agree that “direct” rather than “indirect ” would be much more accurate.
