Should be treated like they are? Okay, so full outrage, comparisons to the Kent State massacre, and the administration facing reprisals and consequences for deploying snipers to intimidate, threaten, and potentially murder students.

We're treating them like they're snipers, Admin, you're welcome.

Aye thanks for this. The first pic was up for interpretation. Also WTF?

The image may be ligit but please temper your outrage until the facts are clear.

Is that "not at all a sniper" wearing pantyhose over their head?

If they should be treated like snipers, that means protesters should respond in kind:

Make smoke screens. Tires work best. Bicycle tire with gas will make thick black smoke making it hard for the spotter and sniper to see.

Force projection works both ways: make their advantages into disadvantages. Snipers are long range units, meaning they have to be away from what they are targeting. If you can create enough distractions they won't be able to see the forest from the trees.

All in Minecraft, of course.

Tire smoke is generally not good to be breathing in. Better idea would be tarps.

Tarps will produce a similarly toxic smoke.

Tire Smoke > Bullets

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

I'd rather breath tire smoke than get shot.

I dunno about the smoke. On top of probably seeming to be an escalation because you'd be burning stuff (I'd probably go with fog oil and a generator instead, only object is price, but, hey, tires can also get pretty expensive depending on where they're sourced. Theater department might also have some stuff on em), but also a large amount of smoke might serve to obfuscate documentation and recording, which I would say is a pretty big priority. Keep a camera fixed on these snipers at all times, and you can tell when they're firing and probably who's been killed at what moment, and that's maybe an important and large deterrent, compared to a smokescreen. I'd imagine if you were going with that and if it came to that, you'd just want to render the snipers ineffectual by other methods, which, you know, maybe your mind can wander about how you might accomplish that one, without me having to suggest a specific course of action there.

Yeah, you’re putting snipers on a university aimed at the students. That’s not the behavior of a government that values personal freedoms like speech and assembly.

Free speech on college campuses means they have to pay bigots to speak and allow disruption from religious protests by non students, but students get riot cops and snipers for protesting genocide

So climb the building and eliminate the threat? How else do you deal with snipers?
