    Imagining non-profits buying them to shield young women from anti-abortion protestors as they walk into clinics.

    Couple with earplugs + studio monitors at high volume and you can significantly protect against bad actors, as long as they don’t assault you.

        Modern update to a technology we’ve had since 2500 BC!

        I see the problem with upper classes eliminating homeless people with them.

        What rubs you the wrong way about using it against people who’re hoping to actively interfere with your life?

          Because you are silencing peaceful protesters. If they start actively blocking you that’s a different story but to protest something you find unethical is not a bad thing.

            The government should absolutely not inhibit peaceful protests.

            A private person spending a bunch of money to pretend nobody is yelling at them for making an already heartbreaking decision is a pretty epic trump card.
