Seems like the ANC is trying the mother of all flashbangs with this.

I'd say it's more akin to thermal detonator threat :)

I will give the new guy some credit and its a game afoot. Saw an article claiming most S. Africans don't really care that much about it and this EFF party has a bit of a history of this kind of shenanigan.

Well... sounds like it's time to get out of the stock market again.

He obviously has no clue as to what he's talking about

There are not many hard and fast rules in economics. But this is one of them: All costs are ultimately paid by the consumer. Any action that increases the cost of producing a product raises the price of the product and hurts the consumer of the product. 

 

You'd think a man with a business background would have a better grasp on a concept like that.

His business background is in real estate though, I don't think he's ever actually dealt directly with anything that deals with material products.

His business background is actually in bankruptcy and getting bailed out by his dad/banks.

If Trump himself is going to go around fro a year trumpeting the state of stock market as some sort of trump card of his administration, it's certainly fair to point out that the stock market is now going down due to his explicit decisions.

I think I have a billion dollar idea...auto-taser turrets. Scene: A crazed gunman is observed on CCTV approaching or breaching the door to the school. An alarm is activated and all students and locked in the classrooms and ordered to shelter in place. Equipped with the finest FLIR and LIDAR, these turrets (with gatling style barrels for multiple shots) would drop from the ceiling of every hallway, autonomously go into search mode, and fire upon anything living until the all clear is sounded. Win / win!

Oh snap, my brain is on fire today! You know how every public building is required by law to have fire suppression sprinklers? Now picture another sprinkler right next to the water sprinkler, but this sprinkler dispenses pepper spray! Mook enters hallway --> flood hallway with pepper spray. Man, I need to patent this stuff before someone ganks me like they did with my net shooting drone idea. :p

Who knows, maybe Trump will end up the hero who finally brought down American capitalism. Drain the swamp! Drain the swamp! Drain the swamp!

Well, assuming the automated recognition can be trusted (and the authorities even care about that), not sure tasers would work well with a multi barrel set up, the cables can get tangled up well. 

 

They should just provide the teachers with flashbangs.

I say forget the turrets. Put one of these in every school. Roosevelt Academy in Maryland had one
