Chemical weaponry is used against Occupy Wall Street protesters – on U.S. Streets. The production, use, and sale of these and other military weapons is market driven and the ideological mindset that permits the codification of indefinite detention and the use of high-tech weaponry to target �covered� people will always speak of the need for safety against �enemies,� �criminals,� �terrorists.�
