Non-lethal weapons stink.

Well - not really, but this one does:

The weapon, nicknamed "The Skunk," is a foul-smelling liquid which is sprayed on the protesters, compelling them to leave the scene to escape the smell.

Without digging in the nature of the conflict - it stinks even without those "skunk bombs" , i think that for a while it is going to be very efficient. In Hebrew article i read that it can remain on clothes for up to five years. But since it is a chemical i guess that there should be a way to neutralize the smell.
I can foresee the jokes, analogies and other possibilities for serious political debating on the subject but anyway, better then bullets. And since it took 4 years for development and different tests i hope that it is proved to be indeed less toxic then tear gas. Soon to be released on world markets?
Skunks of the world, unite in crowd-control management! And yes, i know it is synthetic.

I just lift my leg,
and pee on his foot....

(that always makes them leave)
