Decoy Earthmoving Equipment and Gates

 We need Chains and we need Chains now.

There's a protest going on at the moment over a Freeway Extension in my city. Protesters are chaining themselves to earthmoving equipment and gates as a way of impeding work on the project. It takes the police a considerable amount of time and aggravation to cut them free.

My service would be to hire out decoy equipment to be parked on site in such a manner that, after the protesters are securely fastened, the real equipment can get past them to start the project. The units don't have to function so don't require engines etc as they could be towed into position.

       Just start up the equipment with the hapless hippies still attached. They'll soon get the hint and move on.

       Alternatively, just put a couple of drops of superglue in their padlocks and wait until the weather turns cold.

       Quicker, put a few drops of superglue into their nostrils and their lips, and wait until movement ceases.   

       If the climate's warm, what about fire ants ? Cheap, simple, very persuasive.

       You've got the wrong end of the globe there Old Chap. It's going to be 41C today. (No fire ants required).

       Just the two-metre diameter convex lens, then ...

       Ah yes, I was forgetting Australia's perverse insistence on having its seasons exactly 180° out of sync. It's not big, and it's not clever.

       Love this idea, I'd like to see it carried a step further.   

       Put out fake stories to occupy the self appointed ruling class, finger wagging morality police.   

       "Republicans declare that homeless puppy meat is a valuable protein source that can be sold to the poor for inflated prices to enhance the bank accounts of the rich."   

       Give 'em something to live for and keep 'em busy so they're out of the way while the adults go about the day to day work of running a civilization.   

       Everybody wins.
