LifestreamWould-be fascist UK has a new tool against “loitering youths” in the “Sonic Teenager Deterrent.” Apparently loitering is a cause of major social problems in Britain unlike racism against and genocide of foreign peoples which is just considered business as usual. No word yet on how many of the loitering youths were so pissed off they proceeded to kick the crap out of the old geezer who operated the Deterrent.
A more practical reason to deter young people of course is that they have no credit and no buying power. Next up: The “Window Shopper Deterrent” or the “I’m just looking Deterrent.” As for terrorizing people into being consumers this is going a long way towards terrorizing them not to be. Come to think of it, I call for these annoying little buzzers at every major shopping center. Perhaps we can teach kids a lesson about consumer culture. I welcome the social experiment and would very much like to see how much of the same culture needs to be instilled virtually from the cradle in order to work at “peak efficiency.”
Yes you may have made a few valid points, it could prove useful in 1 or 2 situations but unfortuently you have overlooked dozens of reasons why this will never be a long lasting device

These are not in anyway responsible for beating up shop owners..yet you say they should be subjected to such ear piercing sounds?
Strenght of the device…Like many objects that "prevent" hostile activities (locked gates, security guards etc..) they are one savage beating away from being rendered useless
you spend however much this ghastly item costs and within a few days of pissing off some kids i guarantee it will be destroyed beyond recognition
If you are awaiting this "social experiment" then i pity your worthless existance and i suggest you get a hobby
The sarcasm seems to have passed you by. What part of "fascist UK" didn’t you catch on to? I welcome the experiment because I am confident it will carry considerable blowback and I do live for Schadenfreude and I do carry a resentment towards capitalism. Sorry if that wasn’t expressed clearly enough. Of course I think this is a horrible idea. I don’t for a moment think that it will work and the long term effects will no doubt be bad public relations for the shopkeepers.
