Belgrade, Serbia: sonic wave attack during protest (March 15th, 2025)
Belgrade authorities have used sound weapons on the crowd of protesters. The video description has some educational links.
There are lots of videos around.
Seems like peaceful protest is no longer an option. They just forced people to go for the second option.
Well it's good to see that Serbia hasn't changed much since Arkan left.
Edit: /s
Honestly, we avoided a massive tragedy at that moment. People described that it sounded like a car or airplane was coming at them at full speed, so they instinctively ran away from the roads. People further away didn't see or hear anything, they just saw a crowd running in panic and so they ran as well. I was maybe 50-100m away from where it happened, and all we heard was noise, yells, and then people running, so the people around me also started running, but we all stopped after maybe 5s.
A lot of people think that our overlord wanted to cause a stampede which would lead to thousands of injuries and just chaos in order to discredit the protests. Or maybe they wanted to launch the cannon after the 15 mins of silence were over, which would cause mass confusion since nobody would have any idea what was going on, but triggered it early. In any case, the psychopath used an illegal weapon to attack people literally standing still and being quiet.
Fortunately once people are aware of such tricks, they won't be effective anymore
@europe would earplugs work for this?
Americans, take notes. The US government will use these tactics to disrupt protest, no doubt about it.
Some police forces have used sound cannons against protesters, for example during the 2009 G20 Pittsburgh summit,[7] the 2014 Ferguson unrest,[8] and the 2016 Dakota Access Pipeline protest in North Dakota,[9] among others.
No, they'll just shoot us or take us to a black site. They're not that clever.
These systems are developed in the US too. Look up LRAD
Agents provocateur are much easier and less obvious. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
There's also this alternate view from the top:

And let's be honest: Whoever uses a weapon like that in a crowd like that is playing with lifes. That can led to a crowd panic, which will kill people.
That may have been the point: cause stampede, people die, ban protests, "LRAD? What's that?"
Crazy shit. Expect this nonsense to hit US rallies as well.
Comment and upvote boys, not reddit, no meta, not shitter, not legacy media will report on this. This is why we exist
A thread about this is literally pinned on r/europe.
Edit: Also on front page of r/popular with >66k upvotes.
I got links to videos on Twitter (although I didn't use that shit so maybe they are deleted by now), saw multiple post on Reddit and the video here is hosted on f***ing Youtube.
Yes, a lot of those are shit in general and should be avoided. But somehow it seems they are still not shitty enough if you have to invent bullshit about how they all refuse to report on this.
Yes brave oppositional soul. But when it starts being taken down on the others we will stand tall.
So what did the government do, planes/jets? Says sound cannon, what is that? And furthermore, WTF! A peacefull protest, what were they trying to achieve? How sad do you have to be to order this action, let alone to actually do this as an employee??
LRAD. Wouldn't surprise me if they were field testing the gear for the yanks or whoever. Would also explain why they did it in the middle of a "moment of silence".
LRAD isn't some super fancy tech. Don't let them use this to spread anti-western bullshit and divide the movement. This is what Putin and his cronies want.

What the actual fuck.
It's still not entirely clear to me: did the government really use these weapons? I don't recognize enough from the photos. :( And don't understand myself in such weapons either. What I would like to add to the conversation, however, is that Novak Djokovic and several other prominent athletes FINALLY support the protests.
It's not really the type of weapon that you can just buy off the shelf (for such a scale).
What kind of bastards! They were protesting with silence!
Wild.
