I was thinking if you were getting a lot of false positives, especially with loyalists that could make it a problem

it would be better if everyone including the cops were all sprayed so the use of blue dye to highlight individuals would be impossible

Hey.. so based on my experience from the two previous HN articles this was mentioned in, in the previous hours, this submission will be flagged off the front page shortly. (Like in 5-10 minutes from now.)

You may wish to contact HN/YC about this.

Here are the previous threads:
