Urban Anarchism part 1: Gear
Some things are essential when you're fucking with people. For one, you should wear all black. And while we're presuming that it's night (and it should be), bring some flashlights along, too. Don't use them unless it's an emergency, but they ARE handy. Finally, a good sturdy backpack is absolutely essential. You gotta carry all this shit, remember. The rest of your supplies really depends on your personal taste. Be creative. Here are some suggestions:
PAINTBALL GUNS: If you have a paintball gun, the evening can become suddenly magical. A paintball gun - even just a crappy Brass Eagle Talon or something - gives you a vast tactical advantage. Not only can you use it to damage property and vandalize stuff, but if you find yourself up shit creek, it can quickly become your paddle - when being pursued by an authority figure, nothing makes them lose interest in the matter more than a few painful paintballs hitting exposed skin. If you've got twenty bucks, go out and get one of those kiddie paintball guns - the investment repays itself in satisfaction.
SPRAYPAINT: For when you want to leave your own special mark. Just make sure nobody's looking when you engage in your little bout of alternative art, because people have an annoying habit of calling the cops, releasing their dogs, getting a firearm, etc.
STINKBOMBS: Aah... never forget the classics. And who could forget the lovable stinkbomb, that immortal prank that did so much to get us through our middle teen years? Memories... but I digress. These are just perfect for open windows. If there's a screen, feel free to set the thing off right next to the window - some lucky wind and their whole house smells horrible. And if there isn't a screen, go ahead and throw it on in! Best if mixed with a hasty retreat afterwards.
ARTILLERY: My good friend Phil has had some interesting ideas involving home-made heavy weapons. One prototype he tried was basically a model rocket kit, except the launch pad was placed through a long tube, thus allowing it to be shoulder fired. It didn't work, but the design is sound. Viola! Your own RPG! Try packing the rocket's nosecone with match heads, I'll bet that'll really add to your enjoyment. Another cool idea was the pneumatic mortar - hook another long tube up to a pneumatic pump, and then prop it up with something. Now you can fire soda cans, like, a hell of a long distance. This would do LOTS of damage to peoples' property. We never got any of this shit to work, but hey, maybe you guys will. E-mail me if you have any luck.
