I think the "event" is 3AM tonight or something I've heard. But yeah, I'm guessing like 2-3 people try to casually walk over.

If it were real, the best military answer is actually those short-wave microwave crowd deterrents. Just one humvee could make 100,000k run away crying in SJ unison. It makes your skin feel like it's on fire.

Probably not "authorized" for US deployment though, I'm sure there's minute health risks associated with it (as there is with any other form of crowd control)
