This is what the leftist agitators have caused from their original bogus THAAD protests; now everyone thinks these missile defense radars rain radiation over everyone located near them which is not true. This is like the new fan death myth:
The Air Force launched a surprise operation on Tuesday to install an anti-missile radar on a mountain in the southeastern city of Busan, sparking angry protests from residents concerned about potential health hazards from the radar’s electromagnetic waves.
Police clashed with a group of protesters early Tuesday on Mt. Jang in the city, 450 kilometers southeast of Seoul, where the Air Force began installing a Green Pine land-based radar at around 6 a.m. Four people were arrested following repeated dispersion orders.
“We condemn the defense ministry for pushing ahead with the radar installation which the residents object to,” a representative of the protesting group said.
The Air Force did not notify local authorities of the operation in advance in an apparent attempt to avoid obstruction from local resident and activists, who have raised concerns over potentially harmful effects of electromagnetic waves from the radar.

You can read more at the link, but probably the most offensive thing about the anti-THAAD protesters is that it is based on lies that the electromagnetic waves from the radar are going to cause cancer and kill crops. These Green Pine protesters are falling for the same propaganda.
If the residents want to go measure electromagnetic waves they can do it right now. They can purchase their own detection device and stand at their homes or farms and see what electromagnetic waves they detect. They are not going to detect anything though because a group of Korean reporters were invited to a THAAD site and have already measured electromagnetic waves and found nothing. What is even dumber about this is that South Korea already has for years multiple Green Pine radars installed. It would be very easy to see if people are getting cancer and crops are dying in those locations.
This is simply not in my backyard protests that likely would not be happening if the leftist agitators had not protested and promoted false propaganda about the Korean THAAD site.
