How to kill a Weeping Angel

Step 1. Do not under-estimate the Weeping Angel. It is quite a formidable enemy. Keep eye contact at all times, do not turn your back, do not look away, and do not blink.

Step 2. While maintaining eye contact with the Weeping Angel, retrieve a 10-pound sledgehammer.

Step 3. Hit the Angel on the head repeatedly, till it breaks off and shatters.

Step 4. Repeat step 3 as necessary until all Angels are disposed of.

Step 5. It is now safe to blink. Do so immediately, to prevent the drying of your eyes.

Step 6. Look at the remains of the Angels. If you destroyed the head properly, there should be a blood-pool shaped piece of stone lying on the ground, and the Angel should be dead.

It's just natural that humans (and other intelligent creatures) are affraid of someone/-what who/which is harder, better, faster or stronger than them...and they might think about killing him/it just for beeing shure.

On the other hand: wouldn't it be a pitty if the whole humankind got stuck in a wibbidy-wobbedy-time-loop? Allways between the sixties and 2008, the children of the back-in time traveled getting sent back themselves, the history getting rewritten over and over - not considering the huge overpopulation... I have to stop before my mind melts down while trying to imagine that.

Yeah, just some civil rights, thats just a lot simpler.

Can weeping angels look at mirrors? I wonder whether that would freeze them until the mirror was broke or moved

Might work. Because an image of an angel becomes itself an angel, so the mirrored image would be like another angel looking straight at the original. So, it sounds plausible to me.

This Techniqe sounds just great.
But as i know the Dr.Who-Universe, creatures who are so much evolved as the weping angels, don't turn just to stone - such a unstable material. Well it looks like stone, but maybe it is just a camouflage like the tardis as police box, which can not be destroyed by ordinary force like the hordes of dschingis kahn... maybe

I always thought a vat of acid, or lava or a drop from a skyscraper might be good after they have looked at each other cause I thought, what if someone moved the angels so they are no longer looking at each and they somehow managed to fuel up with some time energy, could they possibly move again?
