It’s just a regular ol’ smoke grenade like the military uses for signaling. At least so say some people on the ground in Minneapolis who recovered one of the canisters.
If you can see it, it’s easier to blow back with a leaf blower.
“The green dyed smoke suggests high toxicity to protesters,” he adds, “but the effect is more psychological.”
This isn’t saying that it’s not toxic or dangerous, it’s just pointing out that once again they are adding in psychological terrorism, which should be of no surprise to anyone who knows how much these pathetic evil fuckers rely on kayfabe. They are adding fucking green dye for a dramatic flair.
They’re dangerous, and you can’t underestimate them, but don’t forget they’re hoping to put you in trauma by being as fucking overblown and dramatic as possible. Consider it a deliberate cutesy attempt to add insult to injury for the benefit of their own ego.
If you know how mentally ill narcissists operate, you should understand the thrill they get from terrifying a captive audience.
They’re not even the first dramatic little bitches to use green gas. They just ripped off the fucking Joker and Smylex because nothing they do is even original.
Whatever this is, tear gas, cs gas, is not harmless as is often thought. It causes permanent damage, and is actually a nerve agent, different than what we call nerve agents, but it hits pain receptors in nerves.
Likewise pepper spray would not cause permanent damage but I heard it is often mixed with pfas and other poisonous shit but idk on that source, the tear gas bit was in propublica in 2020 during the blm protests.
tldr
We don’t know what gas grenade it is or what’s in it. But there is old data from grenades that look similar, and those old grenades are safer than normal tear gas grenades.
But we don’t actually know what they are. They could be anything.
Thank you. It’s missing everything someone would expect to be explained in the article. Very click-baity. I’m thinking MJ should not have published this one.
It’s proprietary Soylent Green flavoring.
It’s called seasoning.
Whatever it is, every ice agent should be forced into a room filled with it.
I can’t speak to their training processes, but I went through a room full of tear gas during my Navy CBRN training and it was not particularly pleasant but quite survivable. I’m not sure such mild conditions are quite what’s needed in the case of ICE agents.
And then leave em there. Like, just lock the door and walk away.
Right. No food. No water. Not my problem.
Greg Bovino is the Green Goblin!
Spider Man reboot to an all new grittier universe!
all new
grittiergriftier universe!Is this too serious for you to treat it seriously (tbf everyone has different coping mechanisms) or why are you mocking the situation?
It really should be said that this expert is talking out of his ass here. He hasn’t positively identified the specific gas being used, just a similar product by the same manufacturer, and he definitely hasn’t actually measured nor tested the gas at the scene. It’s an educated guess, but still a guess.
What you described isn’t “talking out of his ass”. It’s making a logical hypotheses based on the info provided. You even contradict yourself by calling it an educated guess.
I say that because, from a safety perspective, his advice should absolutely not be relied on when determining whether or not the gas currently being used is safe.
Technically you’re right, I guess.
Interesting choice of a colour for the smoke grenades they have.
Just need to find spider man. If he can’t, well innocent bystanders are just collateral damage.
