They just heavily gassed.

@TheGreatLlama @alissaazar doctors are not pepper growers now are they? Do you want to be temporarily blinded at a protest by listening to doctor or do you want keep fighting and listen to a pepper grower who is telling you to put the damned milk in your eyes? There ya go. Aint gonna argue with stupidity.
@praetor @alissaazar
I've specifically heard this from doctors who provide aid at protests. I've also known plenty of doctors who are gardeners.Do what you like for your own part, I just felt it was better to counteract unsafe health advice.
️ Personally, I'll stick with water and avoid the infection. -

The feds shot out a local residents window this evening with these munitions that they also shot at people. I’m not sure that I’ve seen these before, does anybody recognize? (Not my photos)
One kind of looks like a 40mm foam round but that wood looking stuff??

Thanks to Macron.

I’m so stuck on the amount of children teargassed. I cannot even imagine how traumatizing this must be.
There were so many children at the park earlier. There were thousands and thousands of people out. I didn’t see any children near the gate where I was standing but that didn’t even matter. The teargas reached the park, blocks away. More and more people are telling me their gas hardly worked.
@alissaazar What happens when the wind changes and the gas blows into say, a Christian nationalist church event or a politician's $10,000 a plate dinner funded by a developer?

Some of the teargas deployed tonight was expired. (They expire 5 years from the manufacture date)

@alissaazar for accuracy's sake, mfg often refers to the manufactured date not expiry, I'm not an expert though
(also huge huge thanks for the information you're getting out, wishing you safety)

@bounding_star correct and they expire 5 years from manufactured date

@bounding_star hmm there are some reports iirc that suggest they are even worse. But I will have to look tomorrow or something haven’t been able to shake this headache and screen isn’t helping lol

Tonight’s collection of spent munitions
@alissaazar “Safariland”? Am I reading this right? Are they shooting actual hunting munitions at protesters?!?
-
Will upload camera pics when I get home but for now here’s a pic on the camera. Pointing munitions at faces. Will share stuff as I can it took a million tries to upload last pic
@alissaazar That is seriously scary

@alissaazar @bounding_star Thanks for all you are doing to get the word out. Take care of yourself. Maybe get checked out after all that gas?

@LukefromDC @alissaazar c'mon. We know the answer to this one. It's the protester's fault. If they'd just stayed home, none of this would have been necessary.

@bougiewonderland @alissaazar it's a South African munitions company

@alissaazar You really should use a burner phone for this. They are tracking everything you do.

@alissaazar
I know wood baton rounds are a thing (used similar to beanbag rounds), but I don't think they look like that. Might be the backer for a foam round the with foam missing? -

@alissaazar
Remember that filters saturate and lose efficacy, generally around eight hours it so — if there's been a lot of gas, folks may not have been changing them enough. -
@alissaazar not sure what material that specific one is, but see what they say for cleaning. May have a bunch of residue on it that prevents a good seal. I have two “identical” 3M ones and one leaks like hell and I’ve never figured out why.
Also, thanks for the updates on this fucking bullshit. We all appreciate your reporting!
Hi, @alissaazar do you want to publish your currently preferred fundraising channels?
I think here are quite some people willing to support you in obtaining the best fitting gas mask you deserve...
digging into your link.tree from your bio, I found
- stripe https://www.wewillfreeus.org/support/
- a venmo
and some cash app account that seems not working anymore (?)anything else? (I think I remember you some months ago about opinions on Liberapay, but I am not sure if it was you)
