How effective would snow/leaf blowers be in this situation? Asking for Portland…
According to the original post, an area of 5 blocks was saturated in chemical irritants. I don’t think a leaf blower is going to do much.
My question is - would a fine mister/sprinkler be capable ofntracking airborne particulates and bringing them down to the road?
Not sure about tear gas but pepper spray is oil based (capsicum oil), so water probably wouldn’t work. iirc flooding the tear gas canisters stops the reaction/release of more gas. I think people were caring around cones, putting them on top of canisters then drenching the contents.
On second thought, maybe some baby shampoo in the water sprayer/mister would be enough to grab onto the chili oils
Nice of them to go back to Portland where a large number of activists probably still have the gear they bought in 2020.
So they just gassed themselves though right? Like what’s it like in that building now?
Not to nitpick, but wouldn’t the ice building technically be under siege?
Under siege, by the people inside that come out and deploy chemical munitions against people exercising their 1st Amendment rights?
How do you define siege?
Siege is where you attack an established position, a stronghold, by surrounding it and cutting off supplies hoping to force a surrender.
There are 2 groups.
One holding signs and wearing inflatibles.
The other using chemical munitions, “less than lethals” in lethal ways, and other types of excessive force.
Right but that implies nothing about a siege.
