Well, well, well. This was only a matter of time.

To me this is two issues. First off I agree tear gas being used on protests is just bad. Heck even without the gas I remember a G7 summit in Quebec City where a resident got a cracked skull from a canister walking out their apartment building.


The bit about the Geneva Convention is a bit irrelevant since ironically the one group you are not supposed to use it on are issued gas masks and in some cases full "bunny suits) that make it largely irrelevant.

Signatory militaries also don't even comply when it comes to their own troops. Most common example of this is in the Canadian Armed Forces they used tear gas for gas attack drills in basic training.

I wonder how he would have responded if tear gas had been used against the Jan. 6 rioters?

It is interesting how it can be used by the police against American citizens but not enemy combatants in wartime.

Does an illegal alien that by definition is not from this country have any constitutional rights? The constitution was for legal immigrants right? Or do they apply once they’re citizens? Does it even state this in the constitution?

Any violent protest is directly against the government so this could be considered something like the incident on Jan 6?

Some people shouldn't be allowed anything more complicated than crayons to express themselves
