Shit just got real.

Texting back and forth a friend in Oakland earlier tonight while she was making her way to the downtown ymca after work she had said people were getting shot at. I texted her back "yea that sounds about right" thinking she was just fucking arround...turns out she wasn't.

I have an issue with these kinds of videos. It does NOT show what led up to it. I am NOT saying it was justified....only that I can NOT make a decision based on that video.

 

Yup, they might have deserved it, they might have not.... just showing what went down.

“It sounded like bombs,” said Joaquin Jutt, 24, a digital animator who was among the protesters on Tuesday night. “There was a stinging and burning in my throat, eyes and nostrils. My eyes burned like there was hot sauce in them.”

 

:rolleyes:

According to this, a two tour iraq veteran was hit in the head by a tear gas canister, and is now in critical condition with a skull fracture and swelling brain.

 

Sounds like a riot about to start.

lol.. MEDIC!

 

Protesters guide to less lethal force.

 

1)make sure your bike helmet is securely affixed to your head

2) no man is left behind (GET THAT FIXXIE OUTTA HERE)

3) call for medic

4) Make sure to alert the enemy to your location by telling them "we're still here"

 

On a more serious note that guy is an Iraqi vet and now has a skull fx.
