Neighbors chase ICE away. They get gassed.

This is located in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago, close to Fullerton and Sheffield. It's a densely populated area near DePaul University. I'm pleased to see the community standing up against these despicable individuals.

1. 1 of the richest neighborhoods in the city.

does my heart good.

6. I think the selection of this neighborhood was intentionally because of that

Just as ICE's the early mass of ICE on Michigan Ave. They are quickly trying to make even rich, white people know that Trump and these thugs have all the power and his thugs hate all people not like them.

2. Those are American Citizens

This is a shameful act.

3. Cowards

Couldn’t handle some screaming and loud whistling. They to gas them. Good job, Lakeview!

[paleotn]

4. THAT is what real Americans do.

Throw the tear gas back at them.

5. These ICE goons violated Federal Judge Sara Ellis' TRO (temporary restraining order) prohibiting the use

of chemical agents like tear gas on crowds of protesters that do not present an imminent violent threat. These agents should be arrested for violating a court order.

7. They'll just claim the neighbors were a violent threat.

Like they lie when they kidnap people and claim they were assaulted.

[peacebuzzard]

12. I fear the goons may actually start killing peaceful resisters

and turn scenarios like this into oppressor raids

8. Tear gas is a chemical weapon banned in war

... Dr. Robert Glatter, an emergency physician in New York City told USA TODAY that tear gas isn’t necessarily a “gas” but rather a powder that is heated and mixed with a solvent and released as an aerosol.

Glatter said tear gas not only irritates cells, but also activates pain receptors, which leads to intense burning pain in the eyes, throat, lungs, skin and mucous membranes. Tear gas can also cause exaggerated muscle cramping in the eye and sensitivity to light that leads to eye closure.

Other effects of tear gas include a difficulty in swallowing, drooling and severe burning in the mouth. In some cases, it can cause an asthma attack or swelling in the area that could potentially lead to asphyxiation or death.

Dr. Kelly Johnson-Arbor, medical director at National Capital Poison Center, told USA TODAY that picking up tear gas canisters can cause burn injuries because canisters can detonate, which exposes people to propellants, solvents and explosives ...

The 1925 Geneva Protocol categorized tear gas as a chemical warfare agent and banned its use in war shortly after World War I. The protocol was signed at a conference held in Geneva and took effect on Feb. 8, 1928, according to the United Nations website ...

13. Yes, it is.

This was a big deal back in the early (and sometimes not so early) days of the Iraq War.

For crowd control they couldn't use tear gas. But they could use high-velocity lead. This was regarded as a pyrrhic victory by some, an unintended consequence.

... De pie, cantar que vamos a triunfar.
Avanzan ya
