The ultimate weapon agains those idiotic "Rolling coal" blowers

Meet the giant Chinese mist cannon!


This is a "mist buster." It's being used in the city of Zhangjiakou in Hebei province—a city dealing with pollution. And dealing with it using a giant water cannon.

According to ChinaNews, it can spray a mist of water at least 100 meters far and 60 meters high. And yes, that's a military vehicle that's shooting mist into the air to combat smog.

you could be in for some serious legal trouble.

Why do people think criminal behavior is ok if our side does it?

I don't think the suggestion was meant to be taken seriously.
