This happened to a friend of mine in DC yesterday. Be careful out there. Remember to bring respirators and goggles, especially if you're going to a DC protest! (r.50501.chat)

This is notable enough, with plenty of witnesses, that there should be third party reporting on it.

Not seeing anything yet.

Kind of my point there. Unsourced report on social media that ought to damn well have a lot of people corroborating it, but apparently doesn't? That's how propaganda works.

I'm taking my gas mask to protests from now on.

Just remember that will likely get you trumped up charges if you do get arrested.

Bring. It. I'm still showing out armed and armored.

Check the laws in your area. There are lots of places (states) where being armed (with anything, not just firearms) at a "protest" is illegal.
