re a message for you mr president how do you know what happened in article c scqi by apollo hp com goykhman apollo hp com red herring writes in article bskendigc rcbg azp netcom com bskendig netcom com brian kendig writes they used a tank to knock a hole in the wall and they released non toxic non flammable tear gas into the building non toxic tear gas do you know what tear gas is i do once upon a time i happened to be in a room when someone threw a tear gas grenade in that was supposed to be a joke the sensation was incredible i felt my eyes and nostrils were being torn apart i remember us a bunch of young men in our early s running out like a herd of wild animals knocking down the door and jumping out of the windows thank g d we were on the first floor i can t imagine this kind of stuff being used against children for them the worst effect might not be the physical effects so much as the psychological effect of being incapacitated without fully understanding the cause many years ago i was accidentally exposed to a tiny dose of tear gas it was in athens on the street leading to the american embassy there d been a march that had been broken up with tear gas i must have stumbled into a remaining patch of gas the next day aside from the tears feeling sick to my stomach etc the really horrible psychological effect was that of suddenly falling to pieces and not knowing why it had happened i was horrified and wondered what disease or other health problem i had i didn t find out about the march and the tear gas till hours later i can imagine how horribly disorienting this might be to very young children suddenly crying uncontrollably and feeling sick weak and out of control of your body and not knowing the cause this gives us a chance to try the gas of peace yeah right bob ingria
