On #TearGas, and what it means when the government uses it on civilians.

Excerpt: "I was tear gassed by the government for the first time in July 2020 at one of the many #BlackLivesMatter protests that broke out all over the country. The feeling is excruciating, like your lungs are trying to kill you from the inside out. The sting in your eyes is painful, too. But oddly, after you’ve been tear gassed enough times, you mostly just resent the inconvenience of having to stand around and involuntarily gasp and sob. That summer, I learned the art of walking out of a cloud of tear gas — briskly, but not too briskly, lest you lose breath control and take in a huge huff of aerosolized pain.
"I thought about this five years later, as I watched Trump Attorney General Pam Bondi appear on Fox News after Customs and Border Protection agents killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. 'How did these people go out and get gas masks?' she asked, incredulously. 'These protesters — would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask, right now? Think about that.' "

I found writer Sarah Jeong's article about gas masks and respirators extremely readable, informative, and entertaining in a currently apocalyptic way. 5 stars and only one note: It's a must-read.
Thank YOU, Verge, and Sarah!

Wife and lover jailed for 19 years each after plotting to murder her husband in armed caravan ambush
Michelle Mills and Geraint Berry, both 46, were sentenced after a jury found them guilty of conspiracy to murder Christopher Mills, Michelle’s husband of ten years. The case exposed months of planning, chilling discussions about how to kill him, and a final ambush that only failed because the victim fought back.
A plot to clear the way for an affair
The court heard that Mills and Berry had been in a secret relationship for several months and were desperate to remove Mr Mills from their lives. Detectives uncovered messages showing the pair discussing a range of ways to kill him, from poisoning him in his sleep to staging a shooting or causing his car to explode. The intention, police said, was to make his death look like a suicide so they could continue their relationship without suspicion.
Two failed attempts before the caravan attack
Investigators found that the pair had already made two aborted attempts to attack Mr Mills in late August 2024. Berry injured his knee during one of the failed raids, but the planning continued. Messages between the pair showed Mills encouraging Berry and reassuring him that she would make sure her husband was vulnerable when the time came.
The night the plot came to life
The final attempt took place on 20 September 2024 at a caravan in Cenarth, Ceredigion, where Mills and her husband were staying. Mills encouraged Mr Mills to drink so he would fall asleep, while Berry messaged her moments before he and a second man, Steven Thomas, burst into the caravan wearing masks and carrying imitation firearms.
Despite being beaten, Mr Mills fought back and managed to raise the alarm. Armed officers, dog units and the police helicopter were deployed, and Berry and Thomas were found hiding in nearby undergrowth. Mills herself dialled 999, pretending to be an innocent bystander with no idea why her husband had been targeted.
A fake suicide note and a web of lies
When officers searched Berry and Thomas, they found gas masks, imitation firearms and a typed suicide note purporting to be from Mr Mills. Detectives said this discovery changed the entire direction of the investigation, revealing that the attack was not a random burglary but a planned killing.
Mills continued to deny any involvement, insisting she had no idea why her husband had been attacked. But digital forensic work quickly linked her to Berry and exposed the affair, along with months of messages discussing how to kill her husband. Officers said she never once tried to stop the plot — her only concern was not being caught.

Detective Inspector Sam Gregory said the case had been one of the most disturbing his team had dealt with, describing Mills and Berry as “cold and calculated individuals” who had shown “no remorse for the devastation they caused.”
He said the dramatic twists of the case should not distract from the reality that Christopher Mills’ life was genuinely at risk.
DI Gregory said:
“It is easy to get carried away by the dramatic details in this case, with its many twists and turns, and to forget that there is a victim behind the sensational headlines and lurid media stories.”
He added that the betrayal at the heart of the plot was almost as shocking as the violence itself.
“Mr Mills’ life was truly at risk, and the person he should have been able to trust the most was behind the plans to harm him.”
The detective said the pair had never accepted responsibility for what they had done.
“Despite their not guilty pleas, and claims that the plots to kill Mr Mills were just fabrications, the evidence showed that Mills and Berry’s conspiracy was very real and that there had been multiple attempts to bring their plots to fruition.”
He said the investigation had revealed a level of planning and persistence that left officers in no doubt about the pair’s intentions.
“I believe both Mills and Berry are cold and calculated individuals, who have shown no remorse for their actions despite the devastation they have caused.”
Sentences handed down
Mills and Berry were each jailed for 19 years for conspiracy to murder. Thomas, who had earlier admitted possessing a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence, was sentenced to 12 months — time already served on remand.
DI Gregory said he hoped the sentencing would allow Mr Mills to begin rebuilding his life after what he described as an “unimaginable” ordeal.

Pair guilty of conspiracy to murder after armed caravan attack
A woman and her lover have been convicted of conspiracy to murder following a violent attack on a caravan in Cenarth, Ceredigion.
Michelle Mills, 46, of Llangennech, Llanelli, and Geraint Berry, 46, of Clydach, were found guilty at Swansea Crown Court after a two‑week trial. The court heard the pair had plotted to kill Mills’ husband, Christopher Mills, so they could continue their affair.
A third defendant, Steven Thomas, 47, also of Clydach, was cleared of conspiracy to murder but had earlier admitted possessing a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence.
Armed raid on caravan
The case centred on events on 20 September 2024, when two masked men armed with guns forced their way into Mr Mills’ caravan. Despite being badly beaten, he managed to fight them off and raise the alarm.
Mills herself dialled 999, claiming two unknown men had attacked her husband. Armed officers, dog units and the police helicopter were deployed, and Berry and Thomas were soon found hiding in nearby undergrowth. Officers recovered gas masks and a fake suicide note addressed to Mills, purporting to have been written by her husband.

Affair uncovered
Detectives quickly established that Mills and Berry had been in a secret relationship for around three months. Digital forensic work uncovered a series of messages between them discussing ways to kill Mr Mills, including poisoning him with sleeping tablets, arranging a shooting, or causing his car to explode.
In one exchange, Berry told Mills he was meeting “boys” to plan what to do with her husband. She replied: “Yes, lovely, thank you.” The only concern she expressed was that they should not get caught.
The pair had made two aborted attempts to attack Mr Mills in late August before the September raid. On the night of the attack, Mills encouraged her husband to drink so he would fall asleep, while Berry messaged her moments before bursting into the caravan.
After the failed assault, Mills texted Berry: “Police have been called get away, delete all communications … please on both phones … I love you.”

Detective Inspector Sam Gregory of Dyfed‑Powys Police said digital evidence was crucial in proving the conspiracy.
“The communication between Mills and Berry made it clear that since the end of June 2024, the pair had embarked on a secret relationship. In a short period of time, Berry, encouraged by Mills, became increasingly occupied by hostile thoughts about her husband, and the pair had communicated a number of ways in which they could kill him.”
DI Gregory added that the discovery of gas masks and a fake suicide note showed the pair intended to stage Mr Mills’ death as a suicide.

Mills was arrested shortly after the attack and told officers: “I’m going to prison for this, aren’t I?”
Following the trial, Mills and Berry were convicted of conspiracy to murder. Thomas was acquitted of that charge but will be sentenced for the firearms offence.
DI Gregory said:
“While this case has all the makings of a TV drama, at the heart of it was a very real conspiracy to take someone’s life. Mills and Berry had plotted not one, not two, but three attempts to take Mr Mills’ life, and I have no doubt they would have continued had they not been caught that night.”
All three defendants will be sentenced on 19 December 2025.
