  1. Hoe idioot; het eventueel opheffen van het #pepperspray-verbod wordt rechtstreeks gekoppeld aan de dood van #Lisa, ook het @NosJournaal doet daar vrolijk aan mee.

    Minister van Weel wil het nu misschien toe staan voor "bedreigde "vrouwen, maar Lisa werd ook niet bedreigd.

    Feit is dat het overal onveilig is voor vrouwen en dan vooral door mannen in de directe omgeving, hitsige studentjes, managers en andere klootzakken.

  2. U.S. Lawmakers Demand Reforms to #Immigration Officers’ Use of #TearGas and #PepperSpray

    3 US senators have called for an overhaul of federal agents’ use of tear gas & pepper spray, citing a ProPublica investigation that found at least 79 children were left screaming, coughing or hurt by these chemicals during Trump’s immigration crackdown.

    Lawmakers said the findings showed more restrictions are needed to avoid injuring bystanders — with chemical munitions.

  3. We don't really have street violence in Dunedin, so twenty teens being involved in a mass brawl in the main street outside Mickie D's is notable.

    Cops located the teens nearby, but an unrelated, 67 year old, irritating pensioner gets in police faces and is arrested. Old guy pushes a cop and it's all on. Old guy tries to strangle a cop, another cop fires pepper spray into the fracas taking out the perp as well as three of their colleagues.

    Guess who'll be getting a refresher course in pepper spray 101?

  4. CW: zionish neighbor drama and meltdown

    So walking the rugrat this am, there was a dick right at my front door, with his dog pissing.

    I told him in a matter of fact way, which was clearly seen as hostile, that he should have his dog piss on the curb, he ignored me and so I started berating...my earnest, public servant hellion alter makes an appearance with the reasoning that since obstinacy is unforgivable, least I can do is make it unpleasant and visible, ~so he threatens. to. SHOOT. me~

    Called him a zionist...it's a go-to slur for me...

    Did some operatic yelling.

    Walked around the block and saw him entering at the building next to mine

    Talking to a guy I've spoken to and whom I then told that the dick was a POS..

    The guy said 'im the president of this building*' and YOUR dog pissed on it'...I pointed out his bad faith argument** and told him Ray never pisses (or shits) on buildings like his buddy (all but invariably true throughout his life)

    Called him a zionist again...the other guy zio-identifies***, so I said something like 'no point talking to you then, you think it's ok to rape doctors to death and murder babies' so then he threatenes to beat me up (seriously considering getting #pepperSpray and would love some thoughts about that from ppl who would never do what I did, as well as if there is anyone who would) while I'm walking home then, as if it is related, 'im a jew'**** (thereby graduating from bad faith (cuz he doesn't care if he is right or wrong he just wants to front) to full-on #goldaMeir accusing anyone highlighting zionist monstrosities of antisemitism))

    He starts chasing me to my door, threatening the whole way.

    So I start heckling (after I open my door) and he calls me a 'degenerate f@ggot'*****

    So after I put Ray inside, I go to the gated service entrance fence and heckle him some more, since he is showing his whole ass, ...those two slurs are things only bigots and fascists(I repeat myself.) use.

    Like I said earlier...I am primed for a spiral cuz of the storm cancellation of the farmers market and my lazing at home yesterday erroneously thinking I could get food today...

    And I go through this metric...or at least I hear in my head 'youre doing it again' cause I dont like losing it, or the fallout...but I have my sanctity fetish....this started as a real thing and I got pissed at being ignored

    And the faithful in small things part of me got overwhelmed by being ignored and then the #meltdown

    I don't know if i would have been so activated without the farmers market.

    And I am an imposing figure so people can feel embarrassed or scared from the beginning

    So here's my entry in the crazed files for today

    *I need a new game plan when someone is trying to flex their completely non germane authority...it's a defense and a bad one at that, but I don't have to tools to shift from a harangue

    **Last summer this guy yelled at me for Ray pissing (in the middle of the sidewalk(which is not normal, but he had waited awhile while I started laundry) for which I immediately apologized and made my excuses for Ray and he accepted the apology

    ***In response to his self zio-identification I SHOULD have said 'how shameful for you...where is your shonda?'

    ****Anyone following me for not even very long knows that I have real love for Jewish culture and people, that disappears when someone zio-identifies...no air for fascism...sadly, people like this need to pretend zionist and Jews are the same circle in a venn diagram

    ***** Those being fascist slurs...well...i point out someone is a monster, and then they remove all doubt cuz I made them big mad.

  5. Public Health Experts Sound Alarm as Feds Keep Deploying Tear Gas Near Kids

    “We don’t know the long-term effects. We don’t understand their effects on children,” said a pediatrician.

  6. #Teargas and #pepperspray can have lasting #health effects
    Evidence is mounting for longer-term impacts beyond immediate pain and tears
    “These are chemical weapons that are harmful to the human body and harmful to particularly vulnerable folks, like children,” says Asha Hassan, an epidemiologist at the University of Minnesota. “We know that tear gas causes tears, but it also causes other things that are a lot more severe,” she says — even death.

  8. Dr. Glaucomflecken talks about eye irrigation in the event of pepper spray, including regarding contact lenses.

    (TLDW: a solid litre of water with no-tears-style baby shampoo, or failing that just plain water, don't use dairy, the potential damage from pepper spray makes it more likely to trigger an infection. And do NOT remove contact lenses quickly; wait until you can keep your eyes open with reasonable ease, _then_ remove them.)

  9. Judge Hands #Trump Admin New Legal Loss Over #Minnesota #Protesters

    By Anna Commander, Jan 16, 2026

    Excerpt: "On Friday, U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez, appointed by former President Joe Biden, granted a preliminary injunction that restricts federal immigration agents—specifically those participating in #OperationMetroSurge—from taking retaliatory action against people 'engaging in peaceful and unobstructive #protest activity.'

    "The order specifically prohibits the use of #PepperSpray or other crowd-dispersal tools in response to peaceful protest and bars agents from stopping or detaining protesters in vehicles unless they are 'forcibly obstructing or interfering with' officers."

  10. #BorderPatrol agents seen at a #protest near #Minneapolis, #Minnesota, appear to be a mix of the agency’s special response team and its Border Patrol Tactical Unit, also known as #BORTAC.

    BORTAC agents are *generally* “trained” in crowd control & crowd dispersion, as well as other tactics to protect property. #PepperSpray & #TearGas canisters are among tools agents have used for crowd control.

    Rights group says at least 45 people arrested as people demonstrate against coordinated raids throughout the city

    by Gabrielle Canon
    Fri 6 Jun 2025

    "The Department of Homeland Security conducted raids on multiple locations across Los Angeles on Friday, clashing with the crowds of people who gathered to protest.

    "Masked agents were recorded pulling several people out of two LA-area Home Depot stores and the clothing manufacturer Ambient Apparel’s headquarters in LA’s Fashion District. Immigration advocates said the raids also included four other locations, including a doughnut shop.

    "There has not yet been confirmation of how many people were taken into custody during the coordinated sweeps.

    "At an afternoon press conference, #AngelicaSalas, executive director for the Coalition of Humane #ImmigrantRights, said at least 45 people were arrested without warrants.

    " 'Our community is under attack and is being terrorized. These are workers, these are fathers, these are mothers, and this has to stop. Immigration enforcement that is terrorizing our families throughout this country and picking up our people that we love must stop now,' Salas told the crowd.

    "The protest only grew as the afternoon wore on. By 6pm local time, hundreds of people assembled around the federal building in downtown Los Angeles, where those taken into custody during the raids are being held.

    "Earlier in the day, armed agents clad in heavy protective and tactical gear, including some who wore gas masks, could be seen on video and through aerial footage pushing individuals and trying to corral large groups that congregated to challenge the raids.

    "Smoke grenades were reportedly thrown near the crowds and pepper spray was used as the federal officers attempted to clear the area. As the demonstrations continued into the evening, videos showed officers firing less-lethal weapons toward protestors.

    "Some people in the crowd attempted to block large #ArmoredTrucks carrying FBI agents as they departed. One person reportedly threw eggs at the vehicles.

    "The Los Angeles fire department was called to the scene to administer aid to protesters injured by agents and officers, which included the president of the California branch of the Service Employees International Union (#SEIU), #DavidHuerta. The organization said in statement he was detained and called for his immediate release.

    " 'We call for an end to the cruel, destructive, and indiscriminate #ICERaids that are tearing apart our communities, disrupting our economy, and hurting all working people,” Tia Orr, executive director of SEIU California said.

    " 'Immigrant workers are essential to our society: feeding our nation, caring for our elders, cleaning our workplaces, and building our homes.' "

  16. #Australia: Proposed #AntiProtest Laws: Reviewing #Victoria's New Legislation

    by lawyer Galbally Parker | Jan 14, 2025

    "The proposed anti- protest laws include:

    - Banning the flags and symbols of listed terrorist organisations in public, to give Victoria Police more powers and fill in any gaps in Commonwealth anti-Terror legislation. Listed terrorist organisations include #Hamas, Hezbollah and several other groups, including white nationalist and racist violent extremist (NRVE) right-wing groups.
    - Banning the use of #FaceMasks at protests, which are being used to conceal identities and shield agitators from crowd-control measures like #capsicum spray. A mask ban in public demonstrations will focus on prohibiting the wearing of face coverings at protests and providing police with the power to require their removal. Exemptions would apply for legitimate health, religious or cultural reasons.
    - Banning the use of glue, rope, chains, locks and other dangerous attachment devices that protestors use to cause maximum disruption and endanger others
    - Introducing prohibited zones for protest (i.e., where places of worship are situated)

    The proposed anti-protest laws, if legislated, will give police extensive enforcement powers."

  17. In Backlash to Campus #ProPalestine #Protests, Echoes of #StandingRock and the Global Crackdown on #ClimateProtest

    The use of #militarized police and “#antiterrorism” laws against #activists is not new in the U.S.

    "As soon as a single #Palestinian activist showed up at an anti-#DakotaAccessPipeline camp on the edge of the Standing Rock reservation in 2016, intelligence analysts for the mercenary security firm #TigerSwan were on alert.

    "El-Zabri, the Palestinian activist surveilled at Standing Rock, was among 79 people arrested this week while protesting at the #UniversityOfTexas at #Austin. 'It really felt like the same as Standing Rock, when we were facing the police,' he said.

    "''There was a whole army that looked like it was at war in #RiotGear. They eventually used #TearGas and #PepperSpray.'

    "'They're afraid of what we have to say and the people that we can touch,' said Cornell senior Yanenowi Logan, who is Deer Clan from the #SenecaNation and has been negotiating with campus administrators.

    "Logan said that by standing up for Gazans, she and other Native organizers are also standing up for themselves. 'We want to be able to show them that, hey, we're still here,' she said. 'You can try to kill us. You can burn our crops. You can do whatever you want to do, but we're still going to persist.'"
