I was collateral damage at the 2005 Michigan State University basketball riots. The cops laid down a huge cloud of the stuff, the whole campus reeks.

What were the basketballs rioting about?

Your first tear gassing! That's like a rite of passage.

My first tear gassing occurred in 2002 at...oh, nevermind.

Did they use mass amounts of Mace as well?

When I got maced...I was just dead! Was at an activist rally and I dont know what was going on cause I got taken to it...I dont even know what they were protesting about..but someone did something to a cop and the *hit hit the fan! I didn't even get a full dose of mace in my face and I still just freaking collapsed! Got in my mouth and my throat..I thought I was gonna die..its like being on fire but you cant put it out!

I'm so damn accident prone.

Fun fact: mace is also a spice used in the kitchen.

I was not maced, but many people were.

Another fun fact: mace is designed to be sprayed on the chest. Most cops spray it in your eyes. Tear gas canisters are meant to be fired onto the ground. Most cops fire them at people.

Mmm... zesty.

Heh, the worst thing that happened to me with a self defense weapon was a kid brought a tazer to school and shocked me in the ass with it. I had some sore cheeks for a while, but the cursing that followed got my entire class in trouble

My advice to you.

Never, EVER, hold protest for some reason, at the teargas/pepper spray/mace factory. You'll end up being blind.

There was never a union at one of those factories. Heh heh heh...

Would be intresting if there were

Meh, after watching Michigan State beat Kentucky... I kinda feel a sick satisfaction knowing that you guys got gassed. (not really, I'm not actually much of a basketball fan, but it felt like the thing to say. And of course even if I did actually feel that way I'd never want to see Good Mister Pants be harmed by the horrors of tear gas...)

Wow and to think if Michigan State won yesterday, the tear gassing could have been a lot worse.

No, but at my buddy's birthday we were playing with a home-made tazer.

I really don't like people who confuse "stun guns" and "tasers".

I was teargassed twice. Once when I was 12 years old, a "friend" pulled a prank on me. Second time on October 5. 2000. But only a bit, I was in the next street to the one where gass was thrown so I could only feel it a bit.

I figure I have to be teargassed at least once in a protest, just to experience it. like breaking a limb. if you've never had it happen, you're probably curious what it is like. yup, it hurts. or getting drunk. yup, all those accounts of being dangerously loose-lipped and close to shutting down all bodily funtions because your BAC is so high oxygen is not getting to vital organs? all true.

I am in no way curious to see what it is like either be tear gassed or break a limb.

...I, on the other hand, am just a little curious. :3
