"Tear gas is bad because it violates the Geneva convention" makes as much sense as "MLK is a bad person because he's a criminal" (news.ycombinator.com)

Mind elaborating? The arguments in sibling comments seem to be some variant of "avoid escalating to more dangerous chemical agents". I don't see how that's relevant to protests. Are we seriously expecting the protesters to escalate to mustard gas because the police used tear gas?

shut the fuck up Saddam Hussein

regardless, i think that existence of LRAD is a valid reason for a civilian to own antitank weapons and that Vucic government should be destroyed

and yeah, excessive use of force by police is kinda the big part of the reason why protests are going on for so long in the first place. what a braindead take
