Why did this need an ai generated image to go along with it I’m so sick of seeing ai everywhere
Watered down pepto or milk of magnesia is great for flushing eyes after exposure to tear gas or pepper spray. I see lots of people using straight water.

I’m with ya, but just understand the stakes. And get ready to return fire if they begin with the deadly force.
Also. Consider spraying this into the leaf blower:
It’s at walmart.
Just a reminder, as stated in the other duplicate posts in other communities where this was also posted, this image is AI.
This is a fabricated image that did not happen.
Kind of figured, it has too many in-focus points at varying distance from the “camera.” So it still has some uncanny valley in it.
But I want it to be real…
Fullface masks with cheap P3 filters will work fine against pepperspray (be sure to lose the filter after you get sprayed). You can get something good enough on AliExpress for like 30 bucks, from several “we have 3M at home” brands.
For CS/CN aka teargas deployed in wide-area use, you’ll definitely want an active carbon filter. Note that those will work fine on your knockoff gasmask, but the fit of it will be much worse than a proper (150 dollar) mask, so you’ll definitely get some tiny exposure. It gets worse if your face isn’t that of a cleanshaven white male. Note that activated carbon has a limited lifespan, whether in use or not. Technically you’ll want RCA filter canisters, but those aren’t in most stores.
That’s how you get shot for brandishing what reasonably appeared to be a chainsaw.

I think this is worthwhile posting again as a “TIL that leaf blowers are a good way to defend against tear gas” when this post gets removed for falling fowl of rule 1.
Not really, they kinda work vs pepper spray but not super well, you’ll still get spray in your face even in the best case, and this image is AI.
kinda work vs no defense at all… you can go solo, but I’m bringing ol’ blowy
Or instead you could just bring an umbrella, which is much more effective at blocking pepper spray without billowing it onto your fellow protesters, obscures your identity and isn’t a large, noisy, bulky object that only works if you’re within 10’ of the fash.
Leafblowers are useful, but only in coordination and even then they’re less useful than carrying around a similar weight in water so you can douse teargas rounds.

Also, yes. Absolutely.
New legislation introduced in Washington to ban black assault leaf blowers
The vast majority of fascists are white, so that’s not gonna be very effective. Carry on.
