  1. 11:26 Aleksa's smart. Putting our head in one bucket of clean water, then a second bucket of clean water, then a third bucket of clean water (all while opening one's eyes) was how we dealt with the aftermath of being peper sprayed in the army.

  2.  @glenjamindle  I'm assuming we haven't experienced the same gas/spray then. But how were you exposed to CS? We were standing 10 people in a tiny shed, while the Staff SGT lighted up a small thing that slowly released the gas/smoke into the room. After letting it disperse through the room for a nervous 10-15 mins, we were told one by one, remove our mask, take a deep breath and then ask for permission to leave the room (worded in a specific way). When granted permission, we should exit the room and keep running down the street while flapping our arms like we were 5 year olds pretending to be birds. I remember there were some after effects. Maybe some physical stinging in the eyes and throat, coughing, slime and stuff like that. I'm sure I could remember more by googling what the effects were, cause I rly don't remember anything after exiting the room (except that the running and arm flapping seemed to help)... because the physical and especially the overwhelming psychological effects of the gas were absolute horror. The feeling of being choked so intensely, but there's no hands on your throat. The immediate need for air, but total inability to actually take a breath (I'm sure I took many breaths, but I couldn't feel/sense that I was doing it). The constant coughing. It felt like a demon was choking me. By raping my throat. I also remember guilty for thinking those team members who were in there with me was pussies, because shortly after removing my own mask, I understood finishing that sentence was impossible. But somehow, I managed to do it on the third try, and I think I was one out of like three or four that made it. Out of 35 people. Maybe if I experienced the pepper spray first, it would actually feel bad, but the contrast from what I told above just makes it "meh". There's a photo taken like 15-30 min afterwards which I think encapsulates the feeling really well. I just look very tired and very sad. I've always thought that experiencing the gas in a more "realistic way", like a gas canister thrown into a crowd at a protest, vs. the tightly packed shed, would drastically affect the experience, making it more tolerable. At the same time, I don't wanna know. I'd rather take pepper to the face as a yearly occurrence than to ever re-experience Diablo's dick down my throat.

  3. ​ @glenjamindle  ​ 1) How were you exposed to CS gas? 2) Uhhh, how can you possibly know whether or not we were exposed to the same type of CS gas? 3) I was mostly implying a possible difference in regards to the pepper spray, as that is a pretty generic term, while CS gas (although I'm not confident it cannot vary) is specified by its chemical formula (C10H5ClN2). I'll take some blame though, as my first two sentenced was supposed to more along the lines of "I'm assuming we might've experienced different forms of gas/spray then, if not how we were exposed to it. How were you exposed to CS gas?". And I wrote quite a lot, which makes it difficult for some people to follow along. On the other side, the important part was intentionally put at the start. Maybe I should've asked the question again at the end to be sure you didn't forget. 4, and most importantly) You missed the main point of my post where I described how we were exposed to the CS gas, and asked the question "how were you exposed to CS?" 5) How were you exposed to CS gas?

  4. Also; emphasis on the "how". Note that I explained earlier how we were in a tiny shed where the gas had been allowed to disperse fully throughout the room for a long time before we removed our masks.

  5. So many things could go wrong, and you only escaped with a 1st degree burn. That's a success in my book! Oh, and the hair was being cut.. kinda?

  6. Pepper spray was pretty unremarkable compared to the CS gas imo.

  7. This video had a 4 year anniversary a couple of weeks ago, and you didn't do a follow-up vid on how many ''Muricans got themselves killed by police (by using this device in the public)
