| 2014-12-09 |
| [DAILYMAIL.CO.UK] Protests have turned violent in Berkeley, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, after demonstrators hit the streets for the second consecutive night to speak out against the chokehold death of Eric Garner in New York. A crowd of 750 protesters swarmed freeway overpasses at two locations in Berkeley, near the Socialist paradise of San Francisco ...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964... , prompting police to move in to clear the roadways and handcuff some protesters. Three officers and a technician were hurt and six people were enjugged Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! Some protesters hurled objects at police, who responded by firing gas, the California Highway Patrol's Golden Gate division said on its Twitter feed. It said demonstrators threw unspecified 'explosives' while protesters targeted them with rocks and bottles and tried to light a patrol vehicle on fire. |

| #4 OK, but nobody ever said "I love the smell of tomato paste in the morning!" Teargas and protests at Berkeley - that's a serious nostalgia rush. |

| #3 One - it's going to be hard for people to say as they wonder back to their holes that they were just 'bystanders' who happen to catch a whiff of the gas. It's sort of like the pillory for the marked. Two - it starts to dry, becomes sticky and crusts up and attract flies and other wonders of nature. Hosing protestors with water just eventually dries (ask anyone who's had to cross an water obstacle). Getting the gunk out of every fold and crack and strand is another matter. Three - it's "earth friendly" to those stuck around the the miscreants whether they be motorists, shop or home owners. |

| #2 Tomato paste would work better. Why is tomato paste better than tear gas, Procopius2k? |

| #1 Tomato paste would work better. Empty the water trucks out and load them up. ..and tried to light a patrol vehicle on fire. A extra douse of gasoline does wonders to inhibit that too. |
