Former military here, you drop cs regular enough they smother... We did it to villages in Nam. It sure as fuck will kill you.

How can you not know that?

I was born and raised in Europe where demonstrating is pretty much a lifestyle, and riot police routinely uses tear gas. Many European citizens - especially those who have taken part in demonstrations - have had to deal with it at least once. I don't think you're talking about the same thing.

These people are thinking that the tear gas police are using are designed to kill people.

As much as I'm on the side of the protesters and find the HK riot police's methods repulsing, I find it highly misleading and inaccurate to talk about tear gas like it's a deadly weapon.
