DUmpmonkeys Boast Of Criminal Behavior

[GOBUCKS]

Once or twice in the past, there have been DUmp threads where DUmmies were polled on whether they had ever spent time in jail. An astonishing percentage of DUmbasses have spent at least a night in jail, and are proud of it. Among the democrat base, having a criminal record buys a lot of street cred.

In this thread, the DUmpmonkeys boast about participating in riots or other criminal behavior, resulting in their being tear gassed or maced. Half the DUmmies polled boast of that experience. I've never been gassed, and outside of military training, I don't even know anyone who's been gassed. Don't know anyone in the democrat base.

Be it a protest or other confrontation, it hurts like nobody's business

Having been sprayed a couple times, I feel for everyone in NYC who is suffering at the hands of the cops.

3. No. My daughter's boyfriend recently was tear gassed in Greece. His
description of the experience set me off on a two day intermittent crying jag.

7. I voted "other." I was...
 ...pistol whipped about the head, and also had the back of my head bashed against a curb, by a "peace officer."

9. No, but I carry water and bandanas at protests just in case.
I did get my car vandalized while I was at a protest, and I'm pretty sure the cops did it.

18. Yup, been sprayed, gassed, baton-ed, and had my face ground into the pavement by police...
and probably not for the last time.

Okay. I can identify with this one:

22. Nope. I've never put myself in position where such a thing was likely to happen.

28. Tear gassed multiple occasions.
The worst time was when we were on the second level of any arena and they shut down the escalators after we were tear gassed.

29. In the Army and once in my car when my pepper spray
canister exploded from the heat.

I always hate it when that happens.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't cops.  Maybe your fellow bandana wearers. 

I carry pepper spray utility workers use.  I accidentally rubbed my eye after trying it out.  It burned like hell. 

I don't do protests.  I don't have the right clothes.   

[whiteguyPI]

Pepper sprayed, tasered, beat down, beat up etc etc etc...its all part of the training I willingly take part in just so I can kick the crap out of the DUmmies when they step out of line.

I admire the officers of NYPD.  They are showing professionalism and restraint in the face of a bunch of unruly,obnoxious and disgusting asshats.

[delilahmused]

My son has to re-qualify every year. The first time he did was in boot camp and I was petrified...he didn't have to panic because I was doing it for him. He wrote me a letter afterwards and said after he came out his nose was clearer than it had ever been. Got rid of the "recruit crud" too.

When I was young, I worked in a warehouse and restacked a pallet of 'squirrel proof' bird seed. I then made the mistake of wiping the sweat off of my forehead without washing my hands first. The sweat then carried the capsaicin straight into my eyes. Unpleasant.

[longview]

When I was a street urchin growing up in Detroit in the sixties I naturally wandered over where sit-ins and other demonstrations were taking place.  Curiosity.  After getting just slight whiffs of tear gas and whatever, I followed a kindly cops advise and got on top of nearby buildings to watch the drama.  Some places I could even stand inside office buildings and watch out hall windows with the employees.  As long as I didn't draw attention to myself no body would make me leave.  




By golly, it's a good thing all those hippies protested back then in Detroit.  The city has really blossomed into something good.

aquart low is trying to get some DU cred by insinuating a radical past when none exists.

If it were gassed or sprayed, there wouldn't be any doubt.

It's my guess that what the cops were spraying in the park around the Washington Monument was a combination DDT, Lysol and Raid.

It's their choice to be jackasses and get sprayed, why do you have sympathy for them?  Ridiculous.  I have sympathy for the 3,500 babies you liberal scumbags murdered yesterday.

19. Accidentally squirted PERT PLUS in my eyes while showering.
I thought my eyes were on fire. Had to drive to the emergency room

Ironically enough, I got shampoo in my left eye while showering this morning.

Unlike the DUmmy, I didn't cry or go to the emergency room.  Even made it to work on time.  Stupid DUmmies.

[NHSparky]

Tear gas?  Yup--boot camp.  Same with the smoke chamber.  Thank you, George!!!

Firefighting/NBC was the most fun I had in boot.

[BlueStateSaint]

Tear gas?  Yup--boot camp.

ROTC (twice) and Signal Officer Basic Course.  I think that one person, one of those three times, had contact lenses in when they entered the chamber (after being told not to).  Not so when they left.

[jukin]

A few times when the Army wanted to show how well the masks worked. I never understood why they HAD TO KEEP proving this but they do.  CS gas, it's a bitch.

Because the material the masks are made out of breaks down over time, not to mention, you have seals that need to be checked every so often. You don't want to find this out in a haze of Mustard Gas after donning MOPP-4 in a combat zone. When seconds count, a replacement is only hours away. It's part of yearly certification as well as all SRPs.

[Airwolf]

Nothing says love better then a few hits of CS gas sent your way followed by night sticks and jail time.

937.Hit in the head with a brick. Or tripped on the curb and did a face plant after a bender. I cannot remember which but I am sure the police were involved.

What the hell is Nadin trying to say here?

37. I should have said other, but yes

I have had contact to this crap...

It is capsein in it's purest form... what makes chilies hot.

And we had a guy who tried to commit suicide by cop. After the cops turned him over we had to decontaminate him before loading him onto the rig...

There is a lot more to this story though... and it was all but fun... well it was lots of fun after it was over...

As to the patient... he was bipolar having an episode and a lovely 22 rifle... the cops went out of their way to use LESS THAN LETHAL in that call.  

     

The only really good result from google is Nadin using it herself:

I think it's a veiled slam at the police who shoot thugs with a gun.

It's long been a screed by DUmmies that the police, when encountered with a thug with a gun, should shoot the gun out of their hand and transport them to the proper facility for mental care.

In her scenario, the thug with a gun survived a police encounter.

I detect a bouncy.

[SherryBaby]

I was hit in the butt with a plastic bb, but it was my kid, not the cops, and an accident, not a protest.  Although my buttocks did protest.

That's as close as I've come to being pepper sprayed too.  Minus the trip to the emergency room.  Just a lot of cussing until the burning went away.

Well you know DUmmies, any reason to become a bigger victim than everyone else.

My son found a new, undischarged can of (10%) pepper foam in our yard a few months back.  I just thank God that as he was bringing it in to show us, he never figured out the trigger button (he was pressing hard against the safety cover as he came in the door).

Yup, but I never really felt the need to take mine off after the second time.

Granted the two times after that I was in strategic SATCOM and really felt I had nothing to prove to a bunch of guys who had less time in the field than I had in a latrine in the field.  Also, by the time I needed the mask in that facility it would have been too late, even if I was wearing it.
