    Clearly less lethal weapons are needed to stop non-violent protesters from occupying some space to voice opposition to violence.

    /s just in case. Also, rubber bullets are less lethal weapons, as in less likely to kill than bullets.

      The Oakland County Child Killer was a less lethal serial killer than John Wayne Gacy

      Edit: Huh, apparently that wasn’t an apt comparison? Oh well, the point is you wouldn’t leave someone alone in a room with either one of them and you shouldn’t fire bullets, rubber or not, at nonviolent protestors. Probably shouldn’t really be shooting at people in general… Except maybe those serial killers.

        Yup!

        Too many people think that rubber bullets, tasers, and any alternative to shooting live bullets are non-lethal when they are actually less lethal.

          Tripping on an uneven sidewalk and hitting your head against the pavement can also be lethal. We should do away with paved sidewalks.

            What an apt comparison! Unintentional tripping hazards and objects fling at people with the intent to cause harm are basically the same thing!

    That’s after they let zionist mobs in to attack the encampment for hours with fireworks, mace and batons but that was not enough and they got repelled. So they’re finishing the job themselves with (rubber) bullets.

    This is history in the making. And they chose to be on the wrong side of it.
