Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsMy next question: Was GAS available to use on members of Congress in the tunnels?
"The members are in the tunnels. Seal them off. GET THE GAS."
Was gas available to them?
Was this an empty cry?
Or was it ready for use?
How would it be delivered? Or perhaps stored in advance?
Your thoughts?

(21,573 posts)did the terrorists have access to bio/chemical weapons? Did they make them themselves and bring them? OR did someone smuggle something out of a military stockpile to supply to them to use?
Terrifying.

(15,716 posts)it is used in case of a fire. Something like FM-200. Or they might have something like it that sprays tear gas out of nozzles also. Hit a switch and let it rip.

(15,716 posts)has a tendency to destroy most historic antique items. As the whole capital is. But since tear gas hoods were under each seat, a central tear gas system makes sense also since firing the canisters usually start fires.

That could point to Putin.
If they did have gas, what stopped them from using it?

(2,150 posts)This was the crowd wearing "Camp Auschwitz" tees. I took it as a disturbing expression of some deeply-held hatred, what they wish they could do on a mass scale to anyone and everyone they hate. They didn't come prepared to execute anybody that way, guns and gallows for this crowd.

Who knows? They convinced themselves of all kinda other bullshit, why not that?
I also like the answer, "Nazi Cosplay."
But really, who the fuck knows? All I know is they killed four of their friends and a cop.
