@dragginganox @7im @adrienne last time i heard about this it was that enough tear gas was used it got into the water, this seems even worse

@ianbobmorris @7im @adrienne yeah i suspect that whole situation is not going to get any nicer as it continues to be looked at in finer detail

@ianbobmorris @dragginganox @7im It doesn't even take all that much teargas for that to happen. (It also gets into the soil, which causes all kinds of problems, and it's hideously expensive to remediate.)
