I've seen them available locally as well.

Dang. I could probably make my own for cheaper than that.

Yeah, those prices are appalling, but you are getting the blasting cap and fuse...


There are several heavy smoke producing 'fireworks' class smoke bombs too, but I wouldn't know how easy they are or are not to modify to other purposes.

But my cav scouts LOVED to make pepper gas grenades from the issue ones.

Good to know.

Hey Whembly, where exactly did you get that list and that link sourced from? I looked on the Facebook page but didn't actually see it there.

Not disputing it, but I have a friend who's potentially impacted by it and he's very interested about the source post for his own benefit.

Found it.

No Justice, No Peace! #Ferguson Protest Leader Has Car Stolen During “Please don't bypass the language filter like this. reds8n the Police” Rally

No Justice, No Peace!
Elizabeth Vega is one of the Ferguson protest leaders. She protested at sports venues and attempted a banner drop. She co-led the St Louis Symphony interruption, was arrested at the pumpkin smashing, yelled at the St Louis Post Dispatch protest, and helped block traffic with her freakshow in Clayton yesterday.

While yelling “Feth the Police!” apparently her car got stolen.
Do you think she’ll file a police report requesting they help her now?

Guard tend to be less nice though in a riot situation, which may be whats needed in that sense.

Again - peaceful protests and marches that do not impede critical services (or Anheuser Busch what are you thinking!!!!) good.


Rioting-bad.

As well as that you have the fact that it is not the Police being deployed, which might otherwise have further inflamed the protesters

If she does, I hope the officer says "Grab a napkin homie, you just got served!"

Having said that, if you buy standard smoke grenades, and peel off the little circle of tape on the bottom, you can pour in tabasco sauce (then re-tape the hole) and get a decent pepper gas type effect when you let the handle fly.

Or so I've heard.

When I was in college we decided it'd be great to secretly replace the tobacco in a friends cigarette with crushed red pepper flakes and see what happened when he smoked it. It was a really, really bad idea as the smoke was really acrid and stinging, he turned a distinct shade of red, then purple as his throat was so irritated that it swelled shut and he couldn't breathe. We had to call and ambulance and rush him to the hospital so they could get him breathing again. He had to have a pipe inserted in his throat and his voice was completely messed up for like a month. We all felt like crap as we didn't expect that to happen and only wanted to mess with him a bit not land him in the ER.

Even the second hand smoke from that was eye watering and pretty nasty stuff to deal with, didn't land us in the ER but it was certainly eye burning and can say from first hand experience that smoke from burning pepper flakes will seriously mess people up as bad or worse then CS gas.

Nothing to see here guys

Boy, the comments on that site really say a lot about the intended audience, huh?

I didn't read them. I don't read the ones on Slate or Huffington Post very often either.

And keep in mind ya'll that what you THINK is happening is only like 5% true in the real world.

We've had massive efforts to clean up the area by local Churchs and Fraternity Greek group... but, scant coverage from the media as it doesn't fit their narratives.

Oooohhh... Are things evolving/devolving into a "Gangs of New York" situation?? the Church "gang" and the "Frathouse Greek" gangs going toe to toe with whatever the St. Louis version of the Dead Rabbits and Natives are?

Why can't it be like this....

But... no.

Everyone thinks it's going to be a warzone here... but, I've got news for you: We're in the mid-west and the natives are the ones who's armed and dangerous.

Why do they think it will be a warzone? Are you talking all of the St. Louis area or Ferguson?

Actual neighborhoods usually aren't attacked in riots. Too many people will kill you dead. Its the businesses that get it.

People are over-reacting (imo) over the National Guard/Police tempoary stations around the city.

ctual neighborhoods usually aren't attacked in riots. To many people will kill you dead. Its the businesses that get it.

Many agitators PUBLICALLY admits that the neighborhoods would be a "target*.

*shrug*

If that's the case, they'll be meeting the "business end"quite often.

Public agitators won't do that. Pictures won't look good. Marching through a neighborhood is boring.

If they do it won't be pretty.

Yeah,neighborhoods make poor targets for this type of action for a variety of reasons. Not saying these folks won't do it, but it would surprise me if they did do it to any real extent.

I thought their list of targets was government buildings, Aheuser and Olin (I guess they needed beer and shotgun shells-America Hurr!)

I don't know who that is, but from the picture I assume nothing of value was lost.
