============================================================

If they threw tear gas and sprayed pepper spray at someone who was in MOP Level 4, and saw that it had no effect on that protestor, would the police begin to beat that protestor down? I wondered about that last night when I was wathing the news... I wondered, why don't these protestors have gas masks... hmmmm I would definitly make it a point to hit up a Army Navy Surplus store on the way there and buy a gas mask... and maybe some MOP gear... it never hurts to protect ones self so that the protest can go on... =)

PEACE!
John
