as I watched Trump Attorney General Pam Bondi appear on Fox News after Customs and Border Protection agents killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. “How did these people go out and get gas masks?” she asked, incredulously. “These protesters — would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask, right now? Think about that.”
Well that explains why I heard three people repeat that same question in a manner of hours.
I was surprised when they asked though, because my immediate answer was "Lowes has full face respirators, I bought one not that long ago for some house projects" and I know at least two of those people also owned respirators.
The trick is calling them "gas masks" on the news I guess.
Am I the only one who drives past a few army surplus stores every day? Like I wouldn't ever think to buy a gas mask, but i'd also probably start there.

I also drive past those. No idea what is in them but those also seem like a fair guess. My point was more that just calling them what they are (respirators) is a much less aggressive description...

Yep. Tear gas isn't even gas: it's a fine, irritating powder. Even a good old COVID-ready mask will help keep it out of your nose...and anyone who deals in paints probably sells cartridge...

I didn't even have to go look because I have seen people selling them. And like, we had a pandemic. I never bought a full respirator but I know some folks did.
But hey, Bondi, If you didn't spend weeks tear gassing people or pepper spraying them, they wouldn't go get masks. We all have the fucking Internet. It's how we know you're teargassing and pepper spraying people, because you all lie about it.
Hey, Pam ... https://www.amazon.com/s?k=gas+mask Addendum ... it looks like Amazon's top recommended gas mask is the same one recommended in The Verge article. Sometimes the algorithms work.

My uncle owned an army surplus store. He definitely had these in the 1960s, when protests were going on against the Vietnam war.
Yeah, my immediate my first thought too. They are always on display in the front window.
Multiple? Heck no. Not even one in my city currently. But I could find one. Internet is just easier.
