Student Protests
Why is it never the sound of car windows shattering, nor mobs shouting, nor gunshots firing that first alerts me to the occurrence of another student protest. Instead, it’s a faint tingle, then slight burning in my throat and nose. The product of tear gas launched into orbit by riot police.
Is this a preventive strategy? Or over-anxious and under-trained riot police? Or is it just that tear gas travels farther than sound? I would like to know.
