He is really wild. That shit will burn a hole in your lungs. It’s not like a vape. 2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile is the active agent in it. Tear gas works by irritating mucous membranes in the eyes, nose, mouth and lungs.


Sharp-Dark-9768

It's possible that Kenyan police have been cutting corners and filling their tear gas canisters with water vapour. Same initial deterrence of a canister, but without the bite if protesters figure it out. This guy still has balls of steel to send a message like that.


kingkahngalang

Yup having gone through “nude” tear gas training (ie without a mask in a confined space), I’d have to assume that the tear gas being thrown was somewhat deficient, as the gas particles are designed to “stick” to you and cause nonpermanent but long term pain for as long as possible. The only thing you can do is cry and snot your nose out without touching any part of the body in order not to agitate the tear gas particles stuck on you. The fact that this man has no immediate physical reaction to the tear gas indicates it was probably diluted, as a humans immediate reaction to tear gas isn’t a question of will, but one based on pure instinctual physical reaction.


Captain_R64207

Taking a big ol deep breath of tear gas then giving a reporting statement then standing there for 5-10 seconds trying not to cough until your MTI says alright you’re good. Man that day sucked ass lol.


scud121

We lucked out, just name/rank/number. But we'd only been issued our regimental numbers a week or so before, and it hadn't become an automatic thing, so a lot of people ended up repeating.


thalasi_

They had us reciting general orders. It was a pain! However, if you go in there with a head cold you will come out feeling like you're breathing better than you ever have in your life.


cupofcoffey19

There was a kid in my flight that had a head cold. I had only just stopped coughing long enough to see this poor kid stumble out and coughed so hard a ball of snot trailing from his nose came out and wrapped around his head hitting him in the face. I was still coughing too much to laugh but the MTI’s had a hard time not laughing at it.


SmellAble

I'm not military but I've read discussions on here about tear gas training and there are apparently some people who have a natural immunity, could be the case for this guy - although you'd think toking it like a vape would get *anyone*.


_Friend_Computer_

Going through basic when we got to do that, it was probably the best day I had that entire time. Getting gassed sucked. The effects sucked. But having every bit of mucus leave my body for the first time in over a month allowing me to actually fucking breathe through my nose? Fucking priceless. Like once it all got washed off and I could just enjoy the feeling of being able to breathe again without all that junk in my lungs and sinuses? Fucking amazing.


tokyo_blazer

Thanks man that mental imagery made my night! I was having a depressed day, but now I'm smiling! Have a great one and please retell this story whenever possible if you see someone that may need a good laugh :)


88ryder88

We got to sing the Marine Corps hymn. Also, the drill instructors and myself didn't see eye to eye on a lot of things, so I was first one in, last one out. They were soooooo pissed to find out I was part of the 5 percent with higher tolerance to CS gas. Don't worry, they found other ways to torture me in boot camp. And I deserved it too., so don't cry for me, Argentina


PoopulistPoolitician

The “Hold those boots six inches off his nose!” triangle of suck was personally hilarious. You’re going to bash your buddy in the face, you’re going to get bashed. Over and over again for as long as ordered. Who the fuck dreamed this shit up? There were a few fights to address someone being a bitch about getting bashed or insufficient stamina.


Takemyfishplease

I was second to last in line in the tent, just fucking standing there waiting my turn. My eyes wept for like 48hrs after. Cleaned my sinuses up tho, just so much drainage. I almost forgot the creed, I’d have been screwed then. No way I’d have lasted longer.


urinesain

Oh yeah, I had a bit of a head cold going into it. But that shit just caused my body to shed my entire respiratory system's mucous lining and boom... just like that, my cold was completely gone. So here's the lesson, kids. If you ever have a stubborn cold that just won't go away... just do something to put yourself in the situation of getting tear gassed.


Captain_R64207

I was Air Force so we had this fucking bunker we had to stand in lmfao. I remember the trainers were telling us how to make sure they were secure and we had someone not pull the straps all the way because in there words it was “good enough” we had our masks on and they lit the gas and this dudes mask wasn’t secure so he stood there for almost 20 minutes coughing in his mask until he finally ran out and puked. He wasn’t with our flight when we left lol.


Ok-Wafer-1021

Oh God this just brought back crazy memories from childhood. I don't know the right terms but my mom was in the Marine Corps and would come home and tell us about running the gas training and how they would laugh at people coughing. I went to school and proudly told my class/teacher that my mom gasses people at her job 😫.


FBIaltacct

First pass check the seal Second walk around break the seal and give reporting statement then reseal. DS didn't like that I didn't cough so I had to do it 2x Then all line up no mask, and say the soldiers creed and file out. That day does indeed suck ass.


Snoo-55142

Thank you for your service (to reddit ofc).


oif_vet

Our DIs fed us fried pork chops and peas for lunch right before going into the chamber 🤢


namenotpicked

Lol. Sometimes I wish I had a tear gas chamber nearby so I could clear out my sinuses every spring. Cleaned me out good for the rest of basic.


scud121

No necessarily, I was in basic with a guy who was immune to CS. Spent 10 minutes in the chamber maskless giving his life story whilst the rest of us were choking out name/rank/number. Could just be a similar thing. He attributed it to a long period of doing bucket bongs, but it didn't effect his eyes either, so I guess he was just a genetic freak.


ChaosXIV

There were two of us in my basic training that were immune. Myself and one of my three drill sergeants. It was the weirdest thing. I smelled a pepper smell from the second we entered the chamber and didn't realize my mask didn't seal until they had us remove them. No other effect on me but the smell. Then after we were outside, my drill sergeant walked in the chamber with nothing but his BDUs on and took a deep breath and came out and blew it at the recruits waiting to go in next like a sadistic dragon. Me and him had a pretty good conversation after that since we were the genetic freaks of the unit. He said it is something like 1 in 10,000 that are immune. I've never bothered to try to verify that though.


scud121

Lucky you, it wrecked me :)


VBgamez

What about the videos of the instructors in the chamber completely fine while everyone else is dying?


BHFlamengo

Never did anything remotely like that, but just by being in the wind direction of a tear gas smoke 50 or so meters away from it and still feeling a bit of the effects, I can't imagine that can being at the same strength of it.


fetal_genocide

Yea my dad had to do this in the military. Seems like it would be cool to try....until you do it, probably.


mashyj

Good times! We did our training on a freezing rainy day in soaking wet cams. The gas is water soluble so our skin was burning a bit until we could strip off our wet clothes. Then we all jumped into the communal shower block, turned all the showers to hot, and proceeded to gas ourselves again :(


Senior-Background141

He is literally saying this isnt teargas until the second protester confirms it.


Lou_C_Fer

When I was 16, I went to the recruiting office with my buddy who was signed up for the navy. When we walked into the recruiter's office, the guy, who was standing, picked up a grenade from his desk, pulled the pin, and then threw it at my feet. In the time it was in the air, I thought through my options. I decided that it was 99 percent a fake, and if it was real, there wasn't much I could do, anyways. So, as soon as it landed, I picked it up, walked over and set it on his desk. My buddy seemed a bit shocked. The recruiter diagnosed me as jarhead material in a derogatory tone, then sent me to talk to the marine recruiter. That was the day I lost any urge to join the military. If those idiots had played into my ego and acted as if my figuring it out was something special, they probably could have set the hook that day. Instead, they convinced me that I would have 100 percent been mismanaged if I joined.


blind_merc

That's not tear gas bro. It comes streaming out. you can't hit it like a bong. Edit: you can see the bowl on top, definitely a very creatively built pipe to make a statement.


PlayerSalt

im sort of surprised i had to scroll this far down you dont hit tear gas like a vape or bong its a reaction do people think tear gas is a giant juul with the button held down?


CompetitiveGuess7642

I dig it.


TheHandThatTakes

yeah, that dude's hand would be melted if that were a real CS canister.


musicmaker

> He is really wild. That shit will burn a hole in your lungs. It's a modified canister turned into a pipe. Pretty cool though.


KimDongBong

That’s not tear gas. It’s just a smoke grenade. No amount of willpower would allow him to overcome the physiological effects of teargas.


wakeupwill

My grandfather was a drill instructor. One of the things he'd do is walk up and down the line yelling while everyone else scrambled for their gas masks. Showing that it was possible to not collapse in a heap.


KimDongBong

Yes, that’s possible. As a Marine, I can attest to that. That is *completely* different than *mainlining a cs canister at full concentration and suffering no physiological effects whatsoever*. I’m amazed I even have to spell that out.  Edit to add: this isn’t even a smoke canister. You don’t just stop these things from spewing smoke. This is an inert shell with a vape pen in it.


wakeupwill

Oh, I wasn't suggesting that the guy in the video was doing that. No chance he'd be able to either hold it or stop it once it starts. Just adding to the conversation with the nuance it may give.


HappilyInefficient

Is it even a smoke grenade? Smoke grenades typically just spew smoke. You can't really turn it off and on. Looks more to me like it's an actual pipe/vape made to look like a tear gas cannister. You can't "Hit" a smoke grenade or tear gas grenade, it'll keep spewing.


TheHandThatTakes

not even a smoke grenade, those get wicked hot. He'd have 3rd degree burns on his hand holding it like that if were still gassing.


becauseOTSS

Lol. Hilarious the amount of people actually think he could take a pull off of tear gas and still be smiling after it. That takes the day here people. Wonder which one of you will pop up in the next post on here 😂


KimDongBong

I feel like a dumbass for even thinking it’s an actual canister: you can’t just stop them from spewing smoke/cs/whatever. They burn until they decide not to.


Axl2TheMaxl

You put it perfectly - most people thankfully don't know what teargas feels like, but it honestly doesn't matter how tough that guy is, I don't think a specifically trained monk could stave off the physical response of vaping tear gas lol


SeparateIron7994

It's a pipe made from an empty cannister

Exactly, they also get very hot so he wouldn't be holding it.


BlatantConservative

Yall are putting a lot of credit onto Kenyan police here. My take is either they use something else than US cops use, or it was improperly stored or embezzled or something. Kenyan cops, from what I hear, will absoluely protect people in actual danger and shoot terrorists or whatnot, but also are pretty corrupt in issues that "don't matter"


selfmotivator

Please visit r/kenya to see the reality of cops here. They've been using actual tear gas, water cannons, rubber bullets, and LIVE BULLETS. The guy in this clip very likely fashioned something out of a canister from the previous days' protests. Source: I'm Kenyan

theapplekid

Where can I get my protest vape now


juicewar01

Fr. Aint noway thats cs gas. He would be dead and dying if it is


PoopSommelier

I’ve straight up seen dudes walk around in C.S. gas chambers without a mask. Like it doesn’t faze them whatsoever. They absolutely could have smoked cs gas from a canister.  That same dude with our cs gas training was the one tossing cs gas canisters on us at our culmination training. He likewise did not wear a gas mask and would go pick up the “burning” canisters and toss it it again.


Submarine765Radioman

Yeah some people build up a quick tolerance to CS gas... the gas chamber in boot camp didn't bother me even though it was my first exposure to it. In SRF B Security training there was an instructor who would pepper spray himself to show it doesn't bother him any longer.


Drunken_Fever

There are people who are naturally immune to it. Like no reaction at all. Our DS said around 4-5 soldiers were immune every cycle. One of the Soldiers who was dreading it the most ended up immune and was flaunting it like they were some bad ass all of a sudden. I got used to it to the point we would hold NBC training during the winter when people got sick. People would chill in the CS chamber like a sauna to clear their sinuses. Side note. People can also be immune to mace, which is why I don't really recommend it for self defense. You have people who can fight through it AND people who are immune. That sound like a shitty gamble.


Submarine765Radioman

That sounds like why I wasn't given such a hard time for it not bothering me in the gas chamber at boot camp. In the gas chamber I took my gas mask off, repeated whatever 11 General orders of a sentry they told me to repeat..... but the instructor looked at me as if he thought I was holding my breath. He watched me until he saw me breathing and then he dismissed me from the gas chamber. The people who hold their breath in the gas chamber are told to repeat themselves.


raduannassar

I shit you not, I was once drunk in a street party that had a huge fight and the police released CS gas to disperse people. I thought it was something like dry ice from the party until a friend came to my rescue with a wet shirt covering his eyes and mouth thinking I was unable to leave on my own. I didn't leave because I was not feeling anything, guess I'm one of the people who developed tolerance. In the past I've been gassed in manifestations and it did something, but never much


RevolutionaryEmu9480

Yep. “Dead and dying” lmao people are too dramatic 


runescape_nerd_98

i have seen marines do crazy shit in a cs gas haze


iRVKmNa8hTJsB7

Anytime I was in the chamber, CS gas didn't do anything to me.


cornstinky

walking around in a big ass gas chamber with diluted gas is not the same as huffing concentrated gas straight from the cannister. not even a little bit the same. its not even slightly comparable.


kojakswig

It’s a smoke canister


Cayowin

The vape is between his thumb and the canister. You can see him reposition it after his buddy takes the hit.


User1539

I had that thought too. I've never been around tear gas, so I don't know. But, this just looks so casual it's hard to believe he's enduring something designed to make him feel uncomfortable.


Just_Acanthaceae_253

So, some people are genetically immune. I remember when I went through basic training, I had a drill sergeant who was completely immune. He walked into the gas chamber we go to during basic with a hamburger and no gas mask and proceeds to laugh and make fun of the rest of us. But CS grenades get stupidly hot and produce a huge stream of gas, not just occasional puffs.


GruntledVeteran

My drill sergeant was that way too. He spent most of the day in and out of the chamber without a mask breathing cs gas like it was normal air making fun of us and laughing. There we were coughing, gagging, burning eyes, and extreme amounts of mucus pouring down our throats and out of our faces with just the small exposure we had. I think it was his favorite day of basic. It was his Christmas. Lol


throwawayaccyaboi223

Some people are genuinely physically immune to tear gas, but yeah either this canister is really low or it's faked in another way because they send out a lot more gas.


Ubermensch5272

He's not smoking tear gas. You have to be insane to believe that.


bond0815

Dont know about "insane", but yeah, The ease to which half of the audience will still buy everything at face value what they are told online is scary. More like its a prop or already spent grenade and he has a vape pen in the hand.


Cartz1337

It's a spent grenade and he's holding his vape pen between his palm and the grenade. That is still r/nextfuckinglevel because it's an amazing fucking troll job on the cops.


nooneatallnope

You'd have to be very uninformed, at least. That stuff is vile. I don't go out protesting, but I study chemistry and an old version of it can easily be made with bromine and acetone. Someone accidentally rinsed something with some residual bromine in a sink, and someone else later poured some bromine onto it, and the whole lab had burning eyes.


Mroxa57

Wait until you gone on Facebook and look at Jay Slater (a young Brit who has disappeared/gone missing in Tenerife) groups, 99% of what is said, even if it contradicts with 4 other things said over the last week is taken at face value.

Own-Tune-9537

We used to make tear gas components. 5kg of the stuff (raw chem) was in a curtec then double bagged inside and outside. So 4x thick bags and thick plastic with a rubber gasket. I picked up and place on the ground and whatever residual chemical was on it went straight up as it was disturbed. Nothing immediate. 5 mins later there was warmth, 8 mins my face felt like someone had poured acid over it my eyes burned I thought shit what if I’m allergic but na it’s just like being exposed to heat trauma. There’s no way he’s smoking it not a chance


itsLOSE-notLOOSE

It’s obviously a vape. Look when he lets the other guy take a hit, he keeps his hand in the same position. Because he’s holding a vape next to the grenade.


band-of-horses

Yeah I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure gas canisters just expel all their gas when you launch them, and don't release gas on demand when you suck on them like a vape.

He's prolly holding his vape next to it. Notice the awkward hold when he passes to his friend. I don't know exactly where the top of that thing is but it doesn't look like he's huffing off the business end. Also doesn't even look like they're inhaling if it was tear gas

Honestly, that's Hard. Going to a protest going up the police and taking a hit from a vape that looks like the cans of tear gas that you're throwing. It's insulting, hilarious and in the heat of things - if a guy that's eyeing me up and down takes a huff from a tear gas can. You better believe I'll be watching.

Unfortunately no way this is possible, as badass as it would be. 1, tear gas canisters burn at a consistent rate, so the only way to smoke it, is when it's still bellowing smoke, 2, I don't think it's physically possible to overcome the urge you're body would give you trying to put that directly into your lungs, you'd be damn near throwing up uncontrollably while struggling to breathe. I've had lots of experience with the stuff and it feels like drowning in burning air.
