Portland Protests?

Last edit reverted mention of the claim that authorities were using adamsite on protestors. Reasoning was it was "unsubstantiated rumors online by non experts." I will agree we have no concrete proof.

What we do know: 1: we have on video authorities using a can of "canary yellow gas that fades when exposed to oxygen" ([https://twitter.com/juniperlsimonis/status/1288212684282793984?lang=en link])

2: we have reports of vomiting on the street ([https://twitter.com/SheaPDX_/status/1288003108803497985?s=20 link]), but no video

3: we have second hand reports of the smell of chlorine (associated with old and decomposing DM) ([https://twitter.com/juniperlsimonis/status/1287590438736519168?lang=en link 1]) ([https://twitter.com/GriffinMalone6/status/1287513021418356736 link 2])

4: from the looks of it, no one has collected canisters marked as DM (they say police are trying to be very cautious to not let any info get out)

5: CONFIRMED: the gas pdx is using is old reserve, a lot of which is decomposing ([https://www.portlandmercury.com/blogtown/2020/08/04/28698841/protesters-and-lawmakers-are-concerned-about-the-effects-of-expired-tear-gas link])

6: analysis of the gas is/was ongoing ([https://twitter.com/jakedockter/status/1288008736640884737 link])

Not sure if this is worthy of a fact-based edit, but a mention or further research seems necessary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.49.139.21 (talk) 17:38, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
