Tear gas canister destroys a man's face. *graphic*

Hello all. Just saw a video on WSHH and quickly found it all over online. The conflict in the video is between the IDF and Palestine. The video is of a man getting hit with a tear gas canister in the face. The canister embedded itself and destroyed parts of this man's face in a VERY severe way. Do tear gas canisters typically do this? Where these projectiles shot in a way to minimize the possible impact against the "protesters"? Which type of ammo was used? Was it modified in any way?

I've seen national stories (USA) of tear gas injuries, most were wounds caused by the quick and sudden impact of a canister shot directly toward an individual. Likely what's being used is much different. What I do notice is the canisters are shot into the sky to fall. How quickly are these heavy metal objects dropping? How quick are they supposed to drop?


I don't know much apparently lol. I just look at that dudes face and the damage seems too extreme to be accidental is all I have been impressed with. Anywaym just me trying to figure some things out for myself.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My own opinion about the conflict shouldn't matter but in case any are curious.

I see time and time again that the IDF are willing to do immoral things while trying to diminish responsibility. I believe them to be "the bigger man" so expectations are higher. I'm actually on the fence concerning this conflict but I think both sides are doing horrific # and playing everyone else for the fool.

This is to be expected when people are taught that other groups are "animals in human skin." Some of us would not treat animals that badly.

Days ago I saw pics of him between takes. Faked injury.

Evidence, please.

I think I'll wait and see how this comes out.

However, if both sides want to continue fighting and trying to destroy each other over a patch of sand, more power to them.

They've been killing each other like barbarians for hundreds of years. It ain't gonna stop anytime soon.

It's a horrible thing when women and kids are slaughtered, but as long as these kids grow up to be barbarians, just like their parents are, nothing will ever change.

Just so I make myself clear, and there's no confusion, I'm talking about BOTH SIDES here.

"Hey, this is MY sand"
"No way! It's MY sand"
"Get off my sand or I'll shoot!"
"Can't do it, homey. You're 3 feet too far over on MY sand!"

Darwinism at work.

If this is legit, it is a truly horrible thing but it just doesn't seem right to me.

I just searched on Google and looked at the images results. There were 14 different pictures, from different angles, with different people in the background and all with the smoke coming out from his face. It looks like they were staged.

Then there are reports that he died from his injuries yet other reports of him texting, while in hospital, from a smartphone, about how he still felt there was gas inside and that he just wanted to get it fixed.

Then there were the pictures of him sitting up in a hospital bed, obviously conscious and cleaned up, with the cannister sticking out of his face (and curiously, no signs of swelling or bruising around it). WTF the medical team just left it in there?

Surely a first responder could have just pulled the cannister away and applied a pressure bandage? Why leave it there, spewing irritant and potentially toxic concentrations of smoke?

Even when they got him to hospital and he gets cleaned up, it's still there, sticking out of his face as he sits up in bed? Surely proper procedure would be to remove the foreign object, clean and stitch up the wound and cover it with bandages ASAP?

Thanks i'll look into this as well.

Hoax bin material, as is usually the case with hateful anti Israeli propaganda.

Fake story to make Israel look like the bad one..
Already been proven a hoax made by a known actor

It would be classified as less lethal, not safe.

Let’s be honest, if IDF wanted to shoot that guy in the face, they don’t worry about using silly gas canisters! That’s what live ammunition is for!

And your thoughts on Israel are likely how they are because you buy the lies, like this fake injury.

More so, why didn't HE just rip it out, it looks like it was rather .. right there, in his face.

"Wobbling with smoke pouring from mouth and nose."
That could describe me on more than one occasion.

I hope you're not around if I need medical attention. Would you then put a plaster over the bandage once you pulled it out?

The thing that would save a life if a person had a gas canister stuck oot their face would be to leave it there to stop bleeding and shock. The job of removing it would be left to surgeons me thinks, not first responders.

Looked like a really painful vape lol

How gullible folks can be when it apparently portrays something they think they want to see....
Just Dang.....

Where did he get that mod ? Looks like it would last for days without charging.
And what a hit....
Makes my Smok look bad.
