When we were down there, just standing underneath the trees by the medical tent, my eyes were watering heavily. People would walk buy and kick up a bunch of dust and omg that shit was choking. I wasn’t sure whether that was tear gas or pepper spray.
When we got tear-gassed later on in the evening I was surprised at how “clean smelling” it was (at least compared to the stench of the burning traffic cones the people up front had thrown into the bonfire). The smell at first was almost pleasant until my eyes and throat began to involuntarily snap shut.
