This is Evil: The "Bernie Glow Sticks" that create a chlorine bomb

Yes, there are people on this world who hate Bernie Sanders' supporters so much that they have posted the "recipe" for this very real, very dangerous and possibly fatal homemade (you can get all the ingredients at Walmart!) explosive device. [WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AS IT MAY LEAD TO INJURY OR DEATH]

Sanders glow sticks.jpg

These are deadly. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TRY TO MAKE ONE! They will cause an acidic explosion.

Here's what would actually happen if you made them. The instructions require you to mix a swimming-pool-chlorinating tablet with isopropyl alcohol, then shake the ingredients together inside of a closed bottle. The chemical reaction rapidly generates enough chlorine gas to cause a pressurized explosion in the bottle, releasing the gas into the air.

If the lungs are exposed to enough chlorine gas, it begins to attack the respiratory system and can cause the lungs to fill with fluid until the victim asphyxiates.

Apparently this is being spread around the internet. We need to push back against this crap, whoever created it. Someone needs to do jail time for this kind of crap.

"When the powerless are shut out of the media, we will make the media irrelevant" ~Anonymous~

This person for all these years.. For the life of me I can't remember why.

The GOS is becoming a niche site IMHO. Bless the few who continue to post worthwhile and interesting diaries there but they are fewer and fewer these days. Hopefully by choice.

This past weekend was a prime example of what that place has become... When a NEW user spent a good deal of time posting what can only be described as FUCK WHITEY diaries and comments and long time members literally attacked people for daring to point out this person was a brand new user (shakes head). To DKs credit they banned the racist and put a banner at the top of its last diary saying it was a banned racist...since the crap was being shared on FB Nd Twiiter carrying the DK name with it (karma is a liberal bitch)

and today I noticed that the person aka bravanek (sp?) who is a vocal anti semite (off DK) and who has a large following there. Is on a TO. Since I was sanctions and accused of lying and stalking this person by her DK fan base I was wondering what brought about the TO.

For those that don't follow the gos soap operas... This is the person who posted on DU "who knew Jews hate PoC so much". And " there are so few of them (Jews) How dare they think they have the right to say Ghetto". And "I dont even like Hillary but will vehemently support her to F U BERNIE sanders". and like I said, she has a YUGE fan base on The gos.

So I am curious why she is now on a TO?

I guess the answer is yes. There are parenthetical sentences, but you better verify with lotlizard. And I don't know how well they are accepted in Journalist's text for the print media. It's kind of a lazy way of writing style, probably.

and it's all about getting your crap at walmart, too.

There are some truly sick fucks in this country.

We heard a story about some poor dog being tied to a bridge and then beaten, shot and had it's entire mouth taped. The dog survived the grueling torture and is in custody at some shelter in NJ.

The first thing my husband said is that this country is full of sick fucks. Then he mentioned that Bush/Cheney showed shit tons of footage of al Queda gassing labradors. Just to show us Americans how sick the terrorists were. He said if this newstory had been about a middle eastern country - people would be rising up to say what a sick country that is and it should be "relieved" of it's sick terrorists. Because if they do that to their animals, imagine what they do their countrymen.

As a nation and what we do to each other, to our animals and to our environment just proves how sick we are as a nation. And how hypocritical we are to invade/liberate any other country.

Americans are worse than terrorists it seems. Any day of the week, you can read/hear a story about how Americans torture animals and themselves.

Of course I love Rocky Horror Picture Show. I've been called Damnit Janet all my life.

But the real story is: My first day of kindergarten I was really excited to impress my teacher with my amazing brilliance. I was ready to graduate by the end of the week. Smile

I wanted to raise my hand the first. But I was confused by my teacher's first question.

"What is your Christian name?"

What!?!?! I hadn't heard of this at all. I had even practiced spelling my name and I could write my first name and part of my really long last name.

So I raised my hand and I answered with my first and last name.

Apparently she wanted our FULL name. Meaning our MIDDLE name as well.

She prompted the class, "what do you parents call you when they are mad?"

Oh!!! I know! I know!! I had this!

Please try to maintain civility. I for one do not think this meme was created by Hillary people. More likely Trumpists or other right wing sewer rats. If you are going to blast people for having opinions with which you do not agree, that's fine but (1) be specific and (2) address the person with whom you disagree rather than leave a random comment in this thread.

My post makes no mention of who is responsible for the "glow sticks" meme. That you chose to call people out here for making it seem as if we all are doing that is misleading at best. There was one comment I believe that suggested Hillary or her supporters were behind this, hardly a majority of the opinions expressed in the comments.

As for turning Republican, Bernie Sanders is not the one soliciting funds from Republican establishment donors. That would be the other candidate for the Dem nomination.

Hillary needs him more than he needs her but America needs a Democrat more than our hurt feelings. If it is Hillary, so be it. As for your insistence on "being specific" and "addressing the person.." I find that a clever way to deflect the reasoning behind which this original post was brought up. "Making no mention of of who is responsible" is like saying, yeah here's a fire, yeah I'm holding this torch, but let's see if it spreads, BTW, I didn't say I started it. I think you are the one that needs to maintain civility, use a little common sense when you post this crap because it only incites hate and polarization, you know, like the GOP.

This entire genre of home experimentation has been repeatedly debunked because these experiments don't work! The chemical reactions yielding chemoluminescence in glow sticks took decades to research and perfect for industrial consumption. There were reasons the medieval Alchemists did not ever get this technology!

So, not only will these experiments maim, cripple, or kill those stupid enough to perform them, but they will never yield the chemoluminescent glow the experimenter seeks, either!

I agree: this ought to be repeatedly reported to the FBI until direct action is taken to put the poster of this garbage in an institution where he belongs.

There are also those of an anarchist bent who merely seek to wreak havoc among those who aren't as hip, slick, and cool as they.

This is an insult to honest anarchists, and one we haven't earned. It goes back to the dynamite bomb that was thrown at the Haymarket Square in Chicago, Illinois on May 4, 1886. Although the MSM of the time attempted to blame the anarchist speakers at the event for the bomb and the harm it did, today the strongest suspicion lay between the police themselves and the McCormick Reaper Company, both of whom had vested interests in blackening the anarchists' names as much as possible.

Thank you for understanding!

is fully capable of resorting to sick ideas too.

All it takes is one operations chief with a fanatical grudge against dissenters, one figure like J. Edgar Hoover in charge of a secretive government agency, or one free-agent saboteur type like G. Gordon Liddy.

A big part of COINTELPRO was sowing discord and mutual suspicion among anti-war, Black-Power, and other counterculture groups and actors.

Remember 2001 too, and the anthrax that was mailed to members of the Congress and the press, shutting down the Capitol for weeks. How did that anthrax from Fort Detrick get into those envelopes anyway — scrawled with fake, crude slogans to try to pin the deed on Arabs?
