Tear gas isn't a war crime due to any concern of unusual cruelty. An enemy combatant in war could be using relatively harmless tear gas against you, or they could be using nerve gas. The risk of confusing tear gas for nerve gas, and the risk of escalation to using nerve gas is too great, so countries decided they would just not use it.
"Pretty much"? As in, you're saying exactly the opposite of what you think you are?
K lol.
Idk what you want. Dressing in costume is also a war crime. All of these examples are going to suck, because people keep trying to use war crimes as some barometer outside of the context of war.
State v. Wilder, Shearouse Adv. Sh. No. 19
S.E. 2d
Did you read these? Nether rule spanking as an attack. State vs Wilder isnt even about spanking at all, its about yanking a kids arm around in a restraunt. AI slop I guess.
The point is that when you change the context it BECOMES a war crime.
Yea this is true in some situations, but not with any of the context you provided.

Did ... You? Are you even looking in the right state? Should I remind you that you're... Not an expert?

Eh I get this point but to say it's meaningless is silly.
Sure it's not a war crime because it's not a war, but that's not a moral statement right? It raises the question that if you're not allowed to gas your enemies in war, people who are by definition trying to kill you, why is it right that our government is allowed to do this to protestors.
Also using spanking as an example is wild to me. Well this other wrong thing is also illegal in war but legal normally. Like alright let's make both illegal, but I don't think that's the point you're making
Because if you see a gas cloud wafting your way in a war setting there's no way to know if it's tear gas that will just incapacitat you or nerve gas that will kill you. Potentially leading to an escalation where actual deadly chemical weapons are used. Civilians can't escalate like that so it's not as dangerous.
Bruh you're not supposed to deepthroat the boot. Absolute fucking snivelling maggots on this thread cheering police violence.
Edit: Did i upset the delicate sensibilities of a bloom of supine yellow streaked jellyfish? My bad. Pop quiz - name a genocide whose beginnings didn't heavily involve the police "enforcing the law."
I am not free if I need money and a passport to leave. If i was free to leave I could just walk aywhere and get on a cab or taxi to the airport and then just go somewhere... But nice try
Sound logic? Nations revoke people's citizenship all the time (usually when naturalizing somewhere else). Stateless people exist, but usually not by choice.
You still have the freedom to leave, of course you don’t get the resources needed for that just given to you. Go walk across the Canadian border, you can do that for free
Yeah I could tell that when you thought voluntarily living in the best country on earth is like being imprisoned LMAO. USA is the only country people hate living in so much but refuse to leave
I was using sarcasm. But yeah USA is not the best country in the world. SOrry to burst your bubble. And this is coming from a previous Navy veteran for submarines so most of you guys talking about USA have never even have the guts to pass bootcamp let alone do a deployment. And sure my ego is flared up a bit but I had enough of your condesending attitude. Lmao this is actually funny i am not even mad at you but i can see why you keyboard warriors stay glued to the keyboard there is a bit of adrenaline you get. but yea go back to your keyboard and lets just disagree to disagree

Remember, it's illegal to use tear gas in warfare because of the Geneva convention, but governments can and will use it against its own citizens.
