The OWS pepper spray incident

"A cyanide is a chemical compound that contains the cyano group, -C≡N, which consists of a carbon atom triple-bonded to a nitrogen atom.[1] Cyanides most commonly refer to salts of the anion CN−.[2][3] Most cyanides are highly toxic. [4]

In organic chemistry compounds containing a -C≡N group are known as nitriles and compounds that contain the -N≡C group are known as isocyanides. Organic nitriles and isocyanides are far less toxic because they do not release cyanide ions easily."


No even close to a fair comparison. But don't let that stop you from sounding like an idiot as usual TRUT.

It's this kind of mentality that puts personal liberty in the rear view.

So where do you draw the line? Are you advocating that people should be able to go and sit wherever they want whenever they want and nothing should be done about it?

How about you just go and sit in the middle of a public street. Remember, it's JUST a street.

Cyanide poisoning after bitter almond ingestion.

Enjoy the read.

Ha, raw almonds. Very comparable to the main ingredient in chilis being what is used to make pepper spray.

As someone who scorned a peer-reviewed article in an academic journal (The Western Journal of Medicine) simply because it was written thirty years ago (apparently, almonds have evolved since then), I am no longer concerned with what you think.

I didn't scorn the actual article and what is in it, I scorned the article because it was the best you could do and was an incredible reach to attempt to make a point. As per usual for yourself.

After having their organic almond businesses devastated by the USDA's bizarre decision requiring mandatory chemical fumigation of almonds, the almond industry is fighting back. Fifteen American almond growers have filed a lawsuit against the USDA in an attempt to repeal the requirements that all almonds grown in California be fumigated or pasteurized. (Virtually all almonds sold in the United States are grown in California.)

Since the USDA's ruling in 2007, organic almond growers in California have been economically devastated by the mandatory fumigation of almonds. Because USDA rules don't apply to almonds being imported from other countries, however, the industry has seen a huge shift away from U.S. growers and towards almond growers in Spain and other countries. Some American almond farmers have even called the USDA's decision "a plan to destroy the U.S. almond industry and put small organic farmers out of business."

The mandatory almond fumigation requirement is seen by health-conscious consumers as not merely bizarre, but downright fraudulent. That's because the USDA's regulations allow fumigated and pasteurized almonds to be labeled "raw," thereby intentionally deceiving the consuming public and instantly destroying consumer trust in the labeling of all almonds.

When there's a greater cost for bystanders than grass stains on their boots.

No, and I'm hardly seeing how one could draw that conclusion from what I've said. Are police truly incapable of moving a person? Nope, they just want to use their bells and whistles on smelly hippies because they know people like you are indifferent to how wrong/right it is.

Lackluster comparison... motor vehicles have to use the streets. People don't have to use the sidewalk.


Just to clear some things up:

-I do not agree with OWS. It's just another rabid group reaction to how much everything sucks right now.

-No, this isn't Kent State, but it in no way means this isn't ****ed up. I'm sorry, do protests have to cost lives to send a message? Some of y'all are too comfortable with this for my taste. It's a little depressing to see most of the country is following suit.

-Who cares what the **** is in pepper spray? Seriously. If our police force is too inept to simply pick up a nonviolent protester and move them to a legal location to park their bum, then maybe they do need to pepper spray old ladies to get something done.

Perhaps I'm missing something but didn't what you posted at least imply that imported almonds do not not have to be fumigated or pasteurized?

Again, I might have missed something but it sounds like imported almonds can in fact come into the country "raw".

Volnation is the only place that an "Occupy" thread turns into an argument over almonds.
