Oh, well instead of burning alive they were chocked to death......
No, CS tear gas is heavier then air. In high enough concentrations it displaces the oxygen and the people suffocate. There was evidence of this at Waco.
When CS tear gas is burned one of the chemicals released is Phasogene. It’s classified as a chemical warfare agent and is banned for use during war by treaty. One of the things it does is cause severe muscle contractions.
One little girl was found bent over in half, backwards. The contractions were so severe they broke her back.
