What do they do when they’re all dressed up in those hot, expensive costumes, eat, drink and take selfies?

Indeed! Now we can react appropriately to this story: "Some murderous @$$hole tried to poison people at a hotel! Hope he spends a long time in prison.
Rather than the less appropriate: "My goodness! There are people, supposedly adult, who dress up like animals and have weirdo conventions!"

No. They have anonymous sex via the "Dr. Denton Route."
In other words, it's just a way for really ugly people to get laid by strangers.

My experience with chlorine gas has been an "Oh s**t, I'm gonna die!" kind of thing. Chlorine is not something that causes a little nausea and lightheadedness, but sheer panic and somewhat violent burning choking as the body tries to expel it.
My understanding is that, unlike phosgene, chlorine does not cause pulmonary edema for the very reasons you mentioned; turning into hydrochloride acid and burning the mucus membranes. Consequently it doesn't pass the bronchial passages into the lungs like phosgene and doesn't cause latent pulmonary edema.
But chlorine would be one torturous way to die that's for sure.

I inadvertently gassed myself once, was pool manager for a very old, very large pool built in the ‘20s with a fairly vintage chlorination system. Big baskets that you dropped “rods” of chlorine into. Had to be very careful not to drop them too quickly, no bubbles and definitely no splash which could get onto the other dry “rods” and create chlorine gas. One slipped out of my hand one day, all I remember was seeing stars, smelling what smelled like blood (salty, acrid) and out like a light. Not sure whether I’d be here if there weren’t two of us there, he saw it, covered his nose and mouth and dragged me out into fresh air.

Yeah it’s a wonderful element for its industrial uses but a nightmare for those who find themselves being disinfected from the gene pool.

I would love to see a video of the police when they first notice who they are responding to.

After working with chlorinators for pool/hot tub, the fumes are nothing good to breathe. Hope they find the perp and fry its ass. I did see a cute girl at the carry-out a while back with furry ears and a fuzzy tail. Whatever, but if she was wanting to wear them to bed, I’m wearin’ my chaps! Snicker...

1) Wife and I ran into a bunch of these weirdos a few years ago, while staying at a nearby city hotel. We were not impressed.
2) No one should have to be exposed to a toxic gas attack.

I’m sorry but what the hell is the difference? Seriously I can’t figure it out.
OMG help me that I’m trying to figure out.
