Topic: Chemical Burn

An investigation is underway regarding 20 patriots who suffered chemical burns and eye injuries at a Tucson rally. Victim Mayra Rodriguez described symptoms of blindness and intense burning that required emergency room treatment. Speculation suggests the use of a localized chlorine gas release delivered via a modified water bottle to target the area where Trump entered the stage.

Michael Yon describes the BASF plant in Ludwigshafen as a "Fairbund" system where 45,000 different chemicals are produced in an integrated fashion. He reports that if the plant loses its natural gas supply, it may face a permanent shutdown, as many of its processes have run continuously since the 1960s. In response to the energy crisis, Germans are reportedly clear-cutting forests to burn green wood for heat this winter.
