3D printed tourniquet: Day 2 of Gaza field trials ends badly (May 14)
- firic 8y ago> Conclusions: At the time of writing, there were 52 people killed and 2410 wounded during today’s peaceful Palestinian protests. You can see some videos here [1] of the "peaceful" protesters throwing explosives, firebombs and rocks. You can see them trying to pull the boarder fence down and them rolling burning tires towards the boarder. If those people are peaceful I wounder what the author would consider violent.

- mrguyorama 8y agoWow. I am very out of the loop. What the hell is happening? > exploding bullets that are causing severe injuries reported today and on other days How is this okay?!
- olliej 8y agoIt’s not - Israel’s army is among the small set of armies that continues to use illegal munitions (I recall they were using cluster bombs a few years ago). I am unclear why they feel it necessary, but that’s how their army operates (not helped by their current nationalist PM) :-/
- mrguyorama 8y agoAren't frangible and hollow-point bullets banned by international treaties, but legal for American police forces to use?
- slededit 8y agoThe geneva convention only covers militaries not police forces. Regardless "international law" is a bit of a misnomer. It exists only at the tolerance of sovereigns who can and do ignore it whenever it suits them.
