    I wish the media would stop saying ‘nonlethal’ and start saying “less-lethal” because this shit can absolutely kill you and it did just that to at least a half dozen people I recall during the 2020 riots

      It absolutely can kill you. Even the phrase “rubber bullets” is stupid. They are regular bullets, with a thin rubber casing. If that hits you in the head or throat, you’re done.
