Just had that theoretical thought on reading a post about riot shields here. Is it feasible to just throw some solvent on shields to weaken them?

    No. Unless it's hydrofluoric acid nothing is eating through a few mm of polymer quickly. (And unless you are a chemistry teacher, if you have HFA you are about to be brought up on terrorism charges)

        If you read chapo.chat and you have a carboy of HFA sitting in your garage they'll make up a crime just for you.

      jfc I'd be so fucking mad at anyone who brought HFA to a protest. it takes very little to kill someone and a breeze when you throw would be enough to kill a whole bunch of people at random. it's fucking stupid as a weapon.
