Shortly after that standoff, Curtis Evans stood directly in front of the gate with an American flag. The 65-year-old Evanston resident heard about the first protest on social media and came to represent “the ideals that our country stands for.” He said tear gas and pepper balls hurt, but “five minutes later, you’re fine.”
So he probably wasn’t protesting in the sixties — by himself. Probably was carried around protests, getting his first exposure from early on.
Good sir… Mask up. Can’t protest if your lungs are burning for days.
Edit: There’s actually some guides on how to protest safely and correctly. Here’s a good link from Wired about a baseline level of protection. https://www.wired.com/story/how-to-protest-safely-gear-tips/
And find one written for your city/state, by a organization that you respect.
Dude looks like he was there in the 60’s, standing in the middle of tear-gas canisters, ripping a huge bong.
Leather lungs.
No stopping this unit.
I think he literally was. I can’t find the source, but this guy has been through it.
Curtis Evans, former Marine.
