I'm sure by now everybody has seen the news footage of Mika Brzezinski's reaction. I think this image will explain my reaction, b/c I refuse to go off on a rant.
Still my heart goes out to everyone who to everyone who was affected by this attack.

Apparently Midwest Fur Fest got a "gas leak" which, from what I understand, was a chlorine gas attack.
As far as I know at least. I also heard that its being considered a terrorist attack because 19 people were sent to the hospital.
I haven't really followed the events though cause I never found interest in conventions.
I'm just hoping that all those who were affected are alright :<

The scuttlebutt is, it was actually rubber furries that did. Two idiots that were trying to chlorinate (A process to make the latex shiny without using oils or lubes) their rubber clothing cheaply and newbishly... when the chemicals started reacting, they rushed the bottle outside but it broke on the steps. Thus creating this whole mess in the first place.
It doesn't matter if you think a group of people are incredibly weird, you don't laugh when you talk about an incident that sends 19 people to the hospital. It shouldn't really matter that it was a group of furries, because we're all people. 19 people struggling to breathe, so fucking glad that amuses these folks!
If you want to know what exactly happened, this article by the local Chicago tribune is the best with honest information, and no furry b.s. -

One day, one day people will hear the word "furry" and not care. They will accept the fact that we aren't going anywhere. But until that day we have to deal with all the hate, false information, slander, and any other form of verbal and physical abuse. It pains me that people hear "furry" and run away or insult us. The thing is, if no one outside the fandom heard of furries then there would be no hate. Its really childish to treat furries as different people. Being a furry is a hobby for most of us like building models or flying RC planes. Everyone needs to remember that the person standing next to you is a human being, they have feeling just like you. Its time to start to caring for one another instead of hurting, once we do that then we can move forward to greater goals. S.T.H.S.T.L. (Stop the hate, start the love!)
