These folks are so good, they can neutralize an attack from tear gas, pepper spray and rubber bullets... with just one quick trip to the hardware store for a half dozen leaf blowers and a case of insulation foam caulk tubes.
Wow, impressive! .....

(6,207 posts)Trump said Covid-19 is a democratic hoax. Trump says this is a hoax, Trump said that is a hoax. It's all a hoax!
For the first time, I'm convinced there is a hoax.
This Democrat believes that all these
"aggressive, destructive, anti-American, riots in the city streets" that are happening all over the country and that require uniformed, armed, unidentified, unwelcome Trump ordered goons deployed to kidnap Americans and to drive them away in unmarked vans. To beat with batons, tear gas, and pepper spray Americans using their FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS to protest. IS A PEREPERTRATED HOAX dreamed up by the delusional moron in the White House.
A HOAX to disrupt the election coming this fall. Trump sees the polling number and KNOWS they're no HOAX. Trump knows the American people have finally seen the string of Trump's lies for what they are LIES.
He needs to convince his dwindling base that if he doesn't win it's because the election was rigged against him.
It's a hail mary pass which is all he has left.

A $149 battery/plug-in 18" Ryobi pushes up to 2,400 CFM

That's right, Ryobi makes you buy the batteries and charger separately. Add another $100 for 2 batteries & charger.
Still, the thing is only 15 pounds.
