Oh, this is that one that happened a while ago. Could have swore Ducky already made a topic about it. At any rate, she was hospitalized TWO DAYS after she was allegedly exposed to teargas. If somebody has an asthmatic attack or similar impact, that's going to happen to pretty quickly. It also mentions she's allergic to peanuts. When a person is exposed to peanuts, they don't take ill two days later either. The family has no clue what actually happened and they're just looking for somebody to blame.

The use of tear gas in war is illegal under the Geneva Protocol, but hey, the US does whatever it wants.

lolwut? Most nations use teargas domestically, so the US is hardly alone. More importantly, teargas is far less harmful than things we use in *actual* warfare, including live rounds. Are you suggesting that you want them to use those things instead of teargas? If so, that's pretty fucked up.

There are ample reports out there of fatalities resulting from tear gas use, and it's really not hard to imagine severe respiratory irritants triggering fatal respiratory distress in people with compromised breathing (e.g. asthma). Duckbear's account of it makes it sound like her death was unrelated, but Duckbear's wording shouldn't be treated as absolute truth in any case.

While Ducky's writing is terrible, he has the date in there when she was found unresponsive. I doubt even he could mess that up. Everything posted by people supporting the idea notes that the results are immediate, yet she was found unresponsive two days later (and at night, apparently).
