Experience with Tear Gas

Today have been a bad day yesterday. Well, it's 2 in the morning now, so yes, it's yesterday. I was suppose to go to my aunt's house in Pandan Perdana. As i was travelling back from Klang, i notice a lot of people in the train station in KL Sentral. I thought it was normal as there is a PC fair in KLCC. As i reach Masjid Jamek to switch LRT (Putra to Star) around 2pm, i notice there is some sort of riot going on. I sort of, froze there, as the riot happen right in front of the Star LRT station. Then, i hear something fired, and there is smokes. Then suddenly everyone start running away from it, and i know at once that it is the tear gas.

I ran too, then stop at top of a staircase with some peoples. I thought everything will back to normal after a while. Then suddenly, i smell smokes (like those from fireworks), and suddenly my nose and eyes hurt. Knowing that the gas have spread, i ran further away from the smoke, barely able to see what's in front because of tears. Luckily there are some kind person who offer me water to clear my eyes. The tear gas effect gone after a while. They really mean tear gas, that. I make it safely back to my aunt's house one hour after that, having to walk to Puduraya for that LRT. What a day.....
