Personally, I think some furry did this for attention and as an excuse to go 'See, we really are a fursecuted minority! BAWWWWW!'.

I am reminded of that scene in Four Lions where Barry suggests bombing the mosque.


(Sorry for the shit quality, it was the only vid I could find of that scene)

I don't buy the janitor screw up deal. If a caretaker had spilled this stuff, he'd of cleaned it up ASAP just to prevent such a situation from happening.

Considering the janitor screw up deal, one would have to wonder: if the janitor did spill the stuff, why didn't he clean it up ASAP considering the danger it would bring to one's health?

Have they established yet that the chlorine powder wasn't just convention organisers going to extreme lengths to keep out Tumbles the Stairdragon?

What if it was his way of getting vengeance?

Someone over on /cow/ has a compelling theory as to the cause:

Silently, as the shadowed figures ran away in the night, one could hear a faint sound... an animalistic cry that many kiwis have heard before.

"Julaaaaaaay!" The voices called in a joyous tone, happy that they had done an epic ween that many alogs and spergs coveted.

I wonder what its like to be so autistic that launching a chemical attack on a furry convention seems like a reasonable course of action.

When you want them to yiff in hell and kill them ironically like an animal is gassed at a shelter. I think the logic here is obvious. It's not called being autistic, it's called being fucking batshit insane to actually follow through with that thought.

I'm not sure yet if we can decide that the use of chlorine gas was meant to be symbolic. Powdered chlorine is the sort of thing that a big hotel maintenance department might have on hand - it could have been an opportunistic choice.

Aw man, I knew working as a lifeguard all those years and majoring in biochemistry would finally be worth a shit here.
These assholes are not 'terrorists', they're assholes. When I first read 'chlorone gas' I thought it was actually chlorine gas, like the stuff Germans used in WWI. Thankfully it was chlorine powder, that shit they let me handle when I was 16.
Those 19 people probably didn't need to go to the hospital. Chlorine powder (calcium hypoclorite) and tablets (same thing) can make it hard to breathe or make you nauseous, but a few minutes outside usually does the trick. It's not the chlorine, as calcium hypoclorite is a stable chemical, that hurts you, it's the smell and lack of oxygen (Think how smelling a fresh dead skunk makes you gag or how smoking makes you high.)
I'm not saying it's a janitorial hiccup because chlorine powder is never far from the chlornator of a pool. There's no reason a 5 gal bucket (what it usually comes in) should spill fucking everywhere. Applecat said there wasn't even a pool there, not sure of she was being serious. Even then, as husbando and c-no brought up, even the worst janitor in the world would at least take a broom to that shit.

So yeah, good job assholes. You're going to jail, you've given a minority a legit reason to cry persecution, and you achieved absolutely fucking nothing.

You know something? If this happened at a children's hospital, there'd be lynch mobs being formed to go after the perpetrator. Meanwhile, there are people out there on other websites (even "reputable" sites like NPR) actually cheering on the guy who did this at the convention. It's good to see that we're all on the same boat and call out the incident for what it is: attempted murder. I know that there are some furries who are far from normal, but even that doesn't excuse what happened at the convention. Assuming that this was deliberate, the perpetrator won't be roaming free for long.

Shitposters are everywhere. Of course, in their eagerness to shit things up, they forgot that the Hotel Staff would have also been killed.

Glad to see whoever did this (I'm not discounting the possibility of jilted lover) read Goosebumps through Chemistry Class and skipped that episode of Madoka.

"Remember kids, don't pay attention in Chemistry Class. You might just prevent several people dying from chlorine poisoning!"

Jesus Christ, how much of an asshole do you have to be to actually try to gas hundreds of innocent people who are just trying to have a good time? The guy who did this is like what would happen if Hitler was from 4 chan.

I think whoever gassed the hotel just took their hate of furries way too seriously. I don't like rap music, but you don't see me jumping out during a Lil Wayne concert and shooting everyone.
