Just a reminder for people who may not know, in light of protestors at UCLA being shot in the face with rubber bullets— rubber bullets are not bullets made of rubber. They are metal bullets encased in rubber.

Despite being called “non-lethal” or sometimes “less lethal”, they are well known to cause death and permanent disability.

Here’s a photo showing their size— these are actual rubber bullets used during the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020.

A photo showing three large rubber bullets lying in a human hand. The smallest spans the length of four fingers, the largest spans from thumb to pinky across the palm.ALT

Do not let them downplay the severity of what they are subjecting this students to for standing against genocide. Stay safe and stay educated.

Even if its was pure rubber it’s still going to cause damage when you get hit, especially if those cunts fire in close range.
