Alleged Chemical Attack Sends 'Furries' Flying In Chicago
In a particularly vicious alleged chemical attack, thousands of MidWest FurFest "Furries" - the term for people who dress up in expensive animal costumes and role-play (sometimes sexually) as anthropomorphic critters - were evacuated when chlorine gas was released in the Chicago Hyatt hotel in which they were nesting. As AP reports, authorities are investigating the release of a gas that sent 19 "people dressed like dogs and foxes," as a criminal matter - as someone apparently intentionally left chlorine powder in a ninth-floor hotel stairway, causing the gas to spread. Does give one paws for thought though, eh?
Authorities are investigating the release of a gas that sickened several hotel guests and forced thousands of people - many dressed as cartoon animals - to evacuate the building.
The Midwest FurFest drew 4,600 attendees this year, which means a lot of people stood to be poisoned if the apparent attack were successful. Luckily, the leak was obvious due to the chemical's pungent odor, and attendees were evacuated from the Chicago-area Hyatt about 30 minutes after the leak was detected shortly after midnight. Chlorine exposure can cause symptoms ranging from blurry vision to a condition called acute lung injury, and in up to 1 percent of exposure cases, people die.
A ?hazmat team found the source of the gas in a hotel stairwell—a pile of powdered chlorine—and the incident sent 19 people, who were complaining of dizziness and other medical issues, to the hospital. (A police investigation into who put the chlorine there is ongoing.)
By 4:21 AM, the Rosemont Police Department gave the all-clear and allowed the furries to continue their party. " As we wake up today we want to continue to provide the best possible convention that we can, despite the trying circumstances," FurFest organizers said in a ?statement. "We ask you to continue to be patient, and remember that the volunteers who make Midwest FurFest happen intend to give 110 percent to make sure that the fun, friendship, and good times of Midwest FurFest 2014 overshadow last night's unfortunate incident."
But as AP adds, the furries do not seem worried that this is the starte of trend...
Kit McCreedy, a 28-year-old from Madison, Wisconsin, said he didn't think the incident would further disrupt Midwest FurFest, which was in its final day.
"I think we'll recover from this," said McCreedy, his fox tail swinging behind him as he headed back inside. "People are tired but they're still full of energy."
Others said they didn't know why anyone would try to upset the convention that includes dance contests and panel discussions on making the costumes. Some pointed out that the brightly colored outfits are made from fake fur and foam.
"Nobody uses real fur," said Frederic Cesbron, a 35-year-old forklift operator who flew to Chicago from his home in France. He attended the convention dressed in a fox outfit that he said is worth about $3,000.

Wow.
You see?
I toldja insanity was contagious.
Ok. So we know some of the obvious ones...
What is Rahm dressed as?
I bet they were FURious ?
Wrong. Kerry is a jackass, not a mare.
What's left of our culture seems to be degenerating at an alarming pace.
I am not so sure. This may just be another creative way for really ugly people to get laid.

OK, so there’s gotta be a fur porn site out there somewhere.

A little chlorine in the shallow end of the gene-pool?
One picture is worth a thousand words.
In this case, uh, no.
The only question though is Sylvester or Tweetie the top in that relationship?
If I have learned anything from this site, its to not click on any suspect links.
Thank you for the warning...
Chlorine gas release from powder? Yeah, some drunk furry found a 'free' five-gallon bucket of pool chlorine the hotel forgot to lock up. Probably needed a mega-ice bucket for - well, whatever furries do with ice. <yawn...>
But 4,500 furries? At a frickin' FurFest convention in downtown Chicago? Now that IS fascinating.
The blue rabbit looks vaguely familiar - something about 4-way actually being four individual hits of acid, hence the name. Who would have thunk?
Had no idea this kinda thing was going on in the Midwest. No wonder my investment in foxtail butt plug manufacturing has doubled !!!

Does this tie in with low oil prices or the derivatives bomb?
They're all there to take it in the ass anyway.
Shouldn't matter.
Alright, who farted?
Well it wasn't Princess Kate, because I have it on good authority that royal poop doesn't stink.

It's OK. It's just a social thang,
kinda like the clap.
kaiserhoff - here is a story.
years ago - i had a little friend in london, working class girl from birmingham. 3 sisters. one day, they asked their 'mum' - mommie - does the queen take poops? the mom answered 'yes girls, she does, but they are only very small ones' i told another brit friend and he added 'and her a-hole is mink lined'.
has to be true.
So pooberries?
Dates do that to shit.
They can hot box right in the animal suit.

You know everyone is on something or the other in The High Council of Furries.
Always call that one a Dutch Oven.

Right, WTF is chlorine powder?
One of them must have hiked their leg and pissed on it. First guns, then pressure cookers, now I'll have to get my pool chemicals on the black market.
Fucking terrists ;-)

My wife uses those little chlorine tabs you put in the top tank of the toilet. I hate them, personally, but one time she got REALLY inventive. Decided to use a couple HTH tabs like you would use to chlorinate a pool. Needless to say, that stuff is 1000X more potent when it's only got 2 gallons of water to dissolve in.
I could smell it in the bathroom first thing in the morning. After the first flush the air become saturated with the smell to the point I turned on the bathroom fan and left the room for a while.
Deciding that something was way WAY off, I went back in to remove the tabs from the top tank. What I wasn't expecting was the air above the water in the top tank had become super-chlorinated. It hit me like WWI Mustard Gas as soon as I lifted the lid off. I was choking, my eyes were watering and I felt lucky to make it out of the bathroom before I suffered very real harm.
Everything smelled like the negative image of chlorine for 3 days after. If you want to know what THAT smells like, think "burnt dog hair".
Why The Furrie?
HH must be right.

Dizziness from pool shock? Probably the outfit. Do yard work, then shock the pool with sweat on your shins and the duts gets on your legs. The ehmical reaction from the sodium in your sweat will have you jump in the pool real fast.
Been there done that.
A friend was at a convention or something in Pittsburgh and a Furry Fest was going on. These people have sex with each other. It "ain't" just about dressing on in silly costumes.
The pissed off pool man knows they are pervs.
Sodium? No, what burns is that you are being oxidized.
Some folks got oxidized,.
We chlorinated some folks.

Ya know, that takes balls around here ;-)
This just made my day! Great post!

Chlorine gas is obviously one of their pet peeves.

Nah.

Apparently, someone took the phrase "chlorinate the gene pool" literally.
These are grown ass people! Incredible! I just do not have the words I'm looking for.

You vixen you ;-)
There's a cool bar over in the Solomon's named for you, Ms.
It's called "Naughty Gulls".
No wonder the Japs have given up on sex...
Oh my....
That's uh.... eh er
ummmmmm
Look.... that one was an entirely new one on me and I'm not sure I'll be going back.
I had no clue whatsoever....
I am oft amazed at how every once in a while somebody finds something that is ....
.... Oh, golly gosh......
But those are real people in Chicago.
Is that what they really go there for?
Is that an entirely new fetish?
Did it start in Japan, per chance?
Oh boy... Can you imagine what those costumes smell like after hours of sweat and....
Think I'll catch an old movie in TCM or something.
That's disturbing.
Hope all's well, Ms C
I already clicked on that link 3 times. Hope the wife doesn't catch me, I have no idea on how to splain my way out of that...
There is a cartoon on that page dated 1989.
Now mirrors on the ceiling and a little B&D - okay ... but since 1989? What else is out there. Wow.
Very creative.
Real people have cultural products, that is what I was showing you, a glimpse into their world. The cartoons are an "aspect" or "facet" that reflects some of what is in their heads. I know a few folk who are into this. I cannot say I connect, I don't. I can understand a lot, typically. I do see it as harmless, just odd.
I don't talk much about myself beyond saying I am a professor. I know about some dark stuff because of what I do for a living. This is kinda airy and light weight compared to where I have to be able to put my head to do what I do.
Thanks for the education Professor !!!
wow! some of those look like pokemon! and that explains Japan's problem.
Use a stronger warning.

Looks like some cops got ahold of him.
Apparently it's not a terrorist attack when the victims are considered fools.
I heard that some of the pigs were NSA, and other farm animals, (alleged bankers) were carrying nail guns.
Yet another sure sign these are the final days of the empire...
Evolution in reverse.
is this some kind of lifestyle or just a hobby?
I'll thumper!
Powdered chlorine? As in bleach or pool treatment? Is the powder that volatile? I have powdered bleach for laundry, never had to evacuate
yeah, chlorine alone doesn't do much
The pool treatment powder is a tad stronger than laundry bleach. Not as bad as a cyinder of the green gas, but it does emit the characteristic aroma of chlorine when it gets wet, or even in humid air.
Bottom line, there was probably enough chlorine to smell bad, but not enough to really endanger the furries.
[edit]
It's worth noting that if you pee on it or add any of a number of household chemicals, you can get quite a bit of chlorine out of it. It can even start a fire with some things.
It was all going pretty well untill Hotel management decided to turn the hose on the furries to get them out of the hotel...
"I think we'll recover from this," said McCreedy, his fox tail swinging behind him as he headed back inside.
That was some nice tongue-in-cheek reporting.
Now DHS is going to send gun and badge thug SWAT teams to raid homes suspected of being in possession of chlorine powders or bleach and ammonia.

If we don't have cams covering our stairwells, then it is just an invitation for ISIS! We need a StairWay Czar to fix this!!!
Hahaha stairwayczar, I just about lost it
They hate us for our fetishes.
After seeing MsC's link above, so do I.
A stairwell czar? Will they need to go to Ashkenazi to get one, like they did for the Ebola czar?

so no one dressed up as a shark, to be jumped over?
This is an all time low. How dare they attack Furries.
Maybe someone had a roadkill necrophiliac fetish.
I used to know a furry. It is indeed a lifestyle. One of the highlights is to have massive orgies while dressed in your fur suit. On the whole I can't claim to condone such behavior, although I'm certainly not going to get involved enough to stop it.
The cleaning bill alone would lead me to bankruptcy.
Sounds like a sweat soaked affair...
Dude.... that's seriously fucked up.
Brings new meaning to the term "the drippins", don't it Knuks ???
How can they do that with those suits on? Do they have special hatches for your special parts?
You obviously haven't been clicking the links.
Chlorine? I thought you used fire and black men beating on drums to flush out your prey.

Who pissed on it? Seriously.
If they are adults, and for any who include sex into the harmless fantasy if they avoid simulating it in public, what is the harm? We have comic-con, star trek conventions, superman type conventions, I've had to wait while the gay parade passes the intersection - floats with assless chaps, whips and more and simulated sex slowly rolling by in public. And it they do have orgy's, fine for them, as long as they are adults and not in public.
But please no beastiality, animals don't consent.
What bothers me more are the highly sexual videos and presentations trying to make kids become sexual. Milley Cyrus and even Taylor Swift like to do videos using fantasy creatures and people dressed as furries while performing a very sexual dance routine. Add in the occult images, symbols, hand gesters and poses that they show as being "cool, or what ever the term is" and that is more of a concern. Why is it so cool to pretend to be a member of the occult and depraved? Don't think it includes Taylor Swift? Just like the other's, especially the Disney kids, they have begun the transformation from miss white dressed pure fun girl to dark sexual with occult hand jesters. Bet Swift is presented as bisexual or gay soon as well.

Obama has sex with a Wookie, why can't others?
That's not sex. That's rutting.
Imagine being a road warrior in Chicago on "regular" business; wiped out after a day of making sales calls, looking forward to a stiff drink, and having to look across the hotel bar at these freaks. Then sharing the elevator up to your floor with a pack of these losers, with their tails stopping the door from fully closing until they cram in so tight you get to smell their rarely-laundered costumes.
Can't really blame someone from trying to scatter these varmints with some chemicals.
Funny that some folks are worried that people dressing in funny costumes for a weekend of getting together with like minded people is somehow a sign of the end times. As Venkman would say "Dogs and Cats, Living together, MASS HYSTERIA!"
Frankly civilization hit bottom when someone got high in the desert and dreamed up a religion that depended on them killing everyone who disagreed with them.
These folks are just taking Halloween to a new level. Did anyone catch the BDSM convention down the street?

I'd rather be surrounded by a group of Furries than a group of Central bankers.
Chemical attacks on Furries but meetings at Jackson Hole go on without a hitch.

/not a furry
I sense that a Furry security law will be brought to the House floor soon.
State legislatures will be evaluating furry marriage laws.
I bought one of those. They suck. Put it in and I was chased by hounds and guys on horses all day.
Seriously though, leave these folks alone. It's hard for ugly people to get laid or find love. I'm just assuming this as I am incredibly handsome. Besides, I consider myself an honorary Furry as I have not shaved my junk in six months. It's an angry mess down there.
Somehow i bet a roadrunner was involved in this assasination plot. Phft phft, beep, beep.
There was a CSI Las Vegas episode on this very scenario a few years ago. An attack at a furry convention.
