This is an excellent movie about this historical event:

(Also it's really, really cool that Verdun is doing this!)

Isn't it also disturbing how they went back to shooting each other after?

The 1914 Christmas truce is easily the event that gives me the most faith in humanity.

He's been in a fighting game already!

You had me at Mitsuru <3

futries totally give me the heebie jeebies... But I wouldn't drop any jokes about innocent people being attacked and injured.

You might be wrong.

All these hilarious comments after a poisonous gas attack against real life people makes me realize we're going to be just fine as a species.

serious note : do hope they catch the culprit, tis sick to intentionally do such a thing

So we're levying chemical attacks on people we don't know now — people who are minding their own business and just trying to have a good time — potentially risking their lives in the process, and you people still can't get past "hurr hurr furries" as a response? Really? The fuck is wrong with you people?

Yeah, over a dozen people were hospitalized and nearly all the top comments are joking about flushing them out or taking to the vet or shit like that. These are people who have a different hobby/lifestyle that is actually quite harmless, who got together to have a good time and be in a space where they wouldn't feel…

Hey. There are times and places for jokes. People being hurt intentionally at an event they attended to feel safe and have fun at is neither.

For those who don't know, chlorine gas is so dangerous because it combines with moisture in the lungs, turning into hydrochloric acid inside the body of anyone who breathes it in. This leads to possible third-degree burns internally, ruptured lungs, and internal hemorrhaging that leads to a painful and violent death.…

There are a bunch of jokes here, some of them lighthearted and some of them more mean-spirited. It's not inherently wrong to tell a joke, but let's try to keep in mind a few things here; first, if furries were intentionally targeted, then this was a hate crime. Second, if this really was intentional, then it was…

So there was a possible terrorist attack (because let's be honest, that's what this was if it was intentional.)

Jeez. A terrorist attacked a large group of innocents, and most people here make fun of them for their hobby.

Can we maybe not make fun of the people who have been hospitalized?

that's right, nobody deserves this much hate for doing what they love

Wow. Just... wow. There are just so many levels of weirdness to this story.
