You really cant help but put yourself in the victims shoes. Having dreams of becoming a doctor then one day your whole life changes and you cant do your dream anymore. It would be so scary to go blind not be able to see anything anymore you have to become dependent on on thers, you lose alot of your independence. I can understand that protests can become unsafe or even violent so you need tactics to over come that but with such numbers of people getting very hurt and permanently disabled I think thye should change there tactics. They should use more tear gas and change it to bean bag guns, a larger object that cant fit right into eyes .
