Colombia Riot Police Tear-Gas Protesters – Short Clip 2
| Produced by Jason | 10 Comments »| Travel Videos
While walking the streets of Cali, Colombia, Aracely and Jason of TwoBackpackers.com noticed significant traffic jams through the city. We discovered that bus operators were protesting by blocking the major 4 lane road through the city. Out of curiosity and the opportunity to capture some great video we joined the crowd. Soon we were running through a park filled with tear gas.

Crazy video guys! Glad that you are ok – and Aracely was even smiling there, so I’m thinking you weren’t in too much danger!!

I think the only reason Aracely had that crying smile was because she couldn’t get over the fact that I was enjoying the entire experience. It definitely was unique.
Remember that one time….we got tear-gassed in Colombia.
A great story for the kids some day.

Exactly! I wish I had my big camera with me. Although that one would have been harder to hide.
I got caught up in something like that in Athens. No tear gas, but loud bangs. I was out of there in case bullets, bricks or bottles started to fly.

Once we realized that it was no longer controlled and that they were just shooting tear gas canisters in the air everywhere, we bolted.
Now that I am home I have enjoyed catching up. I know the Columbia tear gas episode must have given your moms a bit of a fright. Stay away from the domestic turmoil…and for heavens sake don’t post it on the website I don’t want to be reading about your disappearance on the internet….maybe I am over reacting and just a little paranoid. It comes from living through the 60’s
This is my way of experiencing the 70s since I missed it. Lol.
A nice run keeps you fit…. especially when there is tear gas in the game, then you run faster.
I just imagine a demonstration of bus drivers in Germany, unbelievable that there would be tear gas!
Just this week was a strike by Lufthansa pilots…. I can’t remember to have seen tear gas pictures at the airports.
