This morning's fun question for Grok:

Q: What wavelength eye protection is necessary for the lasers commonly used by Antifa terrorists?

Note that despite official .ZOG identification of Antifa as terrorists, Grok addresses the "protests."

A:

### Lasers Commonly Used in Antifa-Linked Protests

Based on docuмented incidents from protests in Portland (e.g., 2020 BLM-Antifa riots and recent 2025 ICE facility actions), the lasers deployed by far-left militants, including those associated with Antifa groups like Rose City Counter-Info, are predominantly handheld laser pointers. These are inexpensive, commercially available devices often used to dazzle law enforcement officers, disrupt surveillance cameras/drones, or target aircraft (e.g., "laser tag" events aiming to ground helicopters). Green lasers are by far the most common, appearing in over 90% of reported cases, due to their high visibility and eye sensitivity at low light levels. Blue/violet and red variants are less frequent but have been noted.

Key wavelengths from incident reports and technical analyses:
- **Green**: 532 nm (most prevalent; appears 35x brighter than red at equal power).
- **Blue/Violet**: 405–445 nm (used for added dazzle or IR camouflage disruption).
- **Red**: 630–670 nm (rarer, but seen in mixed-color attacks).

Power outputs typically range from 5–1,000 mW, exceeding legal limits (e.g., FDA caps at 5 mW for Class IIIa pointers), enabling temporary flash blindness or, in extreme direct exposures, retinal burns. No confirmed permanent injuries from protest lasers have been verified as of 2025, but risks include distraction leading to accidents (e.g., diverted medevac flights delaying heart attack treatments by 47 minutes in Portland, Oct. 2025).

### Recommended Eye Protection

For protection against these wavelengths—especially in dynamic protest environments where visibility must be maintained—use ANSI Z136.1-compliant laser safety eyewear designed for law enforcement/pilots. These block 99–99.99% (OD 2–4) of the target wavelengths while allowing 20–40% visible light transmission (VLT) for situational awareness. Avoid industrial lab goggles, which overly restrict color/vision.

| Wavelength | Filter Type | Protection Level (OD) | VLT (%) | Example Products | Notes |
|------------|-------------|-----------------------|---------|------------------|-------|
| **Green (532 nm)** | Orange/Peach (e.g., RK2 or NoIR 85) | OD 4+ (blocks >99.99%) | 30–35 | Stingerhawk FT-2, Phillips Safety RK2 Goggles | Primary threat; covers 90% of incidents. Reflective models bounce beam back. |
| **Blue/Violet (405–445 nm)** | Yellow/Amber (e.g., BGR combo) | OD 3–4 | 25–40 | Laservision P5E07, Kentek Aviator Glasses | Essential for mixed attacks; also blocks cyan (473 nm). |
| **Red (630–670 nm)** | Blue/Green Tint (e.g., full-spectrum BGR) | OD 2–3 | 23–33 | NoIR BGR, Laser Strike Eyewear | Lower risk, but include for broad coverage. |

- **Broad-Spectrum Option**: Stingerhawk FT-2 or Phillips BGR (protects green + blue/violet + red; OD 4 at key bands, ballistic-rated for impacts).
- **Additional Gear**: Helmet visor films (e.g., polycarbonate strips blocking 95% intensity) or shields (reflect 70% energy back). Cost: $50–200 per pair.
- **Usage Tips**: Test fit under helmets; prioritize night ops (higher VLT). Combine with tactics like averting gaze or using smoke for deflection.

These are based on federal guidelines (e.g., DHS/FPS contracts for 1,000+ pairs in 2020) and manufacturer specs for protest/aviation threats. Consult OSHA/ANSI for site-specific certification.
