Three Separate Pepper Spray Incidents at Schools
It was the trifecta when the FDNY responded to three different schools where pepper spray had been released. NY1 has the rundown: The first was at A. Philiip Randolph Campus High School in Harlem. It's unclear what the circumstances were, but one student was taken to a hospital with chest pains while 16 others had burning eyes and itchy throats. The second was at a Chelsea high school, where a "14-year-old sprayed pepper spray in the cafeteria"; five students were taken to the hospital for treatment and the 14-year-old was arrested. The final one was at St. Francis Prep in Queens, where a "student claimed it fell out of her purse and discharged." She was taken into custody as 11 people were taken to hospitals.

I remember I got a bit of secondhand pepper spray when my friend drunkenly got into a fight with a 300 pound bouncer. What kind of pussy 300 pound bouncer uses pepper spray? anyway, not pleasant.

A 300 pound bouncer who did your drunk friend a favor by not beating the shit out of him.

Its pretty easy to kill a 300 LB guy by stabbing him in the inner thigh.
