Three Separate Pepper Spray Incidents at Schools

2008_09_pepspray.jpgIt 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.

Sure beats bullets!

 

Thankfully Oleoresin Capsicum is still cheap.

 

and available on Canal Street.

 

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.

 

"What kind of pussy 300 pound bouncer uses pepper spray?

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.

 

I accidently pepper sprayed myself once.
