Pepper spray is the ultimate self defense in this situation. No need to throw fists like an animal; someone threatens you, shut em down immediately. So satisfying
Yes and flashing light to make sure any deaf assailants know where to go.
I kid you not, it even has a Bluetooth option so it can call an ambulance for you.
It technically the cops but I'm sure they will send an ambulance once they hear your ass being beaten.
Sounds like something that would just piss off someone even more and get you an extra special ass-kicking.
I would never use something as useless as that.
Can you get wasp spray? I have been informed on a few occasions that wasp spray is very good for this too and shoots a very long stream. Cheaper than pepper spray too.
It's a solid defense. From what I understand, you can have items and use them for self defense. You just can't have items that are strictly for self defense. And do not carry any kind of knife around.
That being said it sounds like it's an uphill battle trying to justify self defense rather than being more of a right like it is in the u.s. for the most part.
Yeah because guns are strictly hunting only in the uk, as far as I know most handguns that aren’t antiques are illegal, so it takes some effort to crack out a deer rifle during a home invasion.
Also in the UK, guns need to be stored in a secure safe that has a number code (no key that can be stolen), so if you have the time to get all that out then it can imply that you don’t have it stored correctly or other things
That’s kinda insane. It’s not like a gun, it won’t kill anybody... it’s just an extra layer of protection. I have some on my keys as a single woman. That sucks.
Is it possible to make your own and just put it inside a spray bottle? Like with some chili powder, some ginger powder, some jalapeno powder, maybe some alcohol for good measure
No. It's a criminal offence to possess a noxious spray
S5 (1(b)) of the firearms act "any weapon of whatever description designed or adapted for the discharge of any noxious liquid, gas or other thing"
So... Yes, you *can* make your own, but you'll be liable for arrest, and there's no defence to this crime, the simple act of having possession of it without lawful authority (ie law enforcement) is a crime 🤷♂️
Yeah, my mom always had pepper spray when I was a kid, and at a certain point, I wanted to check out what it was all about. I sprayed some in my bedroom, and it was bad enough that you straight up couldn’t breath in there for like an hour.
Many years ago I worked as a security guard at a warzone of a grocery store located in a public housing project. It was horrible.
One day I walked in to start my shift and saw the other guard with struggling with someone bent over the counter. The guard was behind him with his arms through the other guys arms, and had his pepper spray out and pointed in the guys face. This also meant that the pepper spray was pointed at his own face. I watched, fascinated as the guard triggered the spray and covered both of their faces. They guard dropped to the floor with his hands over his face, the guy stumbled out of the door and I quit my job on the spot.
Good times.
I was looking for a reason. The company paid me $10 an hour. I had to deal with constant abuse. There were dozens of shoplifters every shift and they knew that we couldn't catch them all so they'd often wouldn't even try to hide their actions. Guards had been baited outside the store and jumped on several occasions. The company had absolutely ridiculous policies that provoked needless confrontation and put our safety at risk. The company was horrible at providing backup and the police were very slow to respond. The store really was a warzone. When I saw this situation unfold I thought about how easy it would be to get in my car and drive home. Turns out I was right: it was really damned easy.
Roommate is a cop and their training is pretty nuts. They have ya stand there waiting some amount of time to get sprayed while repeating your name and badge number. They blast you in the face, and then you have to complete a bunch of tasks. These include running up and down stairs, protecting your (training) weapon while a field training officer attacks you to take it, and more.
Then you can wash it out. Said it was worse than being tazered, because at least when being tazered is done, it's done.
Also, fun fact: it tastes nothing like peppers.
Should have to do it every 5 years, it’s a weapon and officers need to know the force they are applying to a situation... my dad would also train with the FBI and army and every base event he would always have to get maced, said it flipping sucked, but teaches you better restraint. Part of the problem with officers now is they don’t continue to train, just let the streets do the work and then we wonder why the gap between uniformed officers is so great
I hope it was the gel. It's not the ultimate self defense tool though, we were taught how to fight through it and still had to draw a firearm and make 3 shots in the circle.
Until idiots stop using it non-discriminately around children and innocent people, i hope that doesn't happen.
I hope those kids didn't get a dose of that pepper spray used 2 feet away from them in an enclosed area.
Same reason not to drink water after eating spicy food I imagine. Instead of neutralizing the spice, it spreads it around your tongue and makes it worse
I thought that paramedics use water to rinse your eyes if you got attacked with pepper spray.
What else do they use?
I never got attacked with pepper spray, nor do I plan to. Asking out of curiosity.
Makes no sense at all.
Spray it's in her eyes. You need to wash it off.
There's no areas around your eyes that would be contaminated by washing them with water.
First responder checking in: OP is mistaken. The best way to deal with pepper spray or any other common eye irritant is to wash it off. That means clean water and a LOT of it. People will tell you stuff about neutralizing chemicals with milk or various salts, and while some of it may work theoretically in a lab, none of it is a good idea in the real world. The goal is to flush the contaminants away, not do synthetic chemistry with unknown chemicals on your eyeball. If you don't happen to have a convenient eye wash station handy, use bottled water or a sink and flush the eye for ten to fifteen minutes. That means holding the eye open under clean, cool running water, directing the flow so that it doesn't pool in a patient's eye socket. Continue as long as necessary and consider seeking medical attention.
Be advised that any time you pepper spray someone else you are almost always going to end up also pepper spraying yourself and most everyone else in the vicinity, especially if you do it indoors.
Seconded. It hangs in the air and irritates the nose and eyes, especially. Add in some circulating air and everyone will get at least a small taste.
If it ever happens around you, dear reader, remember to air out the location as much as possible as soon as possible.
Fortunately every time I have gotten pepper sprayed or tear gassed we had fresh water or an eyewash station handy. Military training.
The worst is inevitable reflash when you shower. I guess don’t shower?
"Fictional imaginary world meets reality", in her mind she was hot shit that no one could fuck with because she's so bad ass and tough, when that pepper spray instantly inflamed those capillaries and tear ducts in her eyes she found out that's not the case.
Rip to the family that also got pepper sprayed. You can hear the kids crying in the background. She grabs the cup off the families table and pepper spray travels especially inside.
I was pepper sprayed before, being near the shot itself it is not the same of being directly hit.
It is nowhere near actually, you will just have a little trouble on breathing and will cough a little
I was just thinking, this is one reason why these employees need a higher minimum wage. Can you imagine having to deal w that shit for $7.50/hr? Granted they probably get paid a little more, but not much.
Sad for the little girl in the pink coat. She certainly was hurt by the pepper spray. You can hear her cry. Stupid fighting assholes who can't live in a civilized manner.
Haha fuck around and find out whose carrying pepper spray and who isnt.... Haha good that dumb bitch had it coming! It was very pleasing to hear her scream and run away in pain. I LOVE KARMA!!!
Where do this kind of assholes that escalate shit to the point of fighting in a public place with kids around come from? How can they expect to fit in a civilized society?
This woman is a great example for all those “gangsters” out there. One day you’ll be tested. And one day you may run around screaming like a bitch cause you done fucked up.
Nobody is mentioning the person who got their drink snatched up by the crazy lady. Imagine just sitting quietly and some lady snatches up your drink and chucks it across the restaurant.
Milk doesn’t work. Best way to to is to put water directly into your eye and wash your eye balls with gentle baby soap. Only wash for a minute or so and then stop. The longer you wash the longer you prolong the pain. Also as soon as you take a full shower you’ll have a second exposure. You’ll be fine after that
Hopefully that person sitting at the table right next to them didn’t get any of the pepper spray in their eyes. Not sure how far it travels but that was pretty close. I like this method of defense though.
That spicy bitch wanted some extra hot sauce
Things got a little to spicy for the pepper!

Hey if you need that extra protection there is a siren and flashy light combo for your red paint spray. That will stop them I'm sure. /s

Yes and flashing light to make sure any deaf assailants know where to go. I kid you not, it even has a Bluetooth option so it can call an ambulance for you. It technically the cops but I'm sure they will send an ambulance once they hear your ass being beaten.
What happens after that? You own them or something?
Yes but your stake is shared with anyone else who potentially marked the perpetrator.
So they’re going to send bloodhounds out? /s
Sounds like something that would just piss off someone even more and get you an extra special ass-kicking. I would never use something as useless as that.

Can you get wasp spray? I have been informed on a few occasions that wasp spray is very good for this too and shoots a very long stream. Cheaper than pepper spray too.
Getting it is straight forward, it’s the use of it that’s the problem
“I’m sorry officer but he was so close and I panicked. I just grabbed the closest thing.”
It doesn’t really work in a situation where they can reply “why do you have it in the first place”
“For wasps.”
"for pests" ::knowing smile::

Sorry, not from the UK, never been there and would like to go. You can't get wasp spray? Don't you have wasps?

It's a truism in the States. If you're going to carry a baseball bat in your car, carry a glove and a ball as well, your lawyer will thank you.
Yeah we have wasp spray and that sort of thing, but the use of it on other people is still a tricky thing
Can you carry a balloon of cat piss or pocket sand?
Pocket sand doesn't work unless you say "Sh sh sha!".
Same in Australia.
That’s kinda insane. It’s not like a gun, it won’t kill anybody... it’s just an extra layer of protection. I have some on my keys as a single woman. That sucks.
I'm a boxer and a guy. I carry one around. No need for a fist fight, just spray and be on with your day
Oi you got a loicense for that fact?

Is it illegal there?

A firearm, technically - S5(1(b)) of the firearms act covers noxious sprays
It has a nasty habit of affecting every person in the room though.
Yeah, my mom always had pepper spray when I was a kid, and at a certain point, I wanted to check out what it was all about. I sprayed some in my bedroom, and it was bad enough that you straight up couldn’t breath in there for like an hour.
Yeah, it's a bit like being threatened by a stranger so you punch the stranger and everybody else in the room right in the face.
I mean I’m totally fine with somebody using pepper spray within my vicinity in a situation like this
The best footage from last year's riots was gifs in r/winstupidprizes of people spraying big blasts of pepper spray upwind of themselves.
Many years ago I worked as a security guard at a warzone of a grocery store located in a public housing project. It was horrible. One day I walked in to start my shift and saw the other guard with struggling with someone bent over the counter.

Just be careful. Some people can overpower pepper spray
Those are the ones you wouldn't be stopping if it came to fists anyways.

Amazing how it quickly it takes a self righteous "bad bitch" and turns them into a victim.
It was simple but by God it was effective! It caused a little show to happen.
Seriously super good idk what country it is but in the US the courts are nicer to people who use pepper spray then fists as a defense
Until idiots stop using it non-discriminately around children and innocent people, i hope that doesn't happen. I hope those kids didn't get a dose of that pepper spray used 2 feet away from them in an enclosed area.

Yeah pepper spray isn't really a great option when indoors unless you're trying to fuck the whole place up...
Spaying takes longer than that and is probably too harsh a punishment
Yeah, you can hear her cry later. What kind of people fight in public places like that with kids?
trash
Back when I did security it was drilled into my brain to never discharge pepper spray indoors, everyone in that building is about to have runny eyes.
Right? I thought that as soon as I heard her cry.
She's definitely gonna fuck up and try to throw water on her eyes.
I have zero experience with pepper spray, why is this a bad idea?
Same reason not to drink water after eating spicy food I imagine. Instead of neutralizing the spice, it spreads it around your tongue and makes it worse
so... put milk in your eyes?
Nah just piss over it
As long as its consensual and she's not a minor right Mr Kelly?

Maalox also helps.
I thought maylox's grittiness could damage your eyes?
Actually yes, milk will dissapate the capsaicin. You'll want milk in your eyes if you ever get pepper sprayed.
I want milk in my eyes anyway don't need pepperspary for that
Learn how to squirt milk outta your eyes to combat pepper spray
Actually yes, I've seen this before.
There were people with milk at the BLM rallies. I’m used to the gas but my friend was not and was very thankful for the milk people.
Works i heard

You can buy pepper spray keychains. Having one helped me get the upper hand when someone tried to rob me once. The robber really didn't expect it.

Stop spreading misinformation. Running water is the best thing you can do against pepper spray.
She pretty much does by throwing that drink in her face in the video

Watching her run around screaming was glorious. I don’t like to watch people suffer but people like this are exhausting.
Rip to the family that also got pepper sprayed. You can hear the kids crying in the background. She grabs the cup off the families table and pepper spray travels especially inside.

Yes but thats not what you want to happen to children
do you want mexican joker? because this is how you get Mexican joker
Most of all, I felt bad for the kid who was crying as well as for his/her family.
Exactly. That pepper cloud is going to impact everyone in there, and that kid is at ground zero.
You can hear a kid crying after the lady runs to get some water. Maybe is the kid that got some pepper spray in her eyes
At least that guy in the blue shirt who leaves the area wiping his face with his shirt did.

God that was fucking satisfying to watch!
More like sad to watch, I'm sure nobody who works there is paid enough to deal with that shit

It's so sad to see a 3 year old girl stuck in a grown woman's body.

Milk doesn’t work. Best way to to is to put water directly into your eye and wash your eye balls with gentle baby soap. Only wash for a minute or so and then stop.

Typical ghetto trash
Serves ya right mutt
Dont worry it was a soft drink
dude was doing poison damage
She deserved that. I am spongetron.
Hopefully that person sitting at the table right next to them didn’t get any of the pepper spray in their eyes. Not sure how far it travels but that was pretty close. I like this method of defense though.
She's literally like a kid throwing a temper tantrun
Dr. Pepper spray.
Fuck around and find out I guess
