Yeah, it's food alright:

The US Army concluded in a 1993 Aberdeen Proving Ground study that pepper spray could cause "[m]utagenic effects, carcinogenic effects, sensitization, cardiovascular and pulmonary toxicity, neurotoxicity, as well as possible human fatalities. There is a risk in using this product on a large and varied population".[SUP][10][/SUP] However, the pepper spray was widely approved in the US despite the reservations of the US military scientists after it passed FBI tests in 1991. As of 1999, it was in use by more than 2000 public safety agencies.[SUP][11][/SUP]

Direct close-range spray can cause more serious eye irritation by attacking the cornea with a concentrated stream of liquid (the so-called "hydraulic needle" effect). Some brands have addressed this problem by means of an elliptically cone shaped spray pattern.

never said it was pleasant

wonder if OSHA will get involved as they did not have any MSDS sheets ready to be handed out. Sure the protesters were not employees but that never stopped the govt from over reaching :D

Hang on a second Allen......OSHA is overreaching government, but pepper spraying non-violent seated students isn't? Did I understand your position accurately?

But the MSDS idea is a good one.....I just emailed it to the ACLU :D

Internet tough boy all else failed - who giggles at students getting pepper sprayed - stated "the cops are allowed" to use pepper spray in circumstances like these. Megan Kelly and Bill O'Reilly say the same fucking thing!!

yeah see let me hold your hand through this logic because you're essentially a 6 year old when it comes to this:


Many different people can hold the same opinion and not subscribe to the same ideology. PRESTO! That is what is taking place. Your terrible logic and persistence in trying to label me as some sort of FOX news fan is just getting more sad by each post. You're 100% delusional and your line of thinking is revealing this.


Also, give up on the tough guy accusations. You're the one strong arming around in this thread wishing violence on people. Man up and admit it.

I was going to ask how you would recommend they resist, if their form of resisting is "like a pussy", but I see you've already answered that:So since you admit yourself even weaker than a pussy, your opinion in this situation isn't really worth much.

This is an incredibly dangerous attitude to hold. It translates into cops can do anything they want, just take it up in court after the fact.

You fall into that school of thought that says "If you don't have anything to hide, you shouldn't mind them coming in to search your home."

My position is clear..dont resist.
However they were pussies plain and simple.
If they felt they were violated by having to move then why sit there like a puss after getting sprayed?
Not that I am suggesting they should have fought the police...but if they said you arent taking our tents..and actually attempted to do something about it then they wouldnt be pussies.
What they did is the same as some punk at a bar...screaming hit me hit me hit...then when he gets hits..he cries rather than swing back..he is a puss

I dont hold the position that the cops can do anything they want..they were doing their job of tent removal and clearing a path.

Also I do not hold the position that if you have nothing to hide then I wouldnt mind them searching my home.

Dont try to construct my character with fallacious arguments .

Amazing the amount of Americans in this thread who would rather their country be more like China and want to live in a police state. God bless the land of free speech and all that.
Thats just it we dont want to lose what we have.....orderly protests have been going on for decades ...voices have changed things.

However the OWS is very disorderly and rebellious ...they are shooting themselves in the foot..and will only make future protests more difficult to hold.
They need to focus a complaint...point fingers and ask for results in an orderly fashion.

Who are you trying to convince you're not a FOX bot? Yourself? :24:

You need to man up giggle boy. The type of asshole that "laughs their ass off" at other human beings misery is a little punk.

Your punk card has been pulled giggles. But keep on coming back for the last word and dig yourself deeper.

Found the link you posted to another member

According to your link
That took 5 minutes to load it says and stops..with no way to see the rest of the article

I already told you that the link was messed up...my bad...it is a link that you can only visit once (free pass), then it wants you to subscribe...bottom line is that you aren't gonna google the link to get the one shot to read free pass, as you aren't interested. If you would have listened to me about the mistake in my choice of link, you wouldn't have sat there for 5 minutes...but no, you have to be a selective reader of my posts and then you have the nerve to get on my case about it. :crazy:

Not that it matters to you or should, but I appreciate that you have concerns.

Megan Kelly says "Pepper spray is essentially a food product".

I wonder if it would work as an insecticide. I know homemade distilled hot pepper juice in spray bottles will knock marauding grasshoppers (maybe they were locusts), clean off sprayed plants after their first bite.

In what way do you have me cornered? You haven't argued anything worth while besides offer up some incredibly flawed reasoning.

Hey look, more nonconstructive slop. You have zero evidence that I am anything you say I am, yet you keep going in order to not backpedal on something you should totally just drop since it has no factual substance whatsoever.

So I suppose you showing great passion and joy to use chemical agents on me and others you've threatened is...any....better? Same old same old from you, to be honest. You talk down certain behaviors and then turn around and wish them on someone which you want to carry out personally. You're pretty bizarre and you should probably just log out.

Show me where it states in the constitution that there is a time limit on peaceable protest.
Show me the part where it says that you can enact laws that stifle free speech or the right to assemble.

Interesting read about freedom of speech and assembly

http://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/First_amendment

It's funny that our freedom of speech/assembly went from having no time limit, to only being permitted in the day time to just 3 hours now.

Protest longer than 3 hours and you will be arrested...

[video=youtube_share;-bDQ3QnWkpU]http://youtu.be/-bDQ3QnWkpU[/video]

Slippery slope indeed.

Glad to see that they at least tried to take on a govt building..and had enough smarts to vacate as directed.

So what we have now..is a non rowdy non trouble making bunch/ that were run off without conduct being an issue...This will gather the proper sympathy they need.as there is nothing to direct attention away from the fact they were denied protest due to poor conduct.{as there was none}

They need to peacefully get the permit now...and make it publicly known if they are denied such...This will force a statement by a govt official.

The response may be lame..they then need again to make it publicly known...The govt will not respond again
They win the sympathy battle....Its a large step in the right direction..For if they are not allowing a legal protest..shows bad character on their part{govt.}..this places the govt on the "fault" list

Its basic politics..cause and policy mean nothing..its all about the nurturing instinct.....Its what elected that guy we have now for president.
