Pepper Spray: A New American Low

Posted: 29 Nov 2011 06:17 AM PST

First of all, is it legal to buy and use pepper spray? Apparently so. I Googled the term and came up instantly with online places to purchase the stuff. One company even offers disguised pepper spray. It comes in a tube that looks like a lipstick. Now, I am not trying to dissuade a woman from fending off an attacker. For me, almost anything is game if a woman is in danger of sexual assault.

But using pepper spray on college students, shoppers at Walmart, and who knows what else? No! I realize that multitudes of people in the U.S. are unemployed, can’t pay their medical bills, or even keep the lights on. Help is desperately needed. But can’t we maintain a modicum of humanity?
