Woman uses pepper spray,still gets beaten.


Recommended Posts

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - video of a fight on a Rapid bus that includes one of the people involved to use pepper spray on the other. The fight starts at the back of the Rapid bus when a man gets up and appears to spit on a woman he was sitting next to. The woman immediately jumps up and sprays him with pepper spray. As the man walks away, the two keep yelling at each other. As the man charges back at the woman, she sprays him again. Some of that spray hits a child in the face. You can see him rubbing his eyes as the fight continues in the back of the bus.

Wow, posting news to backup your notion about pepper spray not being a great self-defence weapon?

Because it isn't. Now a taser would have worked very well. Pepper spray is like CS gas, after a while it just doesn't phase you, we used to have fun in the gas chamber with the newer guys that weren't used to it yet

Well you and others think that people should use pepper spray ect, sometimes it doesn't work. In this case lethal force would not have been a wise choice as the woman pretty much instigated the confrontation by running her mouth but the point still stands that non lethal force isn't always the best option to protect yourself.

Sometimes taser's don't even work.

pepperspray isn't supposed to stop violence it is an attempt to reduce it, you can still punch with it in your eyes. Infact you will be rather angry if someone just sprayed you in the eyes. It is better than nothing though, those rape whistles and horns won't help if you are in the middle of no-where.

Look forward to you posting news on when tasers fail then.

Oh you can search for police video's of police officers tasering a suspect and it not having any effect on them.

Oh I know. I just thought it was going to be a new trend of starting news stories to backup your arguments. I just fail to see how this thread belongs in Real World News.

Well the man walked away from her. So it did work imo. The video looks edited. It cut right before the man charge her. How much time is cut ? Of course pepper spray wont put someone out of fight for 6 hours ... using it in a place you can't escape full of innocent people is not really bright.

BTW is the woman dead ?

Now if she had had a gun, should could have just blown his face off along with the kids.

Much better answer all around..

I'm not a gun nut, but in all honestly a bullet is not likely to ricochet into the kid, it is more likely to penetrate into the attacker and potentially out the other side (just make sure nobody is behind him) depending on the type of bullet used (I know that there ones that explode inside the target).

Oh what like you do?

Hollow points. I keep them in my .40.

Yup, news stories. Not a video I happen to find on Liveleak.

Yep you dig for your stories to back up your views, most news stories are not nationally covered. But thanks for proving that you have an agenda. I guess i'll dig for news stories in england and post stories of people getting stabbed and beaten.. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Lol, if that's what you think I do you're mistaken.

I mean there's plenty of stories I could post which would, as you put it back up my 'agenda', but I'm not going to because it's pretty silly and monotonous and I think people would grow pretty tired of it quickly, so I don't.

If you're going to post such things it would have been better to at least link it to a news story rather than just a video.

This thread will just degenerate into another gun debate.

This video has been cut to the extend of where it doesn't show on what the woman did to provoke the guy to charge her. You can see the cut as he is walking away after the initial pepper spraying ready to get of the bus, whilst the woman gets up in what appears to entail some provocative move.

Correct, and some people can walk right through it from the first second. Also troublesome if someone's wearing glasses. Tasers are a bit better, but useless on someone with thick, or multiple layers of, clothing. This time of year when folks are wearing heavy winter coats or parkas....

Her best solution was once he started to walk away to STFU.

I think I speak for the majority of people in England when I say I'm quite happy that we have the gun laws we do, thanks very much. I have no desire to own a firearm and am quite happy that it means the majority of people aren't able to lay their hands on firearms either.

Americans on here don't seem to like it when people outside the US presume to speak on the way in which your country works - I'd suggest those outside of the UK shouldn't attempt to make guesses on how it works here!

Dude I'm with you on some things but this one is covered in wood chips from the barrel you scraped it from.

Yet it's always the people you don't want having them that end up with them i.e the drug dealers, the chav lords, and the alround lowest of the low the sort that the Government dosn't even know exists.

    • For a guy who claims to hate Farage and the ignorant, gullible, rightwing racist skinheads sponsored by Putin that his lies represent, you sure are quoting them time and time and time again, mate. I guess you're conveniently ignoring the fact that your country and commonwealth just happened to work much better when it was still part of the E.U.? Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.
    • Do you live in the U.K? Do any of the people here that are against the UK leaving the E.U, live in the U.K? If not then why are you bothered? If you do live here then it is a different thing . Brexit was a good idea, should have done it years before, it was done badly, but the idea was good. You are saying the same thing as remainers do, oh we did what Putin wanted, we listened to the lies and Farage. I hate Farage and never believed most of what he said, certainly did not believe the £350m a week for the NHS. But we did pay a lot of money to the E.U and yes some of it came back, but what is the point of paying it out for only some of it to come back? Get out of the E.U, no money to them and in theory we can use the money to do things in the country. I said in theory, but our governments are a total and complete waste of space. No matter what colour rosette they wear. You and others say it was a mistake and yet the two main parties in the U.K are not looking at rejoining the EU, I wonder why that is? I was not tricked by anyone. Makes no odds now, we are out and have been for 10 years, what we need is a decent government to run the country. All they do is shout at each other like a load of kids and seems to do nothing and make this country more into a police and nanny state. Getting more like China all the time.

    • Yeah... The root of my comment, ostensibly, is how to spin the story via the actual technical merits of the solution! * Decentralized (aka federated) solution with built-in encrypted ephemeral message transport, * Transport via Relays (intermediary servers) with no message archival, * Second configurable pathway are actual email servers (if DNS records are programmed accordingly) via IMAP protocols carriage, * "Chat-over-Email" is the design pattern adopted; it can either leverage full-blown Email Server (must use the INBOX folder) to exchange all received messages/edits/reactions (so be weary of notifications overloads) [best practice is creating a separate email acct used explicitly for federated chat purposes!] or leverage its built-in Relay Server mechanism which actually resides on-device (by default but can be configured otherwise), * By virtue of be a decentralized/federated model, all other intermediary servers who may pass-along messages (while the recipient's final relay/device is inaccessible) cannot snoop on the messages due to the encrypted nature of contents. The intermediaries may, however, analyze the metadata due to the simple fact that routing mechanisms require hints for relay destinations. Unfortunately, whomever is posting about DeltaChat across socials are misleading with "zero metadata" claims -- especially when the Relays (according to their own technical documents) mandate the addition of chat-version metadata and other decorations in order to actually transport any message. -- Based on this summary, I'd prefer if they'd better dual-path message transport (email server add-in, federated relay engine) rather than patch-on email protocols to existing federated social media frameworks. They're frankensteining something rather than extending widely-deployed technology stacks.
