Something Different "Wasp Spray"

Kinda feel sorry for him now, but I was defending myself on my aunt's property, and had not bothered him.

That lesson is leaving people alone may have saved his life or kept him out of prison.....or kept him from being a wife beater.  You never know.

"The kindly Leo's of my city recommended it, and I trust their judgment." 1st defense, 2nd, I feared for my life, every defense.

As a history lesson, when I was about 7 yrs old, the next door bully and me tangled, he was older but still very young, maybe 8 or 9, outweighed me by 25 pounds, long story short, we tussled and he wound up sitting on my chest and punching me, no big deal as my POS paternal father regularly hit me with his fists, I was really hard to hurt, UNTIL,  he hit me with a bicycle air pump in my teeth, that P*ssed me off, laying on my back in the entrance to the garage at my aunt's house I reached for what was there, a can of Raid, now that was 44 yrs ago, there was only 1 Raid, and I sprayed him in the face, at that time it was probably chlordane in the can, it achieved an immediate response, he could not breathe and looked extremely worried, he got off of me and ran next door to his house, followed by a trip to the emergency room, while he was gone, I started making weapons, out of rolled up newspaper and spent safety razor blades, fearing his retaliation, funny thing, he never even came close to bothering me again. 1 of the qualifiers of many that put me on the path of don't be a victim. I don't know if he learned his lesson, or his parents used it as a teachable moment.

I think the point that might be missed by some is, you used what was available! You didn't place the can their with the intention of using it against another person. If someone today takes a can a wasp spray and carries it around the house with them or stations several cans around the house in strategic places for defense, well I just think their going to have a hard time defending that in court. Be it in criminal or civil court. I think you would have a better chance of using good pepper spray or a firearm!

And I think I would ask those kindly LEO's if they're also willing to take the stand in your defense if you ever do end up in court for using wasp spray! Your word that they recommended it probably won't pass muster.

What I would say as a LEO. It was self defense, and be happy they did not spray you in the face with a 12 gauge. Now go to prison you dirt bag for breaking into someone elses castle.

That's the response I would hope for! But I can't afford his Mama's lawyer suing me for blinding her perfect little baby boy, and now she's going to have to take care of him when he gets out of prison, as she cry's Poor Poor Pitiful Me!

Sue his little mama first. She raised a dirt bag that tramatized your family, screw her.

More of them do.  You just don't see them in the press making headlines because if they do then they are public haters.  When in actuality it is the position that should be supported.

I think the problem is actually more with the bosses that play the political game with their elected masters rather than use common since and sound professional knowledge!

Yeah.. That too. I miss my job at the LE center that I use to work for every day.  I am so much better now that I'm at a place where the drama is kept to a minimum.  It is bad enough to deal with the drama of the public just to turn around and have to deal with the drama of the office.

what the LEO thinks means nothing.  its what the DA, judges and jury think.
