What you say may be true and I understand your points, but I still feel moving a kids arm so they can blast them directly in the eyes with spray is out of line. Nothing is going to change my mind.

I have to laugh at the above post a bit.

"I've made up my mind because I feel that way no matter what".

At the risk of throwing more shit, I pray that you don't vote using these methods of decision making.

Of course I do. I'm an hysterical female who goes through life all ramped up on illogic and emotion.

You may as well join the OWS'ers then.

So what? Only a total idiot acts on reasoning like this. Tomorrow your kid might mouth back, better spank him today. Tomorrow Iran might have an a-bomb, better nuke them first now. A police response based on this deserves scorn, ridicule, and discipline. And a change of administrations.

It's called nipping it in the bud, I'm sure you have heard of it, and probably used the same philosophy it in your own life from time to time.

Based on what you said, it's called an over reaction based upon nebulous 'gosh, maybe they might be worse sometime, lets hit em hard now while there are only a few'.

I want to use bear spray on someone.

Sorry I should have mentioned it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

Im satisfied with my opinion.

A sentiment that 98% of the internet agrees with.
