It hurts about 18 times worse than getting covered in the crap in the first place.

Your skin burns so much you can't take it. Your eyes swell up. You have trouble breathing.

I'd take the inital assault to the cleanup any day.

No. Two blocks from where i'm sitting now.

But the most important tear gas/pepper spray tip is - drumroll, please - WASH YOUR HANDS BEFORE GOING TO THE BATHROOM.

One cheese grater, coming up.

Black Cross has done studies with various chemicals to see what neutralizes them the best. When some friends of mine were doing their own experiments, they doused themselves in mace. And waited. And waited. Compared to what you get on the streets, it was negligible. Turns out the cops' spray is many, many times stronger than anything you can buy.

this is also very good advice if you've been cooking with chile peppers. Especially, say, habaneros.

LEIU protest. I was there, therefore I got covered. I can't tell you exactly what i was doing each time...
Holding the street, doing mobile eyewash for the folks who got it bad..

I spent some time trying to get some notoriously bad cops off the front lines before it all started.

Legal documentation. Dancing in the streets. Y'know. All in a day's work.

NTS... hell hath no fury lie a woman scorned.


Aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

LONDON (Reuters) - A British woman was sentenced to two and a half years in jail Thursday for ripping off her ex-lover's testicle with her bare hands during a drunken brawl after he refused her sex.

Amanda Monti, 24, flew into a rage in May last year after Geoffrey Jones, 37, who had ended their long-term relationship, rejected her advances.

She grabbed him by the genitals, tearing off his left testicle, then hid it in her mouth before a friend of Jones handed it back to him saying "that's yours."

Monti, of Birkenhead, near Liverpool, pleaded guilty to unlawful wounding at an earlier hearing.

man, that has got to hurt.

WTF!?!?

if they were no longer a couple, why the fuck were his testicles exposed? And, why the fuck was he with her if he ended the relationship?

I gotta say, this guy sounds like an idiot/asshole who has been playing dangerous games.

Kinda on the same lines as a woman intentionally blueballing a man.

same fucked up game.

losing a testicle is a bit harsh though. but then, rape is harsh too.

It's soooo not fair to say that he deserved that. Lord gawd almighty. You usually don't know that someone's prone to ball ripping until they do it.

Damn, she musta' pulled hard. Fuuuuck.

Those Brits harbour a lot of secrets.
It could have something to do with the early closing hours of pubs and the frustration that engenders.
