O'Reilly: Pepper Spray Is a Food Product

[Schneibster]

Billo Lielly (aka Billo the Clown, aka Bill O'Reilly of Faux Entertainment) allowed the claim on his show on national TV that the pepper spray used at UC Davis, for which two police and a chief of police got suspended, is a "food product."

These people just lie. They'll say anything at all, no matter how big a lie it is and no matter how badly they're going to look for lying when everyone knows.

“Pepper spray, that just burns your eyes, right?” O’Reilly asked Kelly.

“Right,” Kelly said. “I mean, its like a derivative of actual pepper. It’s a food product, essentially.”

Watch the video for yourself here.

The pepper spray is 1,000 times hotter than a habanero pepper. And food goes in your mouth; can you imagine putting habanero juice in your eye? How about something hotter? I have seen people required to sign a release before being allowed to eat a habanero burger. And I have seen a grown man cry because he got a habanero seed up the back of his nose laughing while eating one. And he was a bold dude. Seriously.

I've had a visually undetectable amount of pepper spray accidentally get on a fingertip and a while later that finger touch my eye. I can say for sure, it's fucking painful and had my eye swollen up even in that amount

Maybe he will volunteer to get a faceful on live TV if it is so benign. I'm sure it would be great for ratings

[Schneibster]

I'd pay to watch him whine about it.

This sounds like a great way for him to prove his point

Next - police to be issued with salt spray and vinegar cannon.

Hey, over here we give 'em guns. The guy was carryin' one and didn't use it.

But nobody did anything until this guy assaulted people with pepper spray. And over here we call that assault. That cop will be lucky to get away without being charged with it. He might not.

Like I've said several times, these people are a liability problem. The first Occupy-related lawsuit has been filed, though I consider it chickenshit so I haven't said anything here yet. I predict a shitload.

I'd forgotten about it until just now, but it used to be a custom in Indonesia that a cheating spouse was put to death by "peppering." They would take ground pepper, put it in a sack, tie the sack over the offender's head, and allow the offended spouse's family to beat the sack with sticks.

I like pepper but

This is nothing new people.

Jean Chrétien - "For me, pepper, I put it on my plate." - about pepper spray against APEC protestors

[Schneibster]

This is nothing new people.

The Southern Poverty Law Center made it something new. Something new called "lawsuits."

I advocate Citizens' Oversight. We will organize it ourselves. And the cops will abide by its dictates about what information about us they get. BEFORE the trial, during the investigation. But that's a long way out yet.

You got that from Patrick O'Brien, didn't you!

[Schneibster]

Yeah, I went and checked it out when I first read it.

Good.
Mind you, I just trusted he would have done the research...

Anyway, that English traitor and French arsehole deserved it...

(sorry, Svarty...)

[Schneibster]

I went and checked out the whole thing about guys running amok too, and it turns out he exaggerated that some. But not in terms of what amok means; just how often they ran amok.

[Pappa]

I'd quite like to get sprayed with pepper spray just to find out what it's like.
