Sporkmaster sends us an interview<\/a> with one of the pepper-sprayed students in the picture above and it’s pretty hillarious;<\/p>\n

“Move or we’re going to shoot you,” Pike is reported to have yelled at one student right before delivering pepper spray. Then, turning to his fellow officers and brandishing the can in the air, “Don’t worry, I’m going to spray these kids down.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That would have been a warning to me that I’m about to get sprayed, causing my feet to move and get me out of range. But, ya know, I’m fairly bright.<\/p>\n

W: I still have a burning sensation in my throat, lips and nose, especially when I start coughing, or when I’m lying in bed. Everyone who got sprayed has sustained effects like this.<\/p>\n

XJ: Can you tell us how it happened, from where you were sitting?<\/p>\n

W: I’d pulled my beanie hat over my eyes, to protect my eyes. I received a lot of pepper spray in my throat. I vomited twice, right away, then spent the next hour or two dry heaving. Someone said they saw him spray down my throat intentionally, but I was so freaked out, and I was blinded by my hat, so I can’t verify. I did get a large quantity of pepper spray in my lungs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

See, that’s where I have an advantage over this student, apparently…my body came equipped with lips that I can close, thus not allowing pepper spray into my lungs and throat. I know, it must sound like I’m bragging about my superior genetic development, but I’m just pointing out how I can avoid pepper-spray in my lungs, whereas this poor youngster can’t, I guess.<\/p>\n

He used military grade pepper spray on us.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, because military grade pepper spray uses a different pepper than the civil grade pepper spray. And it’s got tiny soldiers hidden in it who can pry your mouth open and jump in your throat.<\/p>\n

Another student, 20 years old, who was sprayed and then arrested\u2014instead of receiving medical care for the pepper spray exposure, he was made to wait in the back of a police car.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He was made to wait with all of the other innocent perpetrators, right? Of course, he wouldn’t have had to wait in the police car if he’d done what he was told in the first place, right?<\/p>\n

One of the reasons I am involved with #OWS, and advocating for an occupy movement on the UC campus, is to fight privatization and austerity in the UC system, and fight rising tuition costs. I think that citizens have the right to get an education regardless of economic condition. Most people are not going to get a job where they can afford to pay off student loans. But to exclude people from knowledge is unconscionable.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you don’t like people being excluded from getting an education, you should be protesting those public school teachers who spent your class time teaching you how to put condoms on bananas instead of teaching you Constitutional law.<\/p>\n

It’s too bad that I wasn’t in Sgt Pike’s position, because I would have done one of those 3 Stooges slap things right down the line of hippies.<\/p>\n

Yeah, I can laugh at the stupid hippies complaining about pepper spray because I’ve been tear gassed more times than I can count and I survived without so much as a whimper. So grow up, Junior. There’s a price for everything…and you made the first down payment on your idiotic behavior. To quote Red Foreman; your life is hard because you’re a dumbass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
