But it\u2019s powerful and won\u2019t accidentally kill a kid,\u201d he continued. \u201cTrust me, this will stop anybody in their tracks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Democrat then proceeded to close his eyes and began spraying the pepper spray in his face. He\u2019s later seen trying to wash off his face by dunking his head into water and spraying himself with a hose. \u201cIt\u2019s incredibly painful, now I can\u2019t see anything,\u201d he said. \u201cWow, that\u2019s intense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tillemann, a former Department of Energy official during the presidency of Barack Obama, made gun control the key issue of his campaign, doubling-down on his website that pepper spray should be \u201cbe made widely available as quickly as possible\u201d for teachers and school officials to combat potential school shooters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe time has come to move beyond apologies and half measures and fight for real solutions to gun violence in our community. Help us win this fight,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Maybe he should shoot himself in the head with a scary black rifle so we can make a comparison in the effects. According to the article, it appears that his antics won&#8217;t secure his place in the election &#8211; his party is backing another candidate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mick and Kevin sends us a link to Fox News which reports that Levi Tillemann, a &hellip; <a title=\"Levi Tillemann pepper-sprays himself for gun control\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=79977\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Levi Tillemann pepper-sprays himself for gun control<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":79978,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-79977","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79977","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=79977"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79977\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/79978"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=79977"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=79977"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=79977"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
