Yeah, those deaths would have also occurred if somebody had simply pulled a firealarm (or shouted the word fire) because if you read the article you would have noticed that the club was over double the legal occupancy and several exits had been barred / locked. Sorry but that is a pathetic attempt to justify nanny-state laws that prohibit a defensive tool that could be used to prevent rape (or worse). Sure, pepper spray / mace can be used offensively but so can just about anything I put my hands on. I can use a can of aerosol deodorant and a lighter to quickly and efficiently burn most buildings to the ground for example. |
Looks like you want to be an ass for no reason in a simple discussion. Sorry, but that's a pathetic attempt to justify anything. Oh, you can kill someone with a cat, so nothing should be illegal, ever, is such an immature way of thinking. You can die in a crash at 45mph so why even have speed limits? Obviously, as with anything, it's about risk versus reward. Also, if you had read my posts, you'd know that I never said it should be illegal, only why it was probably made illegal.
