but I find this very funny.
Chaos erupted at a Walmart in Colorado on Sunday after a suspected shoplifter deployed bear spray at workers, authorities said. Emergency response dispatchers began receiving multiple calls reporting that bear spray had been deployed at a Walmart in Greeley, Colorado, at around 1:30 p.m. local time on Sunday, according to the Greeley Police Department. Greeley is about an hour north of Denver.
Due to the chaos as customers fled from the spray, some callers reported there was possibly an active shooter situation, Greeley police said. When police arrived at the retailer, however, they determined there was no guns or active shooter involved.
Police said store associates attempted to stop a 29-year-old man for allegedly shoplifting when a struggle ensued and the man deployed bear spray at three employees. When a fourth employee attempted to intervene, he was "struck in the head by the bear spray, causing the can to rupture and contaminate the store," the Greeley Police Department said in a news release.

he should have " fallen down multiple times " before being taken to the hospital / jail
sadly now wally world will be on the hook for all the damage and of course medical bills from the customers
sounds like dano may have had a similar accident 😁
Hey bear spray is no laughing matter. I had three brown bears hanging around my back deck a couple years back and tried everything to get them to leave, even shooting the ground between their feet with a 9mm and they just ignored me. Throwing rocks and 2x4s at them, they just ignored me. Finally I went out there with the bear spray and gave them the business. It makes kind of a roaring sound, a little like a big ole mean boar, and they all 3 turned and ran up across the hill toward the trees. I thought HOORAY!! and went racing off after them to spray some more, and ran right through the cloud of bear spray.
Instantly I couldn't breath, couldn't see, and I was totally disoriented hacking up a lung biscuit. I was clawing at my eyes, coughing, thinking "Great, now I'm blind out here and they're pee'd off."
After a lot of tears and rubbing I heard tapping on the glass and looked up at the house and there's Ms. Nanuq waving her hands at me like "Don't do that! Don't do that! There's bears out there!" 🙄
I made it back into the house and the bears didn't come back. Good Lord that stuff is irritating (the spray).
Don't hold your breath, and then do a big inhale. Slowly breath it in.
Soon, you'll have snot hanging out of your snot locker, to the ground, laughing at the idiots that held their breath.
I can still feel, and smell the gas chamber.
OOH RAH!
After 58 years diver-rig, I still remember my gas chamber experience at Ft. Knox. I remember the Sgt. with us had to toss on guy out because he panicked. That probably happens a lot.
How to turn a simple shoplifting charge (that few prosecutors will prosecute anymore) into strong armed robbery and assault.
I feel sorry for the employee that was hit with the can hard enough to split the can open! That would sure leave a knot on his or her head!
The store associate who was struck in the head was 70 years old.
He will be charged with third-degree assault on an at-risk elder, aggravated robbery, third-degree assault and theft.

I ran the "Gas Mask Confidence Course" at Ft. Knox for my Reserve unit one summer. Remember -- trainees hit the course early on in Basic and have learned that his sergeants speak with the voice of God and that those same sergeants say Sir to officers and the only time they see an officer they are usually in trouble.
Standing at back door in my butter-bar hat, mask and hood and had trainee come flying out the back door and run smack into me. Fortunately he was about half my size and it stopped him dead in his tracks, then he looked up and realized that not only had he ran into an OFFICER but he had run into the OFFICER that had told him NOT TO RUN.
His eyes got huge and it was all I could do to nor start laughing and I raised my arm and pointed in the direction he was to go.
Last I saw of him he was going around the corner of the building, flapping arms to air out hat and mask, doing an excellent humming bird imitation.
