It would be nice if the PA clip were recorded with the mic in the same room as the speaker
The use of ‘weapons’ – lethal or non-lethal – and what happens to you if you use them to protect yourself seem to be a gray area depending on who runs the law where it happens. Just ask Christopher Cantwell, who is rotting in jail because he used pepper spray on attacking commies in Charlottesville, VA. The crooked law there is holding him as they would a murderer, refusing him bail because he is a “flight risk” even though he turned himself in. He is a political prisoner, plain and simple.
