Portland Mayor Pepper Sprays Unmasked Man
January 26, 2021 at 11:01 am EST By Taegan Goddard

Portland mayor Ted Wheeler (D) told the Oregonian that he was forced to shoot pepper spray directly into the eyes of a member of the public on Sunday night when he was approached by a man who wasn’t wearing a mask.

Said Wheeler: “I clearly informed him that he needed to back off. He did not do so I informed him that I was carrying pepper spray and that I would use it if he did not back off. He remained at close distance, I pulled out my pepper spray and I sprayed him in the eyes.”

5. I have had that same urge

Don't have pepper spray but it has occurred to me. These assholes are basically assaulting someone. Don't blame him one bit.

will be the ones who get their knickers in a twist.
