http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/...ily_says_they_were.html#incart_river_home_pop I'm willing to bet this is one of those "share the road" assholes that got enraged when they cut him off or something to that affect, so he pulled out his trusty "self defense bear spray" and attacked them. I really hope they catch this guy. I don't know what kind of asshole would use that stuff on women and children.
Bear spray is not stronger than pepper spray that is a myth. Bear spray has a much lower concentration of oleoresin capsicum than pepper spray. Reason, a bears sense of smell is over 2000 times greater than humans. Fewer irritants are needed to get results on a bear compared to a human. Therefore bear spray causes less damage when used on humans compared to pepper spray. There is another difference between bear and pepper spray. Bear spray usually has more propellant, enabling it to travel further. This usually involves a larger can, which, misleads people to believe bear spray is stronger and will cause more damage than pepper spray.
Sounds like a hunter, if he has bear spray. Which part of the article says he was a hipster? The part in your head?
My powers of deduction. "wearing black spandex-style bicycle clothing and a grey and black helmet. The suspect was riding a road-style bicycle (not a mountain bike), with a white box on the back of the bicycle." Black spandex + road bike + NoPo = white yuppie hipster Why does he sound like a hunter? Hunters carry guns, not bear spray. If the story was about a guy wearing Mossy Oak riding a quad in Oregon City, and waving around an AR-15, I would agree that he's most likely a hunter.
In Bellingham, we have husky guys who look like military veterans riding around in black stretch outfits with fashionable pointed helmets and hairy chests. Nobody uses the term hipster here.
I grew up in a Mexican part of California. Where I'm from, police classify the shooting as road rage if the victim yelled "Share the road," and as bike theft if he didn't. Then they search for someone staying warm in an abandoned building by burning a black rubber outfit the way an eskimo burns whale blubber.
Who the fuck would ever pepper spray a child!?! Don't like seeing this kind of assholery in the back yard...
