Bear spray is dangerous and harsh and can blind humans. Good for her.

Wasp and hornet spray is rumored to be a cheaper alternative to bear spray, and it doesn’t arouse suspicion like bear spray does.

Buckshot would have been more effective but would have gotten her arrested in San Francisco.

Since it’s CA and esp. SF., she’ll be charged with using a product for which it wasn’t intended. Now if she were protecting herself from a bear, well then ....

Didn’t see it yet.... but it the Food Stamp President had a son .....

I was out hiking when I found myself between a grizzly sow and her cubs. She immediately charged me. I reached into my pack for my can of wasp spray when I remembered I had used it at home and forgot to put it back. I had one of those OFF mosquito fan things, so I turned it on and pointed it at her. She pulled up right in front of me and grabbed the machine.
“My, my,” she said. “What will they think of next?”
Then she ate me.

So here's my cartoon treatment of this story.

• The lovely oriental woman sees the perp stealing a package.
• She takes the bear spray and sprays out a large cloud, off to her left.
• The cloud dissolves into a very large bear, who lets out a mighty roar.
• She takes her bokken and points towards the perp, inviting the bear to, well, be a bear.
• The bear moves forward and eats the perp.
• Happy ending.

A bokken is no toy training tool. Miyamoto Musashi the legendary samurai. converted to using a bokken early in his career. He ended up closing the books on around 60 opponents using mostly a wooden sword. Good for her. Wish she had gotten in some good hits before the cops showed up.

This is San Fransicko, so this gal is likely in for some serious trouble, the progressive trash and media will demonize her and her bait method would only be allowed for gathering video evidence.

Eventually she will have to defend against assault and battery charges and possibly attempted maiming. Just give 'em a little time.

A jury may save her but not from the costs. Finally she will have to face the perp's civil suit.

Wasp and Hornet Spray is Cheaper and probably works better
