So let me get this straight, as an "innocent bystander" (I would interpret that to mean that you happened to be there and witnessed the incident), you watch this lady get her car bombarded with snowballs, you watched her get out and start chasing the kids involved and when she came back to her car, panting and cursing under her breath, you decide you are going to open your pie-hole and kindly ask her to move her car? Here's a clue: She was walking back to her car, what did you think she was going to do? Camp out in the middle of the street blocking all traffic until the kids showed back up again?
And if the kid had to get to work, what was he doing standing around watching a bunch of kids attacking a woman with snowballs in the first place?
Hey, I was a kid once, too. I know better. The kid that got sprayed was a wise-ass who got what was coming to him. It's too bad his parent's didn't teach him when to keep his mouth shut.
you watch this lady get her car bombarded with snowballs, you watched her get out and start chasing the kids involved and when she came back to her car, panting and cursing under her breath, you decide you are going to open your pie-hole and kindly ask her to move her car? And if you should, should you be peppersprayed? This was not an act of self-defense. Being angry is not an excuse to commit assault.
This lady is very much in the wrong and she's going to go through a lot of aggravation over the next several months and she deserves to.
