27.10.14 Pepper Spray Appropriateness?

Arunas Kastentinavicius has managed to amuse me with his exploits, albeit they ended up causing him to pay compensation of £600, having a 6-month suspended and accept 100 hours community service.  This was simply over-the-cuntin-top for so-called justice.

It seems that neighbours playing loud music was driving him nuts, and he called to ask for it to be turned down.  He sprayed the culprits with spray that caused some burning and choking sensations, and claimed in defence that it was 'normal behaviour in his home country'.  After the initial request for the two women and a bloke to turn down the music, he returned an hour later and the women were laughing at him.  As a result, he sprayed them with pepper spray that contained an 11% level of harmful ingredient, rather more than the 5% stuff out police use.

My view is that it's about time people who act without any consideration for others are made to think their attitudes might need adjustment.  It is surely harsh for this chap to be hit with a triple whammy - a fine, plus community service plus a suspended sentence.


Clearly Lithuanian values are rather more solid than the pathetic shit that prevails in the UK.  Even if it is not 'normal behaviour' in Lithuania, the notion that is might be is rather nice.
