It’s an unusual forum for talking about what happened at UC Davis last Friday, but the Amazon product page for “Defense Technology 56895 MK-9 Stream, 1.3% Red Band/1.3% Blue Band Pepper Spray” has attracted some amazingly clever and biting reviews. As the incident—UC Davis police pepper spraying seated non-violent protesters—has become a meme and written off by Fox News as the use of “a Food Product, essentially,” these reviews have appeared on Amazon:

1 star:  Product Warnng: This procuct multiplies protesters

I casually used this product to try to disperse a small band of non-violent campers who had locked their arms together. Although initially it seemed to be effective, it took two applications! The worst part is that the next day they multiplied exponentially! Now what?

One positive outcome, I did receive a paid vacation for my efforts.
