The Other 99 condemns hate speech and violent rhetoric directed at anyone in this video. We remain peaceful. We especially wish to thank all the brave NYPD officers who performed honorably this day. We refuse to allow the actions of a few to smear many.

The NYPD has fewer men and women on the streets than in 1992. Their budgets are slashed to 20 year lows. Overtime and pensions are under attack, deserved promotions are delayed because the dept cannot afford the salary increases. This is not justice and The Other 99 stands in solidarity with those who keep us safe, day and night. The NYPD is The Other 99, as well. We continue to peacefully occupy and fight for them…

While on a peaceful march near Union Square in downtown Manhattan, multiple female protestors were penned up in the street by orange mesh baricade, then maliciously maced.

The women were peaceful and unarmed. They were secured by barricade with an overwhelming police presence. And they were then sprayed directly in the face with pressurized mace…

WeAreTheOther99 continues to peacefully occupy Lower Manhattan to begin a dialogue with the Top 1% with the goal of a peaceful transition of power back to the People.

This can no longer be stopped. But be advised, this will not be televised…

I have a creep in my neighborhood pepper spraying young women and beating the crap out of them. Was wondering if it legal for me to carry a taser (the one that shoots those rods out) in my car or purse?? And what about pepper spray? Do I need a concealed weapons permit?

No, not in state law. An absence of a law on something of that nature would generally constitute legal standing. However, Taser requires a background check to activate the product. Essentially, when you buy a taser, it’s an expensive paperweight and then you have to call and activate it, and taser will perform the check themselves.
As for pepper spray, it’s always a good idea, and I am mulling over the idea of carrying it as a less lethal alternative to my firearm. I recommend either FOX or Red Saber, but get the ones that use tear gas, UV dye, and a high oleoresin capsicum (OC) percentage. The package will give the percentage and an SHU score, which is the Scoville Heat Unit rank, it shows how hot the product is. Look up the scoville heat unit index for reference.
While less lethal alternatives are a great asset to have, they have their problems.
Tasers are equipped with a cartridge that contains one set of electrodes, if you missed, your only hope will be to dump the cartridge and get up close and personal with the bad guy and use it as a stun gun. The other problem is that tasers were designed for cops, who could deploy the electrodes, and drop the threat long enough to cuff him or her. Tasers aren’t stun guns and they cause loss of consciousness, they are used as pain compliance tools to disrupt the nervous system long enough to stop the immediate threat and cuff him. In a matter of seconds after the taser quits firing he will regain his mobility.
Pepper spray is better because it delivers fast acting results however it’s possible that It can cause a response from your body, for instance it could cause you to suffer the same effects by proximity.
Not to discourage you, by all means carry either or both, but getting a gun, learning how to use it and becoming proficient with it, then getting a license is a great idea. It’s my belief that everyone should carry one or all three of these things as situations differ.
Good luck.

Do you want pepper spray to be legalised in canada for civilian use.

It is great for vulnerable women.

should pepper spray remain illegal?

It should be take off the list of prohibited devices and the criminal code should be amended to allow people to carry weapons for self defence concealed and openly. Currently it is illegal to carry anything including legal objects for the purpose of self defence against human predators. With the exception of a few judges, politicians and other important people who are licenced to carry handguns.
