As the State Street crowd turned suddenly riotous early Sunday morning, police resorted to the use of pepper spray to quell the horde of Halloween revelers for the fourth year in a row.
Madison’s Halloween tradition is now in jeopardy, as indicated by a release Sunday from Madison Mayor Dave Cieslewicz and Police Chief Noble Wray, which raised serious questions about the future of the event.
Discussions to cancel the event or limit it are expected to ensue over the course of next year.

We are a nation of the people. The people have spoken. They want pepper spray. I say let them eat pepper spray. Let us now proclaim this a Halloween tradition and give us our pepper spray.

I believe that your suggestion is considered chemical warfare, and a violation of the Geneva convention.
But what the hey - they want pepper spray - who are we to deny them?

Actually habenaro is hotter than Thai, but their flavor isn't as good.

Sounds like express consent to me. They should have been thoroughly sprayed and then sent the bill.

LOL..
Next we need an announcer saying "Alright sports fans!" and we have the makings of a new reality TV game show in a twisted mix of American Gladiator meets Fear Factor with a dash of Maximum Exposure.

We want Pepperspray" during this year's Halloween Riot This don't surprise me at all. Just like there are a lot of people out there that would rather sit in jail, watch TV and read magazines all day, than work.

Shoot, in Texas many of the chili competitions feature a pepperspray tasting contest. Not a big deal down here.

According to the editorial on that site, it was totally unprovoked. Figures.

It's really just a bad business practice. I think that if you are a jailer, or a warden, if you can't conduct your establishment in such a way that your clientele are dis-satisfied enough to discourage them from patronizing you again - then you have pretty much failed...

I tried that last year, and my neighbor was REALLY unhappy with me. I don't know why, her kids weren't twitching or screaming THAT much.

I knew it. I knew it. I knew it.
I read the headline and said to myself: "I bet this about Madison." What a bunch of losers. I'm ashamed to be from the same state.
