Pepper Spray to the Rescue

The use of a can of pepper spray came to the rescue for a store clerk, after a man tried to rob a convenience store on Sunday night.

When the masked man entered the store demanding money from the clerk, instead of seeing his wishes complied with, he was met with the clerk’s handy self defense device, which saw the masked man’s attempts at robbery thwarted.

Unfortunately, the man in question, who was chased from the store by several customers, managed to escape. And yet, the only person who suffered any injury was the masked robber himself.

These days, it’s not an uncommon sight to read reports in newspapers or hear on TV about the latest store robbery; and in most cases the suspects who target these places, which they consider easy, usually get away with what they want. Thankfully though in this case, not only did the targeted store not lose any of its money, or suffer any harm, but the only one who suffered was the robber.

Furthermore, because of the outcome from this particular incident, it helps to stop potential robbers from targeting convenience stores, as they will more than likely think that every store clerk will have some sort of self defense device, such as pepper spray, safely tucked behind their counter hidden away from view.

Not only that, but it will be a long time before anyone tries to make a repeat of targeting this convenience store, especially the man who failed, as this event will no doubt leave a deep impression on him for a long time to come.

But it’s all thanks to the help of the pepper spray employed that peoples lives were saved from what could have potentially turned into something more dangerous if the masked man didn’t receive the money he wanted, and there was no personal protection device around to help those in need.

And yet, with the quick thinking of the store clerk, and the effectiveness of the canister spray, the situation was quickly disabled that ended on a good note for those involved who were unfortunately targeted.
