Administrators are investigating a Norfolk school security guard's use of pepper spray during a food fight.
The incident happened during lunch Tuesday at the cafeteria of Lafayette-Winona Middle School. Norfolk Public Schools spokesperson Elizabeth Mather said that the officer used pepper spray to break up the fight.
A concerned parent wrote 10 On Your Side saying the spray caused some of the kids with asthma to get sick. Mather said 37 students who complained of physical symptoms following the pepper spray were examined by the school nurse, and their parents were contacted.

You know, rent a cops, as well as police seem to have this idea in their heads that just because it won't kill someone, that it's ok to use it at will to solve any problem.
What if a kid had been suffering from an asthma attack? We'd have one dead kid on our hands.
Some people have no brains.

If I would have been pepper sprayed for taking part in a food fight when I was a kid, my vengeance would have been terrible.
TERRIBLE!!!
I'm much more mellow now, but this really pisses me off.

If it were my child that got sprayed, my wrath would start at the guard and roll all the way to the negligent morons that allowed such a person to be armed with pepper spray around my child.
My wrath would be severe and well worth the fines and anger managment classes I would be required to take afterwards.
Hurt my minor child and I will hurt you.
