It just takes on rotten egg.......

Saturday Night, I actually went out, again, in public!
An area DJ service played in an area tavern.
I'd never heard this particular 'service', but their reputation for putting on a "good time" preceded them.
Once inside, I was surprised by the crowd.
The age ranged from "appearing to be just out of High School", to "well past retirement".

I must say, it was crowded, the music was loud, but man what a great time!
That was, until my "party" left.
It was around 12:30 or so I think, and the couple that I was with made it outside the door a few moments before I did.
Once outside, I spotted a woman to my left, sitting on a bar stool, who appeared to be crying, with a small group of women consoling her.
"Must have gotten dumped" was my first thought.
It wasn't the first time I'd seen a woman crying towards the end of the evening at a bar. But something was different this time.

I immediately noticed another small group of people to my right and just up
by the sidewalk a male was on his knees, 'tossing' snow into his face while a woman knelt beside him, aiding him.

My friends yelled at me to "come on man!", and when I caught up to them I found out someone had JUST sprayed pepper spray in the vicinity of the front door to the establishment.

Details are sketchy after that fact due to speaking to different people the next day.
But the bottom line sounds like a "well known female trouble maker" was the culprit.
Why she did it, or if she had a specific target is unknown.

Now, I want to stop there and comment that I rarely get out, but then I do, I expect to have a good time.
The past few times I've gone out have been in the smaller area bars.
Sure, you expect to see the guy who's sloshed out of his mind trying to dance or the shit faced girl hitting on someone's boyfriend.
But to have a psychotic spraying toxics just for kicks?
What the fuck?!
When I go out, I want to have a good time, knock a few back, maybe check out a few good looking women (without actually interacting with them......cuz I'm a nerd), but NOT have to worry about my safety.
But I suppose that's the chance you take.

As of today, no charges have been filed, yet.
