Sense of Events: Pepper spraying woman may sue WalmartTeens were traumatized...kiss my ass. Someone wants to cash in. Hey Ms Macias, if you were so concerned about their safety maybe you should have left them at home. Hopefully the DA prosecutes...but this is LA.
The woman who pepper sprayed other shoppers in a Walmart on Black Friday is considering a lawsuit again the giant retailer for failing to provide security.
It was widely reported that Elizabeth Macias, whose name was unknown at the time of the incident, had pepper sprayed other shoppers to move them out of her way so she could grab an item before it sold out. However, she says that she was trying to rescue her two children, who were being attacked by shoppers as they tried to obtain video games.
Elizabeth Macias, 32, said she fired the stinging spray after shoppers attacked her two teenage children as they tried to obtain X-Box video game consoles for purchase, attorney Michael Champ, Macias' lawyer, told CBS News' Los Angeles station KCBS Friday.
At one point, her son was on the ground, being punched by a man and her daughter also was being punched and kicked, Champ said.
The teens were traumatized, he said. ...
Det. Mike Fesperman of the Los Angeles Police Department told the Los Angeles Times it's possible that Macias used the pepper spray in self-defense.
"I'm not saying it was right. It could have been a situation that she was in fear for her safety, that she would be crushed," Fesperman said.
