Hey Kid you've got a little something on your face. SPRAY

"Gotta empty this can before I leave anyway." I guess I'm a dick too given that I know that the true context is pretty heart breaking.

What's the true context? I've been trying to find some context for this because it is fucking ridiculous and I want to know why it happened, but I can't find any.

Just like he would do if he were spraying insects.

Isn't it so easy to laugh at things when you are so far away from them in your big comfy computer chair?

Just because it's wrong doesn't mean it isn't a funny picture

It's fake. debunking sources have been posted in the thread.

u/MooCop Oct 18 '11

Nope.

u/GoatBased Oct 19 '11

Yup... he's spraying someone behind the woman, not the little girl.

u/MooCop Oct 19 '11

Then it's not fake? The title is just wrong and the picture is just misleading.

From what I understand, pepper spray is potent. All the people in this picture would have been writhing from the pain in their eyes. Yet they aren't. So maybe that should make you think this was something other than what the title wants you to think.
