Officials helping bear-sprayed victim.
CANADA — A foul-mouthed homeless woman didn’t want cameras filming a homeless camp and sprayed freelance reporter Kevin MacDonald (his Twitter) with Bear Spray (highly concentrated pepper spray), which is an assault. The 39-year-old woman, Christina Bentley, was arrested and police will be recommending charges of assault with a weapon. MacDonald had just donated a bunch of bottled water to the homeless there, too and vows never again to help them. Read the news story on this here and on this Canadian news site.
