Cos a transitory assault from which you can recover deserves the death penalty. Granted, being pepper sprayed would be more than unpleasant and if I were to be on the receiving end I guarantee I'd be an angry SOB ... Doesn't mean the idiot that did it deserves death. You keyboard killers are disturbing and if it wouldn't cost some poor SOB his life, I'd wish the scenario you describe would occur so that you'd spend a large part of the rest of your adult life in prison.
