Stupid Or Careless?

Virginia Tech Hokies place kicker Cody Journell was involved in a pepper spray incident recently at a local Buffalo Wild Wings. He reportedly sprayed a canister of pepper spray inside the restaurant. No arrests were made, and no one is pressing charges against Journell.

Journell was showing a friend how her can of pepper spray worked when he accidentally set it off in the restaurant. The entire dining room had to be evacuated for nearly an hour while they waited for the effects to wear off. While the restaurant was cleared, a group of young men took advantage of the confusion and left without paying their tab.

A server that was on duty at the time, believed that Journell set the pepper spray off on purpose, but wasn’t aware that it would be so volatile. In either case Journell is guilty of being careless or foolish or both, you be the judge.
