39-year-old Man Pepper-sprays 14-year-old Girl After Being Taunted for Weeks

Posted by Brent Peterson on Sep 13, 2012 in World | 81 comments

Christopher Whittle, who pepper-sprayed a teen at the mall for repeatedly antagonizing his boyfriend.

We’ve heard the stories of gay teens being taunted by peers in school. We’ve seen how those stories end. It was only a matter of time before someone stood up and took action, saying “You can’t do that and get away with it.”

Who would’ve thought that person would be a going-on-40 Canadian man?

Apparently up in Canada, a 39-year-old man from Halifax, Nova Scotia pepper-sprayed a 14-year-old girl at a mall after she taunted his boyfriend with homophobic slurs for weeks. Yep, you read it right.

[Christopher] Whittle said this was not a planned attack. But he said the girl has been taunting his boyfriend who works at the mall for weeks. Whittle said the slurs began when his partner wore beads from gay pride to work.

“This was happening every few days. She was coming and making comments about him being gay, and basically just taunting him for who he was, calling him a faggot, fruit whatever,” Whittle said.

What kind of parenting is this girl getting that she goes up to 30-somethings and starts dropping the F-bomb? Really? It goes on from there.

Friday, Whittle said he witnessed an incident between the girl and his partner. He said he snapped.

“After so much of this going on, and seeing how this affected him – someone you love being tortured in this way, it does something to you. It really does.”

He said he went to his car and got the spray. He said he owned it for self-defense purposes.

By the sounds of it, it would seem that this girl was deserving of some kind of punishment. But is pepper-spraying her really the right solution?

In a sadly ironic turn of events, Whittle is now facing four charges and jail time for his actions.

What do you guys think? Was Whittle justified in his actions? Did he go overboard? What should the punishment be for situations like this?

Spit in her face would have worked much better.

https://facebook.com/suzystabalot Judith Iscariot

Actually, spitting in her face is also assault – and they can claim “Blah blah blah something about you’re trying to give my daughter AIDS by getting blood on her through your spit.” And probably manage to sue the poor guys for some sort of emotional trauma.

Things could have turned out worse. Hopefully she’ll learn her lesson, and realize that. Or, maybe, she can petition a republican for a work visa and move to a red state…

i believe she deserved it, it means in future shes not going to insult anyone again is she, cause now shes scared of pepper spray, he doesnt deserve the charges i would consider it self defence, if it was a 14 year old bot harrassing an older woman for a while hed get beaten and nobody would care, why are girls any different we want gender equality righ

Answering verbal attacks with violence is never self-defense.

http://www.mastersonhall.com/ Jesse Hall

Answering a verbal attack with violence can and will be justified if the verbal threat lead the man to reasonably believe his boyfriend was in imminent physical danger or harm

In this sense, the girl’s verbal threats should be viewed in the context of all of the girl’s behavior (both prior to and at the time of the man’s actions), which of course we don’t know from this story. As such, any and all of the girl’s past and present aggressive physical conduct, tone of voice, verbal threats, demeanor, and expressions should be considered to determine the reasonableness of the man’s conduct in defending another person (in this case, his significant other).

If proved reasonable, the man will be justified and found to have legally acted in defense of another (in this case to protect his boyfriend).

To put this in context, police act in self defense and defense of others (usually other officers) all the time by physically/violently reacting to verbal threats/statements from laypersons. It’s also worth noting the police often use pepper spray as part of their physical response and justify its use largely because of its alleged temporary effects on the person being sprayed.

Final thought: the man arrested should stop making statements and hire a lawyer. Or, if he has a lawyer, he should fire the lawyer and find an attorney who at least knows enough to advise this guy to shut up and not talk to anyone.

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=24707380 Aaron Daniel

At least in most US states, even when confronted with a physically violent situation, the victim has a duty to retreat, if possible. Even if she was beating the snot out of him, if there was a way out, he has to try to utilize it before resorting to violence.

The actions of his partner are in no way justified, legally

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=24707380 Aaron Daniel

If Canadian law is similar to US law regarding the duty to retreat, the actions of his partner are not legally justifiable.
http://www.mastersonhall.com/ Jesse Hall

I understand your point. My point is we don’t know enough about the situation or applicable laws to determine if such actions may be legally defensible.

Also, the Model Penal Code suggests statutory language that recognizes an exception to the usual duty to retreat when the victim of the attack is in his or her own place of work. MPC § 3.04(2)(b)(ii). And while some jurisdiction may require a duty to retreat, others certainly don’t. And when a duty to retreat is juxtaposed with a defense of others doctrine (as opposed to self defense), the actual legality of one’s actions may be more equivocal.

Again, I understand your point, but I don’t believe we know enough to draw a conclusion. As such, I’m just recognizing there is of course more to this situation than what is in the article, which may (or may not) justify his actions. Also, I have no idea what the law of this jurisdiction is, so I am only commenting generally.

I’ll give you the last word.
ostracario

Perhaps not legally justifiable but certainly understandable. He admitted he handled to situation inappropriately, and she learned a valuable lesson.

http://www.facebook.com/jessica.hoover.908 Jessica Hoover

the police answer verbal attacks with this so called violence all the time. see how many times police spray protesters with pepper spray….its not violent. Its not like shes going to go the hospital for it. she was most likely ok after a few minutes. why do people find pepper spray violent? its not!

igottasayL0L

The police have a job, which is to enforce the law. They have considerably more liberties than everyone else when it comes to the use of force. By the way, anything that intentionally causes harm or pain qualifies as violence.

stevenwheels

This was obviously a wrong thing to do and for so many reasons. I am sure this could have been handled in a different way. Not to mention, the age difference! If you can’t fend off verbal attacks from a 14 year old girl, then you should have your gay card revoked. Am I the only one that feels this way?
Dustin Ellsworth

It was a little extreme, but deserved.
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=622076964 G. Todd Brisbin

The girl was in the wrong, but spray her? I’d say spray the parents, they obviously aren’t able to raise a respectful child. Is it still too late to abort?
http://www.facebook.com/shane.mcgarry Shane McGarry

why didn’t he just contact mall security and have her removed? he could have even filed harassment complaints with the police.

http://www.facebook.com/jessica.hoover.908 Jessica Hoover

its her word against his. theres no way of telling who theyd believe. and harrassment complaints to the police never go anywhere unless they can prove you are absolutely in physical danger. thats just the sad truth.

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=70803086 Michael Braithwaite

I can’t feel sorry for her.
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000101361713 Thomas Rigg

I don’t think this is really defensible. It was obviously premeditated because he went out to his car and got the spray and then sprayed her. While the girl’s actions are reprehensible, this was violence, not self defense.

Teresa

If it were premeditated, he’d have brought the spray in and waited for the girl to come to harass his boyfriend. It was a heat of the moment act. He witnessed the harassment, got increasingly upset, and went to get the pepper spray. I also think he was justified. I bet this girl learned a lesson. Good on him. I only wish someone would pepper spray her parents.
steven chambers

Premeditated? Highly doubtful, he would’ve had it in his pocket.

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002554226606 Kindra Pring Eubanks

No, that’s not how premeditated works. If he had it in his pocket there would be no proof. Premeditated simply means it was very deliberate, and the person had more than enough time to consider their actions. In his pocket – he wouldn’t have that. All the way out in his car? He went out there and came back with one intention – to spray this girl. THAT makes it premeditated.

https://facebook.com/suzystabalot Judith Iscariot

He obviously had time to think, because he went to his car, opened it, got the spray, went back to the mall, sought out the girl, and sprayed her. That being said, she may have been warned (even so, she’s still 14 and presumably an effing idiot) prior to his getting the spray, and continued with her taunting.
At fourteen, you should know not to do certain things. Calling adults names and making fun of them is definitely one of them. I think she needed to be removed from the mall for harassment if this had been going on for a long time, but I guess she’s not apt to make that mistake again.

mercuriciodide

I knew not to behave like that when I was 5 years old. And, since I don’t have a rotten personality, I wouldn’t have wanted to anyway.

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=511362083 Derek Fox

I would smacked the girl in her face, forget the spray. If she tried doing it again I’d actually punch her.

mercuriciodide

Then you’d be jailed for assault.

http://www.facebook.com/people/Fia-Ramirez/1132841784 Fia Ramirez

I want to say I would do the same thing, but I think I would have instead, found something about her to make fun of. DIg deep down, every 14 year old girl has SOMETHING in their closet.

ostracario

It’s Halifax and she’s 14. There’s probably potato chips and warm pop in her closet.

I completely understand wanting to protect your loved ones, however, we as a community are no better than the bullies when we start to behave as our tormentors do. I’m 39 and the HS kid in me says :Hellz Yes!!” The adult advocate in me says, “there are better ways to handle this”.
http://www.facebook.com/jael.rowan Jael Rowan

Words are words, and getting physical is a whole ‘nother level. He should not have taken a verbal assault to the level of physical assault, but I believe he should have unleashed a barrage of nasty comments to match hers, not reached out with physical violence, that’s just wrong, sorry.
http://www.facebook.com/jonnystewart87 Jonny Stewart

Not feeling sorry for her at all…she was basically asking for it. Shame on her and her parents.

It was only pepper spray. She will survive. The emotional scarring she may have caused will last for years, even decades. Was it extreme, yes, did the “victim” do anything to stop it, such as reporting her to his supervisors, or mall security? We don’t know. However, the man deserves to live his life without being harassed by some snot nosed bigoted homophobic girl. Yes, she deserved it, and no, Christopher does not deserve to be punished.

http://www.facebook.com/KryptonianBaby Justin Castellano

The emotional scarring? are you serious? He’s an adult, and should’ve taken a more controlled course of action than violently attacking a very young minor, no matter how atrocious her behavior. And I’m willing to bet you’ve never been pepper sprayed. She’ll survive, but with a large chance of corneal damage and the memory of what was probably excruciating physical pain that lasts for days, definitely prompting a visit to the hospital. Minors act stupidly, but he showed he has the mentality of a high school girl, and is not going to receive any leniency because of the age gap. If he were her age, this would be a different story, but he’s not, it isn’t, and he should’ve shown restraint by seeking a nonviolent course of action. Also, the level of bias on this site is pretty awful. If he was straight and did this because she called his girlfriend ugly, I’m sure you’d all have much different opinions.

ostracario

Perhaps Little Miss Epithet will think twice in the future before she resorts to homophobic taunting. As far as your accusation that ”
the level of bias on this site is pretty awful,” I beg to differ. I’ve been to the Yahoo comments as well as those on HuffPo and the CBC and most people agree that a) Mr. Whittle over-reacted and should have handled this in a different way and, b) the girl (who looked much older than her 14 years) shouldn’t have been taunting and harassing Mr. Whittle’s partner for 6 weeks. I was actually surprised when I read the comments on those sites. Overwhelmingly people feel that, when pushed too far, sometimes people snap. And they understand that.

http://www.facebook.com/KryptonianBaby Justin Castellano

Or maybe her opinion of homosexuals as evil, sub human deviants is cemented into her psyche, and will pass that prejudice on to her kids, along with a justification to show them. I don’t care if she paraded around his partner’s stall with Dick Van Dyke’s drum suit in mary poppins singing anti gay anthems and wearing a shirt saying “eat da poopoo.” Nothing justifies a full grown man nearly 3 times her age taking a can of pepper spray, a method of incapacitation that’s currently under debate as to whether it’s too inhumane for even LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS to carry, and spraying a minor who is rather far from legal adulthood for verbal attacks, something that could easily be remedied by a harassment suit. Were he of equivalent age, I’d be more torn about this, and more sympathetic towards him, chalking it up to adult apathy, but he’s a full grown man, and being pissed off, even rightfully so, is not a justification for violence. If it was, I’d murder anyone who looked at me cockeyed.

steven chambers

Everything the cops do is under debate for being cruel.

Seems as though my video link needs moderating. Here’s a non link version http://wwwDOTyoutubeDOTcom/watch?v=bJn1Fu6pHlQ . This is a video of a fully grown man getting pepper sprayed. Keep in mind that his friend barely spritzed him, he was expecting it, and the girl probably didn’t have accommodations at the ready to relieve the excruciating pain.

exactly.
http://www.facebook.com/people/Angel-Waite/1270145027 Angel Waite

I’ve been peppered sprayed (by choice) and it rarely causes corneal damage unless you’re stupid enough to not flush your eyes. The pain does not last for days (again, unless you are stupid enough to not do anything about it) and if she did go to the hospital, she was given the antidote which almost immediately alleviates all pain. She’s not far from being an adult and yes, I think he went a bit too far, but realistically, she deserved it. You’re blowing it out of proportion and truthfully, her parents should be pepper sprayed, also. If it were a straight man and his gf was being harassed at her place of employment for weeks on end by ANYONE, I would have expected security and management to be called in…As it should have happened ANYWAY!
I am a bisexual woman and I approve this message.

Oi, what a slippery slope.

Yes, the girl deserved some sort of “telling-off,” but dealing with minors in any way is a big, big hassle. The best, and slowest, route through mall security to have her removed and a complaint filed, but easy to say while not in the heat of the moment.

Of course, this is also a parenting issue. The parents should be held accountable to their child’s actions as much as the guy should be held accountable for his.

https://facebook.com/suzystabalot Judith Iscariot

I think the parents need to be held accountable, no question. If they’re around, they are allowing their daughter to disrespect an elder horrendously. If not, where the hell are they? They’re dumping a 14-year-old at a mall for what sounds like a long time quite often – isn’t that somehow not parenting? Neglect maybe?

AmethystGilmour

I don’t think this will stop her homophobia in the slightest. This is an escalation, and a really negative one — watch what happens when she gets ahold of militant anti-gay groups. Watch what happens now when she grows up thinking that gays aren’t the harmless patsies that she made fun of in her youth, they’re monsters that pepper spray little girls. Thanks, dude, you just set us back 20 paces and into the firing line.

Deserved but to extreme, he is almost 40 he really could not come up with a better action. At least if he had slapped her he could claim temporarily being insane but walking to his car to get the pepper spray….
igottasayL0L

I don’t condone homophobic slurs, regardless of the age or gender of those involved, but I also don’t condone violence. Unless the girl physically attacked someone, pepper spraying her was not the answer, and it was NOT self defense. She may be a sorry excuse for a human in need of a serious wake-up call, but you still don’t physically harm someone just because they said something you didn’t like. As others have already pointed out, there are numerous (better) ways in which two adults could have handled this, but instead they escalated the situation.
http://www.facebook.com/rgteran Rolando Teran

The 14 year old girl deserved it. It is Bullying! The person being bullied is working so has to maintain a professional attitude or else he would face being fired. Why didn’t the manager of the store come to his rescue and have the 14 year old removed or call Mall Security and have her banned since this has been going on for sometime per the new article. It wasn’t until someone else regardless of who it is that took action. I commend him for doing it! Shame on the 14 year old girl’s family for raising “Hate.” She should be put to arrest.
Jacob Ryan

I’m not going to comment on the morality of the action because I can’t say that in the same situation, I wouldn’t go to extremes. However, I’ve never been there. But just on paper. . .

This guy is kinda gangsta. Ha!

Honestly, I feel more than a little conflicted over this.

I mean, yes, she obviously deserved some comeuppance for her actions, and I feel that she needed to realize that her actions were wrong and unjustified.

However, I really don’t believe that pepper spray was justified in this case, nor do I believe I would’ve done so. Pretty sure that she could’ve been banned from the store for her actions, and if she kept coming in, she could’ve had mall security called to remove her forcibly, or even have some form of police intervention over her actions. I would fully support this, since that would be (so long as the police didn’t overreact and pull out pepper spray) a justifiable and well-deserved response.

It goes both ways: She deserved what she got, but he also deserves to be punished for the vigilantism. This is a case of actions and consequences. The girl acted and faced a consequence.The man also acted and is now facing the consequences of his actions.

She was 14! If this man could not handle a 14 year old girl verbally, than he has maturity issues! call a cop, it was harassment, get her parents number, follow her and confront her parents, but NOthing justifies that pepper spray attack on a stupid kid!

of COURSE he went overboard. it is not ironic that a 40-year-old man now faces jail time for pepper spraying a FOURTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL. it doesn’t matter in the slightest what she said. pepper spray, as the dude himself said, is for self-defense. what the f*&k kind of lesson is he teaching this child about respect for others by physically attacking her in retaliation for verbal abuse?

Being an insufferable dick isn’t a reason to be pepper sprayed. I’m not defending the jack@ss kid, but the adult should have handled it like… an adult, maybe?

http://www.facebook.com/dhtroy Troy Morgan

This went too far. I wish he had thought about how to stop her without getting physical. Film it and call the police. Take it to her parents. Have her banned from the mall. Can you really feel good about pepper spraying a 14 year old? And now there are the repercussions…. so not worth it. We have to be smart when dealing with these situations.

While I want to see action taken against hostile ignorance, it should be appropriate retribution. Always the nonviolent course at every cost, with aggression being the last resort. Was everything done to avoid assaulting this girl? Contacting mall security? Filing a report of harassment? Threatening lawsuit against the girl’s parents? Getting a restraining order? If any of those steps were skipped, I would say that the decision to spray caustic chemicals into a minor’s eyes was wrong, no matter how foul her mouth.
ostracario

On HuffPo and other mainstream sites people are predominately in support of Mr. Whittle. They agree that he could have handled the situation much differently but also, they understand that sometimes when backed into a corner we’re not always as rational as we’d like to be. Knowing that Little Miss Epithet didn’t look her age and that she taunted Mr. Whittle’s boyfriend for several weeks, many feel she got what she deserved. Interesting then that on this site there are so many bashing Mr. Whittle.

mercuriciodide

I woke up to being physically attacked in my frat room by a homophobic housemate and guess what the police did? They laughed at me and told me “this isn’t High school”, whatever that was supposed to mean. Then they claimed that if I went to the courthouse to press charges that I’d be arrested and jailed for six months for assault, because my attacker lied — claiming I hit him first (I didn’t hit him at all). The house manager saw what happened and refused to tell the police the truth.

So, if this guy had a similar experience, perhaps that explains why he didn’t bother with security guards, who have even less professional training than real police.
http://www.facebook.com/justin.hook.100 Justin Hook

alot of you say that its because hes too old but if you had kids dont you think youd do the sa=me to them like my aunty found out her son had beaten another gay kid up so she practcally put him in hospotal to tech what voilence feels like and hes never hit anyone again, she wasnt charged for assault she was being a good mum, honestly if i was her father id pepper spray he when she got home lol

igottasayL0L

Then you’d have your child taken away by social services. This is just how the world works. You may be a proponent of violence, but the law does not condone the examples that you keep bringing up. I personally think that’s a good thing, but I realize that not everyone agrees.

He is a 30-year-old man…did he possibly consider talking to her parents? Talking to her school? Hell, even just telling her what for. I can’t really say she deserved it because I don’t think people deserve immediate violence over VERBAL confrontations. Unless he tried other methods and none of them worked, this was uncalled for.

Not to be mean, but she got off easy. If it had been me I would’ve removed her from the store personally. If that didn’t work…I probably would’ve maced her. Granted there isn’t enough info for me to make a completely informed choice. Both are at fault and both should be punished. Nothing super extreme something like community service or whatever.
http://www.facebook.com/people/Jim-Orozco/100000540513812 Jim Orozco

no one is justified in violence..especially and adult against a child. I do feel badly for him though and all I can say for her is that hopefully karma will either come back and bite her in the ass for this later in life or it will help her learn how stupid and hurtful her ignorance was. The man should face charges. without a doubt. But hopefully the courts will take into consideration the circumstances and at least be somewhat lenient!
http://www.facebook.com/SilverShoes Chris Richards

I don’t think he should be facing any charges. All he did was pepper spray her. It’s not like he punched her in the gut or stabbed her or anything seriously dangerous. He just taught her a lesson about being respectful towards others. And I think it’s stupid he’s the one being punished for it!
http://www.facebook.com/raffaele.demonte Raffaele Demonte

There is obviously something fundamentally wrong with this girl, whether it be unhappy, molested as a littler rendition of herself, etc, but she didn’t deserve the spraying in the eyes. However, I’m not the least bit sorry for her at all. It is something that gay men have to deal with day in day out, she could have gotten worse. For example, I got pelted by stones, someone went biblical on me, so a little pepper spray in the eyes will probably make her think twice the next time she sees a couple of “pole polishers” or “rear door bandits” walking by hand and hand.
Regarding this 40 y/o, he should know better about the ramifications of his actions. You can’t just pepper spray or inflict bodily damage upon someone for being a racist bigot, other wise people would totally ambush RNC by paint balling them until they cry uncle.
If I were his arbitrator, I would sentence him to a couple of months in jail plus 1 year of community service.
