Alabama Thief said “Happy Holidays” Then Pepper Sprayed People
It’s that time of year when you’re going to hear Christmas music and friendly ‘Happy Holidays’ from family, friends, co-workers and staff at your local establishments. Typically, that season greeting isn’t followed by getting sprayed with bear mace. That’s what happened when an Alabama thief pepper sprayed people after giving them well wishes for the holiday season.
A woman in Gardendale, Alabama attempted to rob a jewelry store and upon entering the store, yelled “Happy Holidays” and began pepper spraying people. She said, “I don’t want to hurt y’all” but the owner of the store took action almost immediately and shot the suspect. The entire interaction took about 40 seconds. And, after being shot she was able to run out of the store but was found later by authorities and arrested.

According to reports, the owner saw the woman enter and place something in front of the door. He was prepared because he could sense something was off. Once she starting spraying the bear mace he said he had no choice but to shoot because there was no telling what was to come next. The owner was able to get a pretty good shot on her shoulder and is glad she didn’t die. He says that he is happy that she will be given another chance to change her life. And, that she’ll have the chance to rehabilitate herself, and that no one else was injured.
Bear Mace vs. Pepper Spray
The woman’s choice of bear mace was a more dangerous one . There is a significant difference between your average pepper spray and a bear mace. Bear mace is designed to be shot from a further distance and has a higher concentration of the active ingredients. Pepper spray is not as strong and is meant to temporarily incapacitate an attacker. According to information about both, it really depends on the brand or specific product but generally bear mace is more powerful.

5 of Rock's Most Controversial Songs
Rock and roll history is littered with controversy. Some of the best examples come from the music itself.
One example that comes to mind is GN’R Lies. The second studio album from Guns N’ Roses, GN’R Lies was released on November 29, 1988. The eight-track album is divided into two parts. The first part, which is the first four tracks, is a re-release of the band’s 1986’s EP Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide.
Meanwhile, the second part is made up of four acoustic tracks. Among them is the hit song “Patience,” which peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Also included is an acoustic version of “You’re Crazy,” the original version of which is on 1987’s Appetite for Destruction.
The second half also features “Used to Love Her.” We previously wrote of this track in our ranking of every GN'R song, “Not sure if there’s an award for ‘Catchiest Songs About Murdering Your Significant Other,’ but if there is, ‘Used to Love Her’ would at the very least be in the running. The only thing about this song that has really aged well is its melody, which is still a solid earworm.”
This leads us to the final acoustic song, which also serves as the final track on the album: “One in a Million.” While Guns N’ Roses have plenty of songs in their catalog that still sound fresh today, “One in a Million” certainly has not.
In a February 2023 interview with Yahoo! Entertainment, this track was brought up to Slash. The guitar icon said he doesn’t like dwelling on the past. However, he does admit that most things GN’R did in their heyday wouldn’t fly today.
” … Most of everything that [Guns N’ Roses] did would’ve gotten us canceled in this day and age,” said Slash. “We would not have fared well in this environment, for sure — I mean, on so many different levels.”
With GN’R Lies and “One in a Million” in mind, here’s a look at just five of rock’s most controversial songs.
