I WAS ALSO HIT WITH BEAR SPRAY BLOW BACK, SO MY FACE IS BURNING BUT IT FEELS SO GOOD. — Sonya Yu (@sonyayu) November 27, 2012
 

Tho imagining how bad he’s suffering (considering I emptied half a canister of bear spray onto him) makes me feel better.

@nettatheninja he didn’t try to attack me but he did have a knife. I was above him on the 1st floor balcony, dousing him with bear spray. — Sonya Yu (@sonyayu) November 27, 2012
 

@whitneyreeder I just citizen arrested & bear sprayed a notorious, violent thief/rapist in the neighborhood that everyone has been after.

@whitneyreeder he steals packages from door stoops – stole $1K+ worth from us earlier in the fall. He’s been targeting our neighborhood. — Sonya Yu (@sonyayu) November 27, 2012
 

JUST GOT A CALL FROM THE COPS: THEY’RE OFFICIALLY BOOKING HIM FOR ATTEMPTED BURGLARY & NOT JUST TRESPASSING. VICTORY!
