That's awful :( I hope you're doing okay,
assaults like that can
definitely be jarring.
If experience from various mass mobilizations & protests gives any
credence, there are some methods to alleviate the burning from pepper
spray. Medics in these situations often carry water bottles to flush
out the eyes of those effected. Basically you just lean your head back
and pour lukewarm water into your eyes to wash away as much of the
harmful chemical as possible.

That being said, that's usually when there are lots of people there to
help, and you're well prepared.

waiting for the 72M.
So, ah, watch yourselves.
I was transferring my iPad to my backpack when 2 muggers wrenched it out
of
my hands and a third one maced me right in the
eyes. I mean not just a
little spray, a serious "I mean to blind you" lengthy spray.
An emergency team showed up about 6 minutes after the incident, and the
cops showed up about 8 minutes after. They were very helpful.
One of them asked if I had "Find my Phone" installed, which I did. They
activated it and located the iPad right away. They detained 2 suspects
who
were carrying the iPad.
I sat in the back of a cop car as they stood under the light. One
suspect
wasn't so clear to me, and I said so -- I
wasn't sure. The other suspect
was *definitely* the girl who maced me, so I said so. They let the guy
go
and took the girl in. That felt really weird.
I'm going to write this up in more detail on my blog, because my face
feels
like it's melting off so I'm not going to
be able to sleep anyway.
What a strange experience.
