How to Hit a Triple on a Skell

When we talk about triple threats some old names come to mind, like Mickey Mantle, or Paul Horning. Today, with all the specialists in sports, there aren't many guys who pose a triple threat, excepting maybe Alex Rodriguez, who will probably hold a number of records before he retires.

If you can do a number of things well in life, your stock often rises.

Fred Astaire survived a review that said, "can't act, can't sing, dances a little."

He became a Hollywood Superstar, and his career lasted over 50 years.

On the street you need an ace up your sleeve, and Mace Triple Action is your proverbial big brother, or Uncle Louie. The triple threat is OC Pepper, CN Tear Gas, and UV Marking Dye.

The OC pepper stops the skell in his tracks, and causes a wee bit of misery because the skell will feel like he just stepped into hell. His breathing will become labored.

According to wikipedia:

Pepper spray (also known as OC gas, capsicum spray, or oleoresin capsicum) is a lachrymatory agent (a chemical compound that irritates the eyes to cause tears, pain, and even temporary blindness) that is used in riot control, crowd control, and personal self-defense, including defense against dogs and bears. It is a non-lethal agent that can be deadly in rare cases. The American Civil Liberties Union documented fourteen fatalities from the use of pepper spray as of 1995.[1] The active ingredient in pepper spray is capsaicin, which is a chemical derived from the fruit of plants in the Capsicum genus, including chiles.

Then the CN Tear Gas will flush his eyes and he won't be able to see anything, and he'll do some coughing that a quart of Robitussin won't stop. The UV Dye marks the skell, painting him up for an easy identification by police.

CS gas is the common name for 2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile (also called o-Chlorobenzylidene Malononitrile) (chemical formula: C10H5ClN2), a substance that is used as a riot control agent and is generally accepted as being non-lethal. CS was discovered by two Americans, Ben Corson and Roger Staughton, in 1928, and the chemical gets its name from the first letters of the scientists' surnames. The compound is actually a solid at room temperature, though it is used as an aerosol.

It's a real sis boom bah wallop, one that a skell won't see coming until it's too late.

Most police carry the triple threat Mace already. Believe me, they don't carry anything that isn't effective.

If you're prepared, you'll never be surprised.
