Actually, we have more to fear from the aviation industry, quite a lot of incidents occur where frozen contents from the "Comfort" cabins in various aircraft fall to earth and hit something, or someone every year.

Ah that old myth. Unless in the rare event of a leak, it doesn't happen, they're not allowed to and have no mechanism to do so.

Actually, far, far less than hardly ever. From your own link: 27 reported incidents in 24 years - 40 million flights every year in the US - basically a 1 in 40 million chance of a bit of blue ice falling off an aircraft and hitting your roof. I'll not lose any sleep.

Someone I know works in a local nighclub. Two ne'er do wells climbed over the bar and tried to steal/distribute bottles of spirits. They used what was thought to be pepper spray on a few, but no-one was really bothered by it and no medical attention required. One person felt slightly dizzy, but only momentarily and didn't fall over. Local rag reported on the front page as:
'I didn't think I'd get out alive'.
Story told of faintings, collapsings, stampedes and described it as a 'gas' attack.
Quite...

The nightclub firm I used to work for had an incident where a punter was 'asked to leave', took it badly and came back later with a molotov cocktail which he launched into the club when the door got opened at some point.
Incident dealt with efficiently and failed to make it beyond the local press. It probably helped that it was in Edinburgh which is far beyond the reach of terrorist incidents, of course!

I worked in a pub in Tynemouth with a large North Shields clientele. We had bullet proof glass doors into the bar and lounge areas. They were a sound investment. I say bullet proof, shotgun proof would be a better description.
