pudge's Journal: Tasered Dude

I shouldn't have been, but I was really surprised when I heard lots of people complaining about this dude who got tasered at the Kerry event. Dude was told to leave, he resisted, so he was arrested, and he resisted that too. He kept resisting. So they used force.

I don't know whether he should have been tasered. I don't care, either: that's a mere procedural matter. He broke the law at several points, and they subdued him. That's their job. Don't break the law, and don't resist arrest when they decide to arrest you for breaking the law, and you won't run into this sort of problem.

He is an idiot.

The guy went over his time, he kept talking. He was asked to stop and he did not. He was asked to leave and he did not. He was initially treated gently until he flipped the fuck out.

He was not doing it because he had something to say to Mr. Kerry. He was doing it to be a prick. http://www.starbanner.com/article/20070918/NEWS/70918007/1053/BREAKING_NEWS [starbanner.com]

So why write the journal entry then? People are complaining that he was tasered, and you're saying you're suprised at them and then say you don't have an opinion on the subject. Er. Ok. Then you change the subject and say that he should have been subdued. But people aren't saying he shouldn't have been subdued, they're saying he shouldn't have been tasered.

I never said I was talking about people complaining that he was tasered. I said they were complaining about the guy who was tasered. I did not change the subject: what I wrote about was a rebuttal to those people, so that context makes clear that the people I am referring to were arguing about him being subdued at all.

Maybe I didn't write the journal entry very well, but you read it even worse.

My new ring tone...
