Phillies Fan Tasered, Soon To Be Classic Photo Included

[Safetyhit]

Now that looks like a man determined to hit his target. Apparently the players had a good laugh watching it go on.

The legality of the incident is under review.

There's no "legality" to review. It's a perfectly good taze.

Personally I agree, but one of the morning radio shows here stated that they were still determining if he was actually a threat to anyone or just a blatant goofball who clearly meant no harm.

Again, their words and not mine. I think they did the right thing and likely even set a new precedent for such rowdy folks.

Comments on the youtube firmly divided between "stupid kid got what was coming" and "tasers are always bad & should only be used against George Bush" Didn't see that coming.


I see there a kid that wanted his 15 minutes .. . . probably thought if he got hurt, he'd get on the Today show.

I disagree. I don't know what the law states but a goofy teenager who's an attention seeking, towel waving knucklehead who's having fun doesn't need to be tased. Give him 30 seconds and he'll run out of wind, then toss him out of the park.

When you chase after him and tase him you run the risk of him being injured and then suing the city, police, etc. A waste of tax dollars fighting his case, administering the taser, arresting him, transporting and jailing him. He's a dumb kid who's looking to have fun and get attention not an out of control suspect who's a safety risk to others.

The picture is pretty funny and they did get a great photo

Stupid's gotta hurt for people to learn a lesson.

He broke the law.

He was resisting arrest.

That's generally sufficient to justify the tase.
