tasers

[earthminor]

A guy at my work got a taser disguised as a mobile phone (illegal, of course). I didn't know what it was and he encouraged me to lean in for a closer look, and then he set it off right in my face. :p Those things are really loud, my ears were ringing for thirty minutes after that! Plus he tried to trick everyone as they arrived (I'm always first)

A few months back, we had a big problem in one of the firm's cities (not one of mine, thankfully), cops tasered a man, and it killed him. It was because he was morbidly obese AND drunk AND I think on drugs when they hit him, so what should have just slowed him down actually triggered a massive coronary and killed him.

I say that to say this: I looked at the subject line, and my first reaction was a somewhat exasperated, "Oh Good GOD, does EVERYBODY in the WORLD know about that?"
