...what do you guys (and girls) think about the whole taser incident in Philly last Monday. Was that the right thing for the police to do?

If you don't know what I'm talking about, a Phillies fan ran out on the field during Monday night's game, and got tased by police.

Of course it's right. In any other country they would have shot him, which also would have been right.

Edit:
For anyone who needs this explained (Hit your head, maybe?) The guy could have easily been a terrorist.

You condone the killing of innocent civilians because they choose to disrupt a sporting activity?

See above edit, which I put before you posted.

Wow, I doubt one person on a baseball field would try terrorism there.

Yep, I'm sure anybody who runs on a sports field is a terrorist.

Serious or sarcasm? Because if you're serious, that guy wasn't a terrorist, just a really stupid 17 year-old.

I don't see how you could not consider that sarcasm.

Has it ever occurred to you that "indescribable" is an adjective? Just wondering.

I'd rather they tasered a hundred idiots than end up having one suicidal bomber explode a full stadium, but see it as you wish.

The taser wasn't bad. But are you serious? Kill a civilian that's most likely not a terrorist 'cause he likes the Phillies?

That's not what I would call... Common_Sense.

Not right to taser him, but not right to disrupt the game.

Are you kidding? He broke the law, and resisted arrest. If he wasn't tasered the guard would lose his job, anyway.

But it's not right to shoot him, either roll

Aw dangit, when I saw "not right to disrupt the game," I thought, "Drat, I just lost".

Well, I think at least most of us can agree on this; whether we think it's right or not, it's still kinda funny to watch. To me, it looks like something that would be on America's Funniest Videos.
