Phillies fan tazed on field

[Fungo Squiggly]

Teen fan tasered by Phillies security after running onto field - Big League Stew - MLB Blog - Yahoo! Sports

Probably unnecessary use of force, but awesome nonetheless.

And in the least surprising piece of the story....

The Philadelphia Inquirer spoke to this young man's dad on Tuesday morning and reports that the kid actually called his father to ask for permission before running on the field. The dad told him it wasn't the best of ideas ? you think? ? but the future Penn State student went ahead and did it anyway. He's being charged as a juvenile for resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and defiant trespass.

This may be just the thing lagging MLB attendance needs. Every team should have a 'tase a Phillies fan' day. Maybe every Tuesday or something. Seriously.

No intentional vomiting? I'm disappointed.

I would agree that it was unnecessary use of force if the kid weren't such a douche.

FIFY

Phila is a shithole.

running across the field in a straight line and then jumping back into the stands is one thing, but staying on the field and running in circles avoiding security is extra obnoxious and unnecessary

Kid went down way too fast. WEAK.

Semantics.

Police spokesman Lt. Frank Vanore told The Philadelphia Inquirer police internal affairs will open an investigation to determine if the firing "was proper use of the equipment."

Hmm? Taser? tased him. Yep... right equipment.

Agreed. Just becomes a waste of everyone's time.

Tremendous - only in Philly do they stadium cops have to carry tasers.
Much like the jail built under old veterens stadium.

Got 10 minutes? Want to spend it laughing or distrubed?

Youtube search "Philadelphia Stadium Fight" and see what happens

"THE TASER"

This short segment of electrically charged copper wire became the last physical barrier in the on-field celebration of the matriculation of one of the dumbest Penn State students of all-time. Like the Berlin Wall, his collapse was symbollic of a changing of the times, and the rise to a new level of douchebaggery.

I would agree that it was unnecessary use of force if the kid weren't a future Penn State student.

fify redux

If we can tase Cubs fans you might be onto something.
