I'm sure the video of this assclown is all over the web, but I couldn't resist sharing this PRICELESS photo of the moron as he is about to get the business. CLASSIC!

Another case of police brutality. IMO, there is no need to taser a stupid kid who posts no threat to others, besides trespassing and running around the outfield during the game. If he carried a weapon, then I would agree with that tactic. It was a bad decision. Just my 2 cents.

It will be interesting to hear what the courts have to say.

I don't think the courts should say anything about this: 1) the idiot broke the law, 2) he interrupted the game and the enjoyment off it for millions of fans, 3) he was not permanently injured - he was subdued is all. Far too many courts, and people in general, coddle people when they do dumb shit. That is the major reason for decline in civility and respect for others today.

I disagree - the video clearly showed him running around the field dodging security personnel before he was tasered. It was obvious that he knew what he was doing was wrong. Not to mention the fact the he wasted the thousands of fans who attended the game's time pulling off this stunt.
As for him being a kid - the report stated he was 17, scheduled to attend college next fall, and actually called his DAD to let him know what he was about to do. The only damage done by the taser is the embarrassment he got.

That's why it will be interesting, John. "Should" and "inevitably will" are two very different constructs.

Agreed, I am sure you can tell the difference in civility when you travel as much as you do Calvin

It's not like he got beat with a bat or shot, he got subdued...just as if he would have gotten tackled. Getting tackled wouldn't have hurt any less.
Don't get your panties in a bunch....

Unfortunately, yes. Decorum is out the window. IMHO this is open and shut. Edit: Perhaps this is what is needed to make idiots think twice and stop this sort of BS.

Little shit got what he deserved, but as long as there are lawyers looking to be on TV, and parents wanting to cash in, these cases will go to court.
