bush_cheney2004 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 I've come to consider them as being canaries - indicators of our society's humaneness and capacity for compassion. Nah....we've always had crazy people on the loose...it was just part of the deal. Now people want everything "humanely" tidied up with "treatment" faciliities and/or drugs. I think it all started with leash laws for dogs.....that was just another part of life's risk too. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

We have more and more broken people walking about - now with globalization and the UN agenda of internal displacement of founding populations through rampant and aggressive immigration...you will see more and more in the herd that are crazed and then supposedly subdued and drugged by the state. No human being becomes crazed on their own. Evil or insanity does not come from with in..it comes from the environ into the human being. No person commits self murder - commonly called suicide on their own - all are driven to it. Even with in the crimminal code of Canada there is a section entitled "Killing with the mind" - if you can do it though conscious or unconscious manipulation it is legal...I would say as far as Ms. Smiths death is concerend - she was murdered and the guards and administrators internally know that also.

Progressive Tory Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 Back to Tazering. My son just sent me this and I laughed so hard my stomach hurts. It's a little long but very funny. So if you're thinking of buying one... A Gift for my Wife Pocket Taser Stun Gun, a great gift for the wife. A guy who purchased his lovely wife a pocket Taser for their anniversary submitted this: Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife Julie. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized taser. The effects of the taser were supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety....?? WAY TOO COOL! Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home. I loaded two AAA batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button. Nothing! I was disappointed. I learned, however, that if I pushed the button AND pressed it against a metal surface at the same time; I'd get the blue arc of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs. AWESOME!!! Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Julie what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave. Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two triple-A batteries, right? There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently (trusting little soul) while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood moving target. I must admit I thought about zapping Gracie (for a fraction of a second) and thought better of it. She is such a sweet cat. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised. Am I wrong? So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, and taser in another. The directions said that a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant; a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; a three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water. Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries. All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5' long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference; pretty cute really and (loaded with two itsy, bitsy triple-A batteries) thinking to myself, 'no possible way!' What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best...? I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head cocked to one side as to say, 'don't do it dipshit,' reasoning that a one second burst from such a tiny little ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad. I decided to give myself a one second burst just for heck of it. I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and . . . HOLY MOTHER OF GOD . . . WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION . . . WHAT THE HELL!!! I'm pretty sure Jessie Ventura ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner, then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in he oddest position, and tingling in my legs? The cat was making meowing sounds I had never heard before, clinging to a picture frame hanging above the fireplace, obviously in an attempt to avoid getting slammed by my body flopping all over the living room. Note: If you ever feel compelled to 'mug' yourself with a taser, one note of caution: there is no such thing as a one second burst when you zap yourself! You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor. A three second burst would be considered conservative? SON-OF-A-BITCH, THAT HURT LIKE HELL!!! A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape. My bent reading glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace. The recliner was upside down and about 8 feet or so from where it originally was. My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching. My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs. I had no control over the drooling. Apparrently I shit myself, but was too numb to know for sure and my sence of smell was gone. I saw a faint smoke cloud above my head which I believe was came from my hair. I'm still looking for my nuts and I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return!! P. S. My wife loved the gift, and now regularly threatens me with it!

Oleg Bach Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Posted March 17, 2009 Welcome to 2006. Welcome to 1006 - Iron maiden - hot pokers...the rack - awh the rack...you will say anything when your hip, knee and sholder ball joint is seperated from the socket...once you are bored with torturing - you can find youself the a local peasant girl who has suffered mental anguish and is deeply in love with harming herself - put her in a cell and hand her a rope - pull up some chairs and watch her ring her neck as you amuse yourself watching someone murder themselves - very interesting - another mug of meed...please - look...she's dead ---- cool.... What a sick bunch of disconnected f*******s. Quote
Progressive Tory Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 What a sick bunch of disconnected f*******s. It was just a joke. I thought it was funny, since we know whoever wrote it, really didn't do that. I don't like the use of Tazers and the police should abolish the practice, however, I still think the imagined scenario was funny, and in a way was a protest by drawing attention to the fact that they are not just a little tickle, but can do serious harm. The poor man lost his you know whats. Quote "For all our modesty and self-deprecation, we’re a people who dream great dreams.

It was funny - sorry...I just jumped back in time to the origin of the thread - to the poor young woman who killed herself> I was not talking about your story...It was an okay read - just wish he would have zapped the cat...

Also: People do not realize that with our high tech tazers they are can be used as a portable electric chair...actually they are more reliable than the big tazer chair of old - You have direct control over heart stoppage...just zap till the person stops moving..one jolt or three - In the privacey of a dark alley - there are no controls or over seeing eye..It's a sadistic little impliment.

Sorry. Maybe I need a little zap of tazer. And about the cat - me too. But you're absolutely right. They need to be abolished.

(tazers, not cats) Tazers are electo animal prods. We are not animals. Even the lowest human being on the totem pole is NOT an animal - Those who enjoy the idea of electrocuting a human being are those who view us as less than dogs...they should be abolished .....The GUN is enough - if a person who is a danger to others and is about to kill another - then he forfiets his life by the bullet..that's fair..but tazering is plain toying about and is sadistic..our cops know who to shoot and who not to shoot. They did not want this Polish guy dead---If here was no tazer he would be alive - doubtful if they would have shot him for having a tantrum. Quote
