Electric Wizard
it's my first day
I'll give you that, I timed it with a stopwatch and it was a full second. My previous estimate was based on the "one Mississippi...two Mississippi..." system.There was at least a full second between the time the bailiff told him to step back
For sure. I don't understand how these people can reconcile these beliefs with the fact that they live in houses built to codes, probably obey traffic laws, and pay sales tax.These "Free Men of the Land" idiots claim to be ruled only by common law, but they sure don't know how to practice common sense.
In general, I don't take issue with this guy getting tazed. Evidently it wasn't too bad because he was back spouting nonsense in a few seconds. I take issue with the use of tasers too freely by police in general. I think there's a dangerous conflation between non-lethal deterrents and less-lethal deterrents, and people that carry tasers need to always realize that its use has the potential of killing someone. With that in mind, I'm not convinced that there were absolutely no other options for the officers to deal with this tinfoil hat wearing gentleman, but he was certainly not helping the officers come to a different conclusion.
