Seriously. Don't taze me. I've been huffing.

An impressive arrest history as well! He finally managed to get arrested in a newsworthy manner though, which is a great accomplishment in itself.
-
His mugshot is newsworthy all by itself...
-
that guy looks freakin' crazy.
-
He had an epically bad day. Doesn't it make sense that he should get an epically bad mug to match?
-
I'm pretty sure that is one of his previous mugs (he's had plenty of them). There's no charring on this one...
-
Oh, I thought that it sounded like torso burns only.
-
Who wants to bet me that this intelligence-deficient gentleman sues for a boatload of money?
-
I dunno, it doesn't sound like he can afford a lawyer.

I wouldn't take you on that bet C.M. Some lawyer is probably salivating over it already. And it doesn't matter if you can't afford a lawyer; there are plenty of Plaintiff's attorneys who work on commission. They won't charge you a cent unless you recover, but then they can be compensated for 25% (or a lot higher percentage dending on the state) of the damage award. They'll probably sue the taser manufacturor as well.
Of course, I'm not so sure how successful Mr. Idiot would be. He did run from the police and then try to kick and bite the cops tackling him.

Exactly. Of course they may be able to buy him off with a lifetime supply of spray paint.... Wow thats sad.
-
You know, the world might be a better place if plaintiff's attorneys were paid their percentage in spray paint...
-
That uptight, are they?
Or are you suggesting a more "applied" payment?
-
Plaintiff's lawyer = leach. Applied payment would therefore be approved.
Seriously though, they are a necessary evil, but an evil nonetheless.

I take it that means you're a defense attorney?
I always considered that as a profession, but i assumed i would suck at it, so i didn't go that route.
-
I'm of the opinion that the best defense has a good offense. /lawpun
-
Actually I'm a neutral attorney. I work for the court. Both sides, plaintiff and defense are necessary, and I've seen cases where the defendant's attorney is unconscionable as well, so I guess I spoke too quickly. Who else is going to stick up for the little guy?
But this little guy?
-
Yeah, that could be difficult...
