Man accused of vomiting on girl at Phillies game

[The Poet]

So, I hear they tasered some kid who ran on the field last night. Some think this was justified, some think it a total over-reaction. Me, I wonder if it's a hangover effect from THIS prior puke.

Doesn't really sound like it.

Normally fans running on fields are tackled by security, this time there just happened to be a cop out there too, and he brought the kid down with a taser after the kid eluded two security guards.

I don't think it's fallout, it just sounds like the cop got to the kid first. I personally don't see a problem with what the cop did.

You're probably right, and it probably was an over-reaction.
It does make running on the field look like a lot less attractive. It's a good thing the guys on the field aren't packing. It'd be awful if some idiot ran on the field, came at a player, and caught a hole in the forehead.
There's no substitute for sheer, unadulterated disrespect and overwhelming stupidity. Sometimes it causes a person to get tazered, sometimes it causes them to get dead. I'm not saying it's right, but sooner or later someone is going to get hurt, bad. I can't imagine how important it can be to run on the field and make a spectacle of one's self. It sure can't be worth getting tazered, I wouldn't think?

I'll agree with you on the kid being stupid and disrespectful. Although at 17, I think it's more naivety than anything else.

And now for the flip side.... how do the players, security and the cops know that this lunatic running on the field isn't packing heat or carrying a blade? That's why they took him down.
