Mounties Electrocute Airline Passenger

You chose the inflamatory word "electrocute". Do you know this for a fact?
We know the suspect was tazored but that is not the same as "electrocute".
If it were, the state would just tazor its inmates on death row. Look at
all the money we could save on electric chairs.

You are correct. I misused the word. I'm guilty of yellow journalism
at this point in time, but it's not over yet.


Thank you for doing us the courtesy of answering civilly. I suppose if yellow
journalism is the worst you ever do, it's not such an awful world after all.

I Don't blame the guy that guy for going mad! US Customs or Department Of

me get another flight if they detained me to long and missed my flight,
after I missed my flight almost 2 hours isolated I knew it was going to be a
long day answering dumb questions. Asked for some water after two and a half
hours of sitting I belive the customs agent tried to gave me toilet water.

Sounds like you need a lawyer.

That would just yield an expensive cup of toilet water.

I hear toilet water is a great cure for the hiccups.

Pretty simple.

Don't throw sh*t at the airport... stay alive.


Why yes, that's very simple indeed. If I'm doing the math right, the
corollary is : "Throw something at the airport = Death Penalty. . ." Nice
to have things simple.

You have the formula wrong.

I really don't get the part about re-routing international arrivals!
Can't make up my mind whether they're worried about the taser-happy
Mountie, bouyed by his success, going after further international
arrivals passengers . . .

Or is it theat they felt the unruly passenger may be part of a
conspiracy,and his co-conspirators may be arrioving on following flights,
and before you know it hundreds of airport chairs would be hurtling
across Canada causing untold damage and increasing broken glass insurance
rates . . .

Is airline passenger abuse on the rise as a result of passenger
reaction to airline delays?



Tazers have actually been proven to REDUCE injury rates overall, both in
suspects AND in officers.. TREMENDOUSLY reduce them, and associated
workers comp claims.



I am confident that competent experts and due process will determine whether
excessive or inappropriate force was used to subdue the gentleman (do I sound
confident?)

The guy certainly had a problem, and would appear to be an excellent candidate
for denial of entry to the country, if such was his intention. After all, if he
cannot even get out of the arrivals lounge before the fixtures start flying,
then this is an exemplary opportunity to nip one in the bud!

On the other hand - he may have suffered abuse as a child. Perhaps, in his
youth, he was forced to take repeated flights on Iberia Airlines. Now, years
later, every time he flies the rage resurfaces from that psychological
mistreatment buried deep within. In this case we have no choice but to view him
as a perpetrator and victim . . .

Perfect then - with such a wealth of detail I can only be reassured! ;-)
