O’Reilly pretty much tried to blame the airline, and all airlines, for the egregious delay. Not so sure that excuses this guy throwing stuff around an airport.

Tazing is unlikely to kill anyone. People do it for fun.

Here’s what I understand happened. He was held up in customs for 8 hours, after a very long flight (probably close to 12 hours). He didn’t speak any English and by time customs finally let him through, his mother who had come to meet him had left the airport so he had no idea what to do and was unable to communicate with anyone. He was probably exhausted and freaking out. This should never have happened.

Couldn’t communicate because of an apparent language barrier ? —
Those Canucks would be a big hit down here on the Arizona/Mexico border.

There’s no excuse for this guy throwing shit around in an airport. And he’s got no one to blame if he was’t prepared to phone the old lady. What if she had died or crashed her car or couldn’t get to the airport for some reason? Wasn’t he prepared to deal with the obvious potential situation of being there alone?

I’m sorry Dean, but there is no way to justify how long they tazed this person for. They obviously could have maintained control when they were on top of him, but they continued to taze him despite. There are plenty ‘what if’ scenario’s, and to use a what if scenario to justify something like this, I don’t think we should do.

Logan, you are full of shit my friend. He wasn’t tased very long at all and that is a fact. The cops would have never touched him while the current was still being applied or they’d have been lit up as well.

How much do you not know about tasers?

One shot, apparently he’s never pissed on a third rail. Four police should have been able to take him down and get him cuffed. Doesn’t speak well for Vancouver. Sure glad I was banned from Canada.

Raise shit at an airport… Expect this… No one, especially cops, want to fuck around with belligerent people anymore… Fall in line or fall on the ground…
