Creepy New Verb Enters English

Don’t Tase My Relatives, pleads Expert

 

On Monday, May 5, 2008, on the first day of the Braidwood Inquiry into the use of tasers in British Columbia, J. Patrick Reilly, a researcher and electrical engineer at Johns Hopkins University, stated the scientific facts (not the cop myths) about the stun gun’s injuring effects on the fragile human heart and body and how anyone tasered could die after being shocked.

While Reilly said the probability of death is small, he would never want to be jolted by the device. "I wouldn't want to be tased myself and I wouldn't want a family member to be tased," he testified.

Note the emergence of a grisly new verb in the fatality family of words, “to be tased.” Taser was first a noun, then a verb. But I think the shorter verb form is more apt. "Tase" has the more prolonged sound of fizzling crackling human flesh accompanied by the sickening electric zap and, over the taser victim's scream of agony, the soft underlaugh of a smirking cop who has subdued yet another human being in his long cop-bully's life of humiliating others and making them crawl on their bellies like lowly reptiles.

Want to stop the taser? Write your federal MP and tell him to have the government of Canada outlaw tasers NOW.

Don't let Canada's lazy cops, RCMP goons and rich gun companies win. Don't let these cowards turn Canada into the gun-crazy nightmare of the USA!

And that is now happening right before your eyes. The Stephen Harper government of Canada seems to want teachers packing revolvers in Grade 5. Maybe Steve could have Charlton Heston brought back to life as Federal Security Inspector of Canadian Schools? Is that your Canada?

Get rid of tasers and the Conservative dinosaurs and liars who promote their use.

Canada does NOT need tasers.
