1. creating a potentially dangerous situation 2. interrupting a game (a huge no no no matter what) 3. is possibly in the act of breaking a law If someone did that at a game I was at, I would hope that they would take care of the situation as fast as possible. I do, however, prefer that they not use tasers unless they can't avoid it. |

running onto the field is a longstanding philly tradition, certainly nothing to get one's boxers in a bunch about. they get chased, arrested, and brag to their grandkids about it for the next 50 years. it's what true fans do.
 ahhh youth...

well... nakedness may be the reason for never tasering these women!! ok...so i am gonna get serious about this... i wonder how many new yorkers/oklahoma city peeps get nervous at a public event when a person starts to act out?? i mean they just found a bomb in times square. i am personally under the suspicion when i leave my space where ever i may be with whoever i may be with that it is a possibility some freak is gonna come and rain on our parade/sporting event/charity function. i allow myself to be ready for this  i think if a venue decides to use a taser to enforce behavior then the fans should be told so...maybe some funny examples on the "big tron"

I like your idea about promoting the knowledge that tasering would be an acceptable form of restraint and discipline for those who choose to do something like this. Truth in humor and using humor to make the message more palatable 'n all. |

I am not sure, but wasn't it an off duty cop with a surprise tazer that got the boy? I don't think a fan on the field is comparative to terrorism. Suspicious packages in the stadium are more scary. Also, I haven't been to any event sports, music or otherwise since 9/11 that doesn't wand and hand search spectators. Anything can happen anywhere. I don't want to live my life in fear of what *might* happen. Just go ahead and kill me now rather than having me exist in fear. |

I guess it depends on the venue as far as searches and wanding. Who knew? I might not go to an event where there weren't heightened security precautions. What team are the puppies? |

Not sure anyone has brought this up yet, but...
Tom Gamboa. The name probably doesn't ring a bell with anyone except a hardcore baseball freak like me. He is best known as the first base coach the Kansas City Royals in 2002 who was attacked by two fans who came charging out of the stands during the game in Chicago. Gamboa was seriously injured in the incident. Today, Sporting News Online interviewed Gamboa, asking him his thoughts on the tasered fan. I think it is worthy to include his thoughts.
What does Gamboa think about the fans running on the field in Philadelphia? Gamboa: I'm on a golf vacation and didn't know anything about this. I hadn't seen TV or heard radio until at the golf course today, a sports radio guy came up and he filled me in on what happened. And then only just prior to your show did your producer tell me what happened tonight, and I just cringed when I heard that because that is so reminiscent of my situation, when I was in Chicago in '02. The next time we went to Chicago in April of '03, there were tons of security people, and I said to the security director, "What is all this for?" And they said, "Well, because your team is back in town, and the last time you were here, the incident occurred." And I laughed and said, "Gee, did they really think lightning was going to strike twice?" And there were actually three incidents in one game of people copycatting, and the third one was where the guy tried to tackle the first base umpire. So it's a shame, I just wish the fans would understand their only place is in the stands, and never any reason on the field of play to take away from the enjoyment of what everyone is there for, which is the competition on the field. But it just seems like we're in a society where people are looking for any kind of what they think is fame or infamy at any cost. And once somebody does it, then you got people jumping on the bandwagon trying to be copycats. It's really a shame. What is Gamboa's opinion on harsher penalties for fans going on the field? Gamboa: Certainly, after my attack, Major League Baseball did a great job of really coming up. You look at every stadium now, they've got guys sitting back to back near the dugout, and down both lines, and the ushers between innings will come down right near the rail to act as a detriment for people to do this. But you're right, if there's 40 or 50,000 fans, they're always going to outnumber the ushers and the security people. So it's virtually impossible to keep 'em, and I wish I had an answer for it. But I agree with you wholeheartedly, the penalties are not stringent enough. My God, in my case the guy was given probation, and after violating it on four more occasions, the judge continued to give him probation because he said we had to understand this guy had an alcohol and a drug problem. I mean, it just seems to me like society makes excuses for people's behavior rather than the more stringent thing of holding people accountable for their actions. And maybe a stiffer first offense, some mandatory time – whether it's a week or 30 days, I don't have the answer – but some time incarcerated to deter other people from following suit. What did Gamboa take away from the 2002 incident, when he was attacked by a father and son on the field? Gamboa: My only question in court was, "Why me?" The thing that I got was, "We were on drugs when we got to the park, then we drank beer throughout the game, and then we made a decision to get attention so when we got on the field, you were the closest one to us and your back was turned, so you were an easy target."So, basically I was just at the right place doing my job at the wrong time with these two wackos. But having to coach third base with the Cubs prior to my tenure with the Royals, I can tell you, I loved going into Philadelphia. Like Chicago, they are die hard fans that support their team, and there's an electricity in the ballpark there. I would hate to see, like I said about Chicago, I would hate to see Philly get a bad rap because of a couple of stupid people doing a bad act, because it doesn't reflect to me, the city or the sports fans that they have. And I hope that gets across as this story goes around. *I have highlighted portions for emphasis. |

I really don't get why a cop should have to/get to carry his weapons with him when he's off duty. But then, I'm Canadian. We're not all about the running around carrying weapons up here.

So they actually attacked the man? That is horrid.
If the young man in this recent incident had seemed to be heading towards a person then yeah. Taze away.

Tried to bite tongue to no avail
Off duty again refers to a shift that is not their regular duty. example patrol officers not on patrol,or an overtime or extra assignment.
My opinion (and only mine) on the "child" 17 years of age that was handed over the keys to a vehicle to get to the game, maneuvered his way to the "once in a lifetime" experience, has a cellphone to call for the advice of his father and made the adult decision to ignore it, as well as the adult decision to ignore the rules that the other thousands of fans seem to be able to follow them. Yet lives by the NOT ME mentality of "Im just a kid having fun". Which is the same response of every one that had the drink at prom and killed some one, that got the girl pregnant after having sex once, that killed their best friend while texting in a vehicle. Yes I am a hard ass. Realize I sit behind the phone and receive the calls daily from the mothers of these so called "children" who ignore their advice the same way this kid just wanting to have fun does. Only wanting to stay out an hour later or get the cellphones taken away get mad runaway for what they thought was a night come home raped and beaten up. Tase them now tase them twice It may just save them from a worse outcome later on. |
