    You've been asked once already for your opinion on how to stop the kid, adn failed to answer.

    So I'll ask a second time - if you feel that you're neither a pussy, nor with the cop, what's your idea on how to solve his running onto the field?

    Derrr...previous posts. Are you really calling me a pussy? Do you want to begin a race to the bottom? I'll win that too.

    Trip him... should they have set out a trip wire and waited for him to cross hit? How exactly do you trip a guy running around like that? Position yourself in front of him and stick out your leg?

    The realistic options were tackling him, tasing him, waiting for him to surrender if he does so quickly (like the idiot at the NC game) or shooting him. You would have had a problem w/ the tackle, i'm sure, and you clearly have a problem w/ the tase.

    I want you to try to trip somebody running around like that. Seriously. Try it once. Try it and then come back and tell us if you didn't give up on passive bullshit and tackle the guy.

    Just saw on the news that today the kids Mother publicly apologized for his actions. Nice to see some responsibility being taken.

    You're senseless. I don't mean stupid, or dumb...nothing like that. I mean that, you've got no common sense.

    Because I expressed my opinion without resorting to name calling, stereotyping, and expressing a general lack of sensibility.

    I never said he wasn't a d-bag. I don't think what the kid did was "right" or sensible. We were debating whether the cop should have tased him.

    Okay; you've never tripped someone. I get it.

    Gotcha...in any case, seems like most members (me included) have concrete opinions that won't be changed by a truck-forum debate.:D Later.

    No no no... don't say that. You won, remember? You converted me. From now on, all threats of any kind that I encounter will be tripped, helped to their feet, and given a stern talking-to.
