Don't taze me, bro

I'm sure by now that everyone knows about 17-year old Steve Consalvi, the dope who got stung by a Philadelphia police officer's taser gun after he charged the field at Monday night's game between my beloved Phillies and the St. Louis Cardinals. Now there's talk about whether or not the kid should have gotten tased and talks between the Phillies and the PPD on whether or not taser guns should be used at Citizens Bank Park in the future.

Now I honestly believe that Steve Consalvi didn't mean any harm when he made that bonehead decision to run on the field (especially since he called his father before he did it whether or not it was a good idea). That being said, we also have to put the safety of the players and coaches on the field (Monica Seles and Tom Gamboa come to mind). Today, the taser gun has proven to be the key between fast maniacs and slow security. Should we try not to use them? Of course! Should we not use them? No, that's why we have them. And hopefully it keeps other idiots off the field (unlike last night, when another fan ran onto the field).

That being said, the tasing was pretty hysterical in my opinion:
