Cannibal Killer Tasered to death

[mistermack]

A man known as Fifi was tasered in Wales yesterday, just for killing and partly eating a young girl.
The man died shortly after being tasered.

"It's not something we get every day" said a local man.


Fifi the cannibal.

Police burst into Fifi's room to apparently find him eating one of the girl's eyeballs. It's not clear if she was dead at that point. They shot him with a taser, and he then died as he was being arrested.

It's not clear if the dead girl died of her horrific facial injuries, or was killed before that, or died due to the taser.

Fifi was apparently high on cocaine at the time.

Prolly tazering him as they read him his rights.
"...You have the right to convulse. You have the right to gurgle. You have the right to glow in the dark and make fizzing noises. You have...."

Obviously another police exocution...but in this case, meh.
Fucking nutter.

Agreed.

The problem I have with it is that they are telling us that the taser is non lethal. They are using it on innocent people too. And even on elderly blind people, in one case.

This time, the man was an asshole in the extreme. But, he was in his early thirties, fairly fit-looking, and it killed him.

If it killed him, it could easily kill me.

Maybe he was feeling like throwing up and chocked on something after the Tasering?

I think the preferred term these days is "less lethal"?

Anyway, a feather duster can be lethal, I imagine. And guns can be non-lethal.
It all depends on the manner in which they're used. Apply too much of either in the wrong place and you're going to kill someone.

Maybe. But personally, if the police came after me, I'd be happier if they were armed with feather dusters.
You don't read of many feather duster accidental deaths.

In the news, it said he became "unresponsive".

I doubt I would feel like chatting either, if someone had just shot a gazillion volts through me.

Tasers can kill, but rarely do.

If a cop was after me, I would much prefer he was armed with a taser, when the alternative is a hand gun. When you consider how many people have been non lethally tasered, instead of lethally treated with a high velocity lead pill, you have to agree that tasers are life savers.

Fair point. But I would have to respond that if someone were intent (key word there) then I'd rather they did it with a gun, thanks.

It's actually positional asphyxiation (that's technical speak for being crushed by a pile of fat, sweaty coppers) that kills most people in police custody or during arrest as a result of over application of force/restraint. No weapons or restraints (mechanical or chemical) needed.
The whole point is kind of moot anyway. It's not like anyone's going to be disciplined even if they did kill him deliberately and the woman accidentally.

Tazers are as lethal as the persons wielding them want them to be. Or more. It just takes longer than a gun.
Also, there's a higher risk that such weapons will be abused by authorities. This has been demonstrated many times.
And what if you were a victim having your face eaten by a lunatic?
Would you rather they just shot him through the head or would you prefer they tazered him, inadvertently electrocuting you to death?

I find the whole subject rather shocking, to be honest...

[tattuchu]

If you're going to go to all the trouble to kill and eat someone, surely there are more appetizing body parts than the eyeball?

[piscator]

Maybe they choked him out before they tased him? We all know how aggressive Taffs can be...

Making stupid comments is a crime. If you don't stop immediately you'll be charged.

I shall try to resist the temptation, although currently that is quite difficult.
