Speaking of Tasers

Last night my uncle robbed a pharmacy at gunpoint in Edmond, Oklahoma. My uncle is a 50-year-old attorney, smart and handsome and incredibly successful. Right now, he is in jail. Amazingly, despite my family's very colorful history, this is the first time any of us has actually committed a premeditated crime, or a violent one. (My sister's family is another story.) At any rate, he led the cops on a chase and they Tased him, bro, in his driveway. I am certainly not up in arms over this, though I am sad and love my uncle very much. The only odd part is half the news accounts mentioned the Tasing, and the other half said the chase ended in a "peaceful" arrest, "without incident." Oklahoma's so totally Gordon Dillow, y'all.

Crazy and sad. My sympathies to you. I hope he gets the help he needs, and no prison time.

Burn him on a cross and cut his balls off. After all he is a lawyer.
