Man Allegedly Zaps Wife's Grandmother

[Nanny Pam]

MYOB, Granny!

I never know what to think about stories like this.

Granny needed to mind her own business and leave when told. I have no sympathy for her.

Never in my most remote thinking would I ever strike an elder (and you guys know what I mean), let alone TAZ an elder. This young man(?) is pathetic.
He could have dealt with it differently.

Yes, he could have grabbed her by the seat of her pants and tossed her out the door.

Daddy was only trying to make sure his child knew to stay away from the electric wires.
Teaching kids right from wrong is hard enough, without Granny sticking her nose into it.

Now let's break it down:

Guy has an unwanted visitor in his home. He asks them to leave. They refuse. He calls the police, who apparently do nothing. He tasers the intruder. He gets arrested for domestic assault.

Hmmmm.....

I hate Tazers. Especially when they are used on people that are elderly and mentally challenged.

I can't believe the cops didn't make her leave.

Okay, hispanic brown haired male here having a blonde moment. Where does it say the cops came before he tazed her. I haven't had my coffee yet.

Can I come at this from a different perspective, as one that has spent a great deal of time with people over 70?

Older folks say what they want to say. Deal with it.
They have a different view than someone under 30. Deal with it.
They have a different sense of humor. Deal with it.

She said what she thought. All he needed to do was say what he thought. Done. Agree to disagree.

Tasers are not to be used on non violent persons. I did not read where she was violent. They disagreed. Period. Big flipping whoop.

I would bet the police did not escort her off the premises because she was non-violent and not a threat. I would also bet they thought the man was an idiot.

Just my two cents.

That's 68% of the population.

 

[flomaster]

I say taze anyone who needs a good shock in their life. Tell you what, my brother and I played with a dog shock collar once and played with the settings. It will ring your bell pretty hard. Can't imagine what a tazer fels like.

Swatting an ass of a child for playing with wires isn't abusing the child. If it was his home, Granny needed to beat feet, rather she liked it or not.

Idiot or not it was HIS place and she should have left when the request for her to leave was made.

All he had to say is "My house, my child. If you don't like it you're welcome to leave it."

How do you know this wasn't already said. He was dealing with and OLD WOMAN!

The article did not state whether she was able to leave the home on her own. I have several 70+ relatives that no longer drive.

It also says nothing of her mental state, health, or any other contributing factors to either her statement or refusal to leave.

There is nothing in the article to state her tone of voice or exact words used when she made her statement. My aunt comes off the cuff with that kind of stuff all the time and she's normally just ribbing the person she's talking to.

Of course you see the media found a the most cookie, pie making sweet grannie picture they could find!!!

WE are only assuming on both sides. The full story isn't in print I'm sure. I'm still siding with the guy though. His house and child. Can't say it's not her business because the kid is family.

Yea, but he still shouldn't have sparked granny.......

 

[vraiblonde]

So where was this guy's wife when all this was going on? I mean, it's her grandmother - you'd think she'd have intervened in some form.

I don't like stories like this, that raise more questions than they answer.
