Gas Huffer's Face in Flames From Taser to the Face
A recent incident in Australia has provided a new and incredibly speedy way of incapacitating sniffers who enjoy the intoxicating aroma of inhalants. On Monday, police were called to the Warburton house of 36-year-old Ronald Mitchell, who, according to the Daily Telegraph, had apparently been sniffing gasoline.Mitchell allegedly rushed the officers, who were armed with Tasers, and ignored repeated warnings to stop. An officer then deployed his stun gun, striking Mitchell directly on the nose, causing the perp's head to burst into flames. (If you've been holding highly flammable substances to your face, don't confront policemen equipped with ignition devices.) The acting officer rushed to Mitchell's aid and helped extinguish the fire, which had caused third degree burns to 10-percent of the huffer's body.
In a separate Australian stun gun incident, Stuff New Zealand reports that police in Melbourne recently discovered a taser disguised as a cell phone on an inebriated youth. Police confiscated the Immobiliser, which is illegal in Australia and several states, including New York and Illinois. The device may eventually become the single greatest contributor to the Darwin awards, as oblivious people everywhere will certainly begin shocking themselves in the face. It should also help to eliminate meth heads and their highly flammable labs, as well as hopped-up huffers with incendiary heads. [From: The Daily Telegraph and Stuff New Zealand, via Textually]
