Wacko Arrested with PS2 in His Pants
June 3rd, 2011
This is a very bizarre story. Apparently, a man named Timothy Jones Sr. from Lincoln, Mo was walking in traffic. I would hazard a guess that he was on something that affected his cognitive abilities at the time. Not only do normal folk generally not walk in traffic, they also tend to store their PS2 at home – not in their pants.
The police asked the man to come out of the road he pulled up his shirt to reveal the console. The man then tossed the PS2 at the officers and ran for it. One of the officers was hit with the console and had a minor hand injury from it.
The police chased the guy and when he was cornered, Jones picked up a potted plant and a gutter spout to use as weapons and tossed two metal chairs and when he went to pick up a third chair the police had enough. The police tased the man and used pepper spray. I wonder what order that happened in, pepper spray and then tase, or tase and then pepper spray while the guy was twitching.
Perhaps the guy was just really high and thought he was playing Grand Theft Auto, and the graphics were just really freaking awesome.

why are there so many police-actions posted on this blog recently (apple-guy, facebook-guy, …)? isn´t there enough cool stuff to be posted – the stuff why i visit this place regularly?
also i don´t appreciate the practice of making the real name public. as if everyone has to know the name of those people – especially in this case: the name of an allegedly menally-ill person(oh no! crazy things can be done by mentally-ill people, too?! but where can we place propaganda against mind-altering substances?) has to be public, but the real criminals (those who wear uniforms) who excess their power and both tase and pepperspray the guy aren´t named.
if i want biased opinions and/or propaganda and/or bad journalism i prefer going to random political party meetings or read a newspaper.
not cool – also validated by the few retweets and “i likes”.
please stick to your core-task -> posting geeky/technical stuff
Thanks for the feedback. Duly noted.
