TAZE THE CHIMP, BRO'!

Chimp attacks woman. Owner stabs chimp and really, really annoys him. Chimp rampages 'hood. Police respond. Chimp charges police car. Tasers are back at HQ. Policeman righteously shoots and kills chimp.

Damn shame but I'm not gonna go all PETA about it. Still, I don't like that the police were missing a critical tool in their toolbox for this event.

Putting aside that wild animals tend to do wild things, the moral of the story is that Tasers are really good gadgets to have in the field, as opposed to standing by at some other location.

The missing fact is the Chimp is suffering from Lymes and that is a mofo . The owner should have had better security on the chimp during this time

Perhaps the taze had a dead battery and was on the charger

They need to taze Burris. Seems his mouth continues to get him into trouble. Maybe he suffers from lyme disease too. Looks to be a very short supply of honesty in Chicago politics. But he is one of their own so he gets a pass.

Do I hear "special election"?

Nah, can't trust the stupid voters to know who to pick. Come to think of it, they maybe right!!

How do we know who to pick? Seems to me none of them are trustworthy.

Let's have a draft on the Burris seat.

All eligible voters names get tossed in a hat. Winner gets dragged kicking and screaming into the job.

(Thank you Robert Heinlein, who also said that anyone who WANTS to be elected should be barred from running since they are obviously mentally unbalanced. I think he was joking...mostly).
