Guests coming - tidy up a bit...

The two previous posts are completely trivial and do not reflect the normally-serious nature of this blog. Let's get back on track with the main points.

The blog Truth ... Not Tasers [LINK] has been maintaining a list of taser-associated deaths [LINK]. Last time I checked, they were up to 344+ (just the ones that are known). That's a very big number to attempt to deny any connection whatsoever.

Here is a chart showing these tragic incidents month-by-month. The black line is a six-month running average. I find the rather abrupt increase in 2003 to be quite interesting - that's the year that the X26 was introduced.
