Mission Statement - De-Spinning the Pro-Taser Propaganda

Yeah right, 'Excited Delirium' my ass...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The primary purpose of this blog is to provide an outlet for my observations and analysis about tasers, taser "associated" deaths, and the behaviour exhibited by the management, employees and minions of Taser International. In general, everything is linked back to external sources, often via previous posts on the same topic, so that readers can fact-check to their heart's content. This blog was started in late-2007 when Canadians were enraged by the taser death of Robert Dziekanski and four others in a short three month period. The cocky attitude exhibited by the Taser International spokespuppet, and his preposterous proposal that Mr. Dziekanski coincidentally died of "excited delirium" at the time of his taser-death, led me to choose the blog name I did and provides my motivation. I have zero financial ties to this issue.

Weird blog hit of the Day: "most painful torture methods in canada"

Ottawa, Ontario (our nation's Capital) arrived from google.ca on "www.Excited-Delirium.com: Criminal Code of Canada - on 'torture' (analysis)" by searching for most painful torture methods in canada. -- 18 hours ago

In an ideal world, the search for the "most painful torture methods in canada" would lead to webpages about taxation.

But Google is probably correct.

Tasers are most often used in a manner that exactly matches the legal definition of torture. See the right column where it's all explained in exquisite detail with reference to the Criminal Code of Canada, s.269.

Tasers are torture.

Legally, they're completely indistinguishable from the glowing end of a lit cigarette used to torture. Completely indistinguishable.

Torture, dressed up as "high tech".
