That is something I would never do! I decided to write about this because the switch to digital will potentially be such a disaster [...] [...] I mention all of this is not to complain for the sake of complaining.

My new hero! A friend of mine turned me on to a group on Facebook "I Secretly Want To Punch Slow-Walking People In The Head" but a rabbit punch just isn't enough. I have several of the same pet-peeves: people that stand in doorways, people that stand to the left on escalators, and people the try to get on the elevator before letting others off. I think all of these would be good candidates for Tazer Man's brand of cosmic justice. I can't tell you how many times I have wanted to scream to SO many people, "NEWS FLASH! OTHER PEOPLE EXIST!" Thank you, Tazer Man, wherever you may be. Oh, man! My new hero!

I can’t tell you how many times I have wanted to scream to SO many people, “NEWS FLASH! OTHER PEOPLE EXIST!”

Thank you, Tazer Man, wherever you may be.

Her trademark could be "tagging" the perps by writing her logo on their foreheads in pepper-spray-induced rash. Anyway, I see TM as having a specially modified tazer (he is an electrical, after all) that exceeds normal commercial guns in terms of both capacity and application of current. "Putting the lethal in non-lethal" would be his other motto.

Fox Labs makes the good stuff. I hasten to add pepper spray particularly bear spray is far more reusable (up to 30 spontaneous “audits” of anti/asocial behavior) and likely more agonizing.
