Disgusting

I don't know what's more upsetting, the fact that the cops at the ballpark tasered that guy for running on the field or hearing people cheer it on. People (usually stupid drunk people) have been occasionally running onto professional playing fields for as long as I can remember. In the 70's when streaking was a fad, people sometimes ran on the field naked. Never, in the 40+ years I've been watching baseball has a player been injured or even threatened, nor have any spectators been hurt. The security guys chase the guy down- sometimes it takes a long time (although not as long as it takes them to catch a cat) and the crowd laughs- and eventually he's caught and arrested.

Is there some reason this is no longer sufficient? Because some terrorist wannabe failed to set off a bomb in Times Square we can shoot 50,000 volts into a teenager a couple of day later? All the guy did was run on a baseball field. He threatened no one. He hurt no one. He had no weapon of any kind and was running away. And tonight people were mimicking it in the crowd and it was shown of the scoreboard. Ha-ha. Very funny. Until they do it to you because they don't like what you're doing or maybe because they don't like the way you look. And then just hope you don't have any electrical irregularities in your heart or it might kill you.

On second thought, disgusting isn't strong enough. Horrifying is more like it.
