Canadian Cops Tase Knife-Wielding 82-Year-Old Patient in his Hospital Bed
The cops in Canada seem to be getting the hang of the Taser business. Mounties summoned to a British Columbia hospital tased an octogenarian patient after he pulled a knife from his pocket. Eighty-two-year-old Frank Lasser, who was suffering from pneumonia and had been admitted to Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, claimed that sometimes he got delusional when he got short of breath. Did that, however, make it right for the police to tase him, bro? More »

Runt Stun Gun Looks Like Pager, Stings Like Taser
Worried about getting jumped by weirdoes? The 3.25" Runt might be the best stun gun for the money. At least, it sounds pretty cheap: $40 will get you 350,000 volts of juice from this plug-in-the-wall pager lookalike; $10 more gets you 650,000 volts, and $20 gets you a 950,000- volt model. (For a vague idea of what the 950,000-volt model will do to you, have a look at the idiot kids in the video after the jump.) More »

Cop Tases Pregnant Woman for Trying to Leave Police Station
As tasers turn into must-have gadgets for self-defense and police officers alike, dubious tasings have apparently also gone epidemic, making taser-proof clothing a must for any activist's, driver's or breathing human's Christmas list. Today's exhibit: A woman walks into a police station, wants to give up her one-year-old, then tries to leave. Guess what happens? To be fair though, if she was more cooperative, she probably wouldn't have gotten toasted. [Liveleak]

TASER-Proof Gear is Great for Students, Political Activists, Criminals
This patent for an "energy weapon protection device" is the perfect accessory for your next anti-war march. It also might be a good idea to just have one handy for other occasions, too, as you never know when the 5-0 might get a little TASER-happy on you for failing to fully stop at a stop sign or something. These are strange days we live in, my friends. [Patent via Danger Room]

I found the skull-poundingly monotonous drum beat combined with a complete lack of voiceover and "oh my, you're dumb, home viewer" finger-pointing a teensy bit annoying. But! It's super easy to follow and it looks simple enough to build your own ghetto stun gun, so much so that I might whip my own up to put my four-year-old cousin in place when she's bothering me by acting like a small child.

Shiny Shiny Gets Hands-on With the Shocking Taser Guns
The lasses over at Shiny Shiny took the shocking taser gun and brought them out for a little fun—at each other's expense. Not to spoil the fun, but Zara and Katie throw out their usually composed British demeanors and zap out all their latent workplace aggression in the span of 30 seconds. Susi from Shiny Shiny says this is their best video ever, which we'd definitely agree with if Susi herself had been in it and it were a three-way shockfest. [Shiny Shiny via I Want One of Those]

This stun gun, dubbed the small fry, could easily pass for a wallet in a dark alley. I'd imagine it could be used in a mugging where instead of handing over your wallet, you hand over 1,000,000 volts.

Pink Taser Looks, Stuns Like a Toy
It's unfortunate that this pink seal Taser isn't an actual Taser and only gives people a slight zap. Why's that? Because it would be quite funny to see a mugger be taken down with a cellphone strap that's shaped like a pink seal when trying to steal some lady's bag. On second thought, instead of a pink seal, it may be even funnier to have one shaped like the recording artist Seal. That'd show them. More »
