07.01.09 REPORTERS SHOULD GET TO CARRY TASERS

Poor reporters.  They have to go out into the world and talk to people, then they have to turn around and write something about what they learned or talk into the camera about the information they dug up, only to have jackasses sitting on their couches (namely, me) make fun of them for doing their jobs.  And how often do they get accosted by drunks?  If you’re a reporter in Las Vegas like Steve Ryan, I would guess about every day.

Which is why reporters should be allowed to carry tasers.  Partly because they deserve to do their job in peace, partly because no one wants to see a little girly slap like in this video, but mostly because people getting tased on television is AWESOME.  And can you imagine seeing it live?  I would tune into the local news at 6:00 AND 11:00 every night if I were guaranteed live tasings.  That, my friends, is Action News.
