RAPID CITY, South Dakota - A 27-year-old Rapid City man says he'll fight assault charges filed against him after security guards at Rapid City Regional Hospital shocked him with a stun gun.

Nicholas Breining went to the emergency department Tuesday, saying he wanted to be treated for a viral throat and sinus infection.

He was asked to leave after a nurse became irritated by the noise he was making in the waiting room.

Breining says he has Tourette (tuhr-EHT') Syndrome, which makes him drum or tap involuntarily.

He says security guards were called and that he was refused treatment and asked to leave. Breining says when he tried to leave, 1 of the guards stopped him -- and that pushing and shoving ensued.

When Breining refused to let the guards handcuff him, he took a swing -- and was then stunned with a Taser.

Police say the hospital guards probably used good judgment in the incident.

Conformity

By: Great Hierophant

That's what it's about! The man didn't act the "acceptable" way (a glad handing obedient docile sheeple) so the military arm of the hospital opened up a "can of whoop ass" to "get his mind right". That's how they do it in extreme hyper macho authoritarian systems!

Everyone must goose-step, even the lame or those with Tourette Syndrome or other diseases. Fall out of line and you get tasered!

Kinda reminds you of how the Nazis did it. They made prisoners march in straight lines and if someone fell down for any reason, they got a bullet in their head. But in these modern times, you don't get a bullet but a taser, which we're all learning, is deadly, too!

QUOTE OF THE DAY

"Out of this modern civilization economic royalists carved new dynasties. New kingdoms were built upon concentration of control over material things. Through new uses of corporations, banks and securities, new machinery of industry and agriculture, of labor and capital - all undreamed of by the Fathers - the whole structure of modern life was impressed into this royal service." Franklin Delano Roosevelt speech in Philadelphia on June 27, 1936

"Sarah, if the American people had ever known the truth about what we Bushes have done to this nation, we would be chased down in the streets and lynched." George Bush Senior speaking in an interview with Sarah McClendon in December 1992

"These are the men who, without virtue, labour, or hazard, are growing rich, as their country is impoverished; they rejoice, when obstinacy or ambition adds another year to slaughter and devastation; and laugh, from their desks, at bravery and science, while they are adding figure to figure, and cipher to cipher, hoping for a new contract from a new armament, and computing the profits of a siege or tempest." Samuel Johnson
