“A man was engulfed in flames after a police taser hit him on the bridge of his nose while they were investigating claims of petrol sniffing”

Setting your suspects on fire instead of questioning them is so fucking metal.

Is being ignorant of the fact that this man is black, and that indigenous Australian communities are often decimated by petrol sniffing since locals can’t afford to abuse alcohol or other drugs, fucking metal as well?  Please advise.

(benjaminpalmer:mikehudack)

I’m not sure what his being black has to do with it.  Clearly this was a very sad event that never should have happened.  Personally I’m not a big fan of tasers, people sniffing petrol, or people being set on fire after sniffing petrol and being hit by a taser.

Sometimes, though, you have to find the humor in horrible situations.  Otherwise you just let the sadness overtake you.  How metal is that?

Finding humor in tragedy as a defense mechanism against the reality that is the human condition is so fucking metal.

About

I do lots of things. I'm kind of weird that way.

First and foremost, I'm the Director of Content Partnerships at Blip, where you can discover the best in original web series.

Before that, I ran a consulting company focused on entertainment and government entities called Spytap Industries. In a previous life I helped create United Talent Agency's online division - the first major agency division devoted to representing and monetizing online content.

I also contribute to Here's Some Awesome, a collaborative video curation site that showcases the awesome in online video.

From time to time I write essays on topics of interest from politics, to the future of mass media, to the effects that online content and piracy are having on traditional media. They normally go here. (Latest example: "On Bullying")

This is my personal blog, So while it probably doesn't need to be said, all of the opinions here are solely my own or those of the people I reblog.
