    Good thing he wasn't playing around with the shotgun again.

    I found this part interesting...
    I can't believe that they needed an "elite team trained to deal with emotionally disturbed people" to come up with the idea of tasering and handcuffing him.

    Exactly. You'd at least expect a little tear gas with that level of training. Instead it turns into an episode of "Cops."

    Am I the only one who wouldn't exactly mind it if the suicide watchers looked the other way?

    What a train wreck.

    This whole thing makes me so sad. I used to know Jayson pretty well. He was the life of the party, but was an alcoholic and had a lot of issues just bubbling under the surface. He was always really nice to me, though.

    How he managed to avoid get convicted, I still don't understand. This suicide thing upsets me. I hope he learns how to deal with demons before he hurts someone else.

    As for why they might have tased him -- he's 6'10" and probably weighs close to 275. I can see why they got out the taser.

    Didn't the story list him at 325?

    I suppose he's had quite a lot of beer since I saw him last.
