Too many buzzkills

That's how Darren characterizes a part of the population of Halifax. Would you agree?

As expected, the Taser issue was front and centre today. I agree with Rodenhiser 100% when he says the mental state of the patient must be taken into account, along with whether or not the disturbed person is on drugs on not. It seems like a good number of the taser-related deaths happen when the person is schizophrenic. I mean, there were 30 hours in between when the Howard Hyde was tasered until the time he died. There is still the issue of whether he was tasered in the Burnside jail. It seems like police were justified in using the taser inside of police headquarters, at least. It's a sad story. What are the odds of something getting tasered on two different occasions in their life?

This has been a long and busy week! The Rodenhiser is no stranger to long, busy and strange weeks being thrust into the media limelight himself. He did Entertainment Tonight, appeared on Perez Hilton's website and said he did an interview with the BBC! It was the absolutely strangest thing and my Facebook group has over 118 members now! David Rodenhiser did nothing wrong - check it out!

Wasn't it fun listening to Rick and Michael Harris spar today? I'd love to hear them do a point-counterpoint on time, wouldn't you?

It's going to be incredibly cold tomorrow!!! A high of minus 2...the temperature has completely dropped, I just stepped out and the glorious warmth of this morning is over.

Enjoy your weekend...I really need to re-charge for another week of the Hotline!

Cheers,

Amber

Hi there Amber

Yeah the show was good today....I never heard Cecilia Clarke, so i don't know if you got him on or not....i may have missed him....Oh well, no loss. Anything that comes out of his yap is usually not to be believed..

As far as the Tasers go i wonder what happened to using dogs or pepper spray or just brute force that the mounties are trained in...the use of Tasers is over trusted....next thing they will be using them for crowd control situations..Like keeping the Raging Grannies in line for protesting the government and their handling of the environment....

I'll be tuning in on Monday as usual....hoping for a chance to jump in and express my opinion, which I have been known to do from time to time.

And the best advise I can offer you today is to SMILE....
Pass it on....
