Taser Saves Suicidal Man but Too Bad it Can’t Save the Economy

A man’s life was saved the other day thanks to a Taser gun. The story was both heartbreaking and beautiful. Who would have thought someone would be happy over being shot by a Taser?

A man in Florida was having a hard time, and boy was it a hard time. He had had a wonderful life. He had his own business and made great money. He had a beautiful family too. But the economy started taking a turn for the worst and he lost his business. The financial difficulties caused problems in his marriage and ended up divorced and left estranged by his children.

He moved from his home Rhode Island to Tampa Bay, hoping for a new beginning in a warmer climate. But he couldn’t get work and ended up homeless on the street.

After being kicked out of an airport he had been sleeping in, he decided to take his own life. He went to a bridge that went over Tampa Bay and contemplated jumping. A local citizen saw him there and called the police.

The police talked with the man, but he wouldn’t back away from the edge. One officer eventually used his Taser in order to incapacitate the man and get him away from danger. As the man fell, two of the officers on the scene run up and caught him, easing his fall.

As the man was being put into an ambulance, he started to weep tears of relief. He had only wanted help. The officer who had used his Taser walked over to the man and told him that things would turn out okay then gave him a heart-felt hug. The man was then taken to a crisis center for some counseling.
