Man tasered repeatedly at work files lawsuit
 

I think this is one situation where I would have beat some co worker ass. I usually don't condone violence but here I would.

Yeah...frivolous. Not so much. They will be writing a large check to this guy.

Wow, the boss held the camera? nice.

This just helps to confirm to me that most car salesmen are low life scumbags.

Don't tase me , Bro.

How that guy didn't pack a 45 to work I don't know. Wonder what he did to bring on that treatment?

that's ridiculous....boss looks like a jackass too.

Hope this dude gets some $$$

Works with immature dipshits pretty much.

Sure a joke 1 or 2 times, but 2 dozen times, wtf

The customers that left with only a little anus bleeding now feel lucky.

Yes, sounds beyond stupid. So much so I wonder if there is more to the story. If not, dude deserves to win.

Sounds too bazaar to be just face value but :shrug:

That must be the most stupid employer on the planet. It's shocking that they would be doing it to people, but then to video it and put it on youtube? They might as well give the dealership to that guy.

The big concern is that the boss's wife is a state representative. The only chance of not paying a lot of money is if she interferes with the justice system. I don't know how courts work, so she may not have any influence, which would be good.

I used to work just down the street from this place when I lived in Houston. I knew a few guys that had been through there, its a scum factory.

I would have been kicking some ones ass well before 9 months of it. That guy seemed like a pretty nice guy just showing up for work. Selling cars has to be stressful enough just to make sales and live off of your sales.


His boss seemed like an arrogant jerk & this case can go from civil courts to assault charges.


The guy should have reported this long ago to better business burro.

While on deployment, my squad had to get Tasered. Uh, that was 8 seconds of hell. Never again. And it would of took one time for these pricks to do that to me, and I would of been postal. being tasered is no joke. I still get uncomfortable looking at power boxes......

FTS........

Damn. Why did you have to get tazed? You MP? And yeah, can't believe dude didn't show one day packed and double tapping.

I hate to admit it, but I'm a vengeful mother****er. I would've been fired after the second or third tasering. I hope this guy gets a fat check and an even better job.

I saw a guy get tazed on COPS 3D. COPS 3D looked so real like it was rite out side my home. This guy was told to stop and get down by a motorcycle cop that arrived and pulled out a weapon. The guy kept lunging toward the cop and told him "shoot me" & then zap ~ dude was toast fell flat on his face on concrete sidewalk. Funny as hell but I got new respect for law officers seeing that.

some people just aren't violent but you would have thought he would go get a tazer of his own and start shocking some nads.

Yeah, I'm thinking I would have grabbed the nearest blunt object and starting beating the guy with it. While I feel sorry for this guy, and hope he ends up owning the place, he's a puss for taking it so long.

Yes. Or a plastic pellet pistol, something.

its a new feeling when you can fill your balls giggling inside your sack. Unpleasant.


We had to get pepper sprayed, and then run an obstacle course full of guys hitting you, and attacking you.

ill take that 74 times again before I ever get tasered....

He took it up so long until he got fired. I don't understand why he waited till he got fired & 9 months of shocking abuse. I agree he is a puss for not standing up for himself sooner.

I can see how that would affect his job performance so maybe he could go with wrongful termination lawsuit depending on the states laws.

At boot camp Ft. Sill Ok we had to go through a gas chamber with a gas mask on then take it off. That ****ing sucked ass. Am sure better than being tazed but I wouldn't want to go through it again.

Yea, even if it was some kind of game that just went too far because of a bunch of bully pricks ... you go get the strongest taser made. The kind of taser that is so strong it makes you piss yourself and you set a new standard.

Like how you think.

I agree, he took too long. Once you're a target, the bullying is going to continue until you snap, the boss puts an end to it, or someone gets seriously hurt.

Put Visine in the coffee pot and drink water or pop all day. Watch everyone fight over the shitter and take every customer on the lot.

i'm not one to put up with bully situations.

Even clear back when i was in grade school i remember stepping in and putting a stop to this guy who was picking on this kid with messed up legs. He had this condition that made him always walk up on his toes. So his balance was crap and length strength was weak.

Pretty pathetic when one of the biggest guys in our grade school started pushing him around. :shake:

A friend and i put a stop to that shit quick.

Good on you. With you on that, no need for that.

HA, no kidding? That's where I went through...hahaha. 13 bravo baby....

I didn't open my eyes when we went through it. So, I didn't get it as bad as other people. But, I hocked up shit for days......lol

After filming it, the boss would have been the brunt of the next funny taser event in the office... Over and over and over again... And if he so much as whined about being the joke that time, we'd see how funny a Louisville Slugger to both shins is. I'd remind him that nobody like a whiny bitch who can't take a joke just before I went Babe Ruth on his first shin...

Hey cool. I forgot what unit I was in but we had this black Drill Sergeant Farmer and I was scared shitless when he just stood there with his arms crossed. He wouldn't say much at all was a big black man.

Then we had this other bulky white drill sergeant that was mean as hell and would flip tables but I wasn't scared of him just couldn't respect the guy.


The scariest ones were the black female drill sergeants MY GOD I saw this one make grown men cry. Glad I didn't have one as my instructor.

It was summer of 1992 my junior year in high school.

as long as it is corporate policy there's nothing wrong here /corporatist buttslave

Who was his boss, Ashley Shaeffer?

haha, yeah, I went late. I went straight from basic, to a deployment. I went in 2006. And yes, the scariest Drill Sergeants were always the females. They were beasts. Ours were okay. We had this black wanna be name Peacock, who kinda looked like freddy kruger, and we had a black guy named Mazziel. He was a dick, but told funny stories. About half way through our cycle, we got this dude named Maddux. He was cool because he didn't like the training, he thought we should do shit more according to what we were actually going to face. The rest of the battery drill sergeants hated him......But we loved him. I was in 1-122 bravo.

meh, if he's working with a bunch of asshats then this type of behavior would only escalate the hi jinx crap. The guy said he was trying to buy a house, in other words, he needed the job. He's doing the right thing, he got laid off and now he's going to collect unemployment while he sues the crap out of the idiot owners, one who is a state representative.

He will get some $. They will pay him off just to shut him up.

Classic bully mentality they found the weak guy in the heard and took advantage.

Fred Fincher Motors might soon be Bradley Jones Motors.

My friends and I used to sneak up and shock the shit out of each other with a stun gun which is what I think they're talking about.
It was hilarious.
If someone were to do this to me multiple times at work I would show up with an actual taser and put their ass on the ****ing concrete with it

Who the **** thinks that is okay?

Those people need to be sterilized.

Pretty much. I think that as soon as I recovered from the taser I would have gone after the guy with my chair.

once is a prank and I get even, twice is a mistake and I get one better

I hate frivolous lawsuits immensely BUT this ain't one of them!

This guy deserves a boatload of money and these sleazy douchebags all deserve to be charged with assault!

What a bunch of boneheads and the boss is probably the owners son who was born a silver spoon, like Colin Farrell's character in Horrible Bosses.

I heard they tried to settle out of court. With an offer of a Chevy Volt.

****ing-A friend... I've not been tasered, but I've got some scars form other events, and from my awesome friends who have experienced both, they say, BY FAR, the taser if a LOT worse. You don't usually die, but they NEVER want it again. So based on that, I'd beat the ****ing shit out of the boss guy and tell him that firing me would be the worst thing he could do because then I have nothing but "law" holding me back, and that AIN'T much! If he looked im my eyes when i said it, i think he'd give me both a raise and a bonus!

Ahh shit what a bitch.Apparently, the guy can't stand up for himself then he turns to litigation and embarrassment to solve his problems.

Nice. LMAO

Ya that guy is a giant bitch. I would beat the ****ing guys ass if they did that to me.

Because fighting is always the best way to solve problems.

Its hell of a lot better then being tased for 9 months

being tazed sucks. had a buddy taze me for 3 seconds.

Well, it's not a bad way to send the "stop" signal to the guy tasering your ass in a recurring basis...

I'm just wondering why it took him so long to file a lawsuit.

They would have tazed me once then I would have pressed charges. There are laws in place to deal with that.

Meanwhile this dude's gonna be rich.

Perhaps he lost his bat.... IDK, but I agree that a trip to the local sports store could have ended this a lot sooner and provided the boss with some umplanned time off (to recover)... His boss is a ****ing pussy and needs his shit pushed up his colon with a fat bat!

Poor guy must have worked with a bunch of former frat boys who started in high school with snapping each other in the showers with towels, then paddling each other in a college frat house (Please, may I have some more?).

Dumbassery and grabassery like this in the workplace should result in broken bones for the perpetrators and they should be required to list these transactions on the applications for their next jobs wearing paper hats and dispensing fast food to the public. On second thought, wearing paper hats and cleaning toilets in a fast food establishment or a public park. Plain and simple.

This is a good point. I've worked with numerous people over the years that could've used an occasional tazering.

Same here. Ft. Jackson, SC. Ugh! Cleared up the sinuses, for sure. Can't imagine being tazed.

Good point

The guy isn't selling then let him go? don't ****ing tase him.

I was thinking this too.

He kind of looks like the biggest dufus in the business. He's probably dating some chick but secretly has the hots for the vice president.

Working at a car lot for 4 years is pretty significant here. It showed that in the past he was selling at the least. They don't pay you to not sell.

Sorry Diddy but I would have whooped some ass and then when those pussys called the cops on me, you know they would have too, I would press charges at that point.


By I would have punched every ****er involved.

nope standing up for yourself is and telling them to **** off and mean it instead of lawyering up. It's a bitch move.

I play on a rec softball team where the young guys thing it's funny to tap each other in the nuts. I explained to them that I would be tapping anybody in the chin with my fist the first time somebody racked me in the balls. They got the message. I'm all about a joke but screw painful jokes unless all parties are willing participants.

this, for sure.

Pass on getting tapped in the nuts.

I would say the guy is a paper pusher of some kind and not selling cars. Maybe that's what SimplyRed meant.

The video says Sam Harless is the General Manager.
Fred Fincher Motors is a used car dealer. No comment.

The lawsuit lists the Defendants as Patricia Harless, Sam Harless, P.P.D., Fincher Inc., et. al. in Harris County Civil Court. Cause # 1035300.

Not on the Docket yet.

She's a Texas State Representative and part owner is my guess.

The loving family photo

He looks like a weasel, she looks like a power-hungry ****, and their son looks like a douchebag.

Yep. Someone gets 1 chance to mistakenly think I would think that was funny.

Offices without tasers are for closers...

Oh. Sorry about doing that when we met for dinner a few years back. I thought it was funny.

And by the way, as a result of this thread I've implemented a new policy at my own office. Employees are not allowed to taser each other. The only taser use will be by either direct supervisors or managers, and only with an HR person present. Tasers will be used only in quarterly or annual performance reviews where warranted.

To put things into perspective, if you start randomly punching and fighting people there's a possibility the police and court system might charge you with third degree felony battery even if there were practical stun gun jokes. Taking "the bitch" way out and getting a million plus in damages might be the more logical choice over pretending to be a tough guy and having a felony on your record.

He should have done both given it was management sanctioned.

If I ever have to work for someone I want to work for you.

I didn't say anything about fighting you're putting words in my mouth, I said he needed to stand up for himself.

we did that too, when we were in high school ...

No logic here. It's better to be the tough guy.

True. When attacked logic flies out the door for me...

Btw it wouldn't be random punching. Actually self defense.


That post reads as though someone would walk down the street punching people for no reason
