WAUKESHA, Wis. — A Wisconsin man who posted a video online showing him and his father shocking each other with a stolen stun gun has been sent to prison.
Paul Crowell pleaded guilty to possession of an electric weapon and was sentenced June 20 to two years.
Police documents stated he stole a Taser from an East Troy police officer.
He got it while sitting in a patrol car after his vehicle was found in a ditch.
The 22-year-old allegedly showed the online video to a girl, and she reported it to police.
Crowell’s father, Paul Dupey, also pleaded guilty to possession of an electric weapon. He is scheduled to be sentenced in August. Father, Son Get Prison Time After Posting Taser Video
This story grabbed me because I first found it along side an article about Joe Horn. States rights! What a difference 1000 miles can make to the law. In one case a father and son having a stupid time with a pretend gun (a taser) get years in state prison while 1000 miles South (of course it would be South) a man is not even indicted for shooting a couple unarmed men in the back with a real gun (shotgun). From 10 feet way after lunch on a sunny day, after he told the 911 operator he was going to shoot them and was real no nonsense happy about it. No wonder these Southern states are so touchy about states rights hey. States rights have always been and always will be the impetus for a license to kill.
