- CraigB12, on 10/12/2007, -1/+112How sick is this world when someone can't even grease themself up and run around in public?
- Akaji, on 10/12/2007, -0/+86"You never gonna catch me. Forget about it!"
It would have been especially funny (read: horrifying) if the taser somehow caused the oil to ignite. - smithfly114, on 10/12/2007, -3/+85Pictures or it didn't......wait.....nevermind!
- mynickel, on 10/12/2007, -3/+70"Don't hate me y'all. I'm just doin' my thing."
- IHaveIssues, on 10/12/2007, -0/+57"There was no indication of substance abuse or a medical problem."
Perhaps the problem is with internal spirits - quick, get the chequebook and off to get a Scientology test! - vikingdiplomat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+38"Police said that an administrator ordered Killian to stop, but that the student made a sexual gesture and kept running."
i think that's my favorite part... - LesterKing, on 10/12/2007, -6/+42What kind of a world do we live in where kids can't do stupid ***** without getting tazered by cops?

- weirdone, on 10/12/2007, -1/+28heh, yea greased up deaf guy from family guy was about all I could think of here.
- Y0tsuya, on 10/12/2007, -1/+27"Cop or no cop, you have to be a pretty sad individual to need a taser to take down a streaking teenager."
If a man's running around naked in front of me while I'm having lunch, I'd tase him too. - thcobbs, on 10/12/2007, -2/+25@d3c0yn4m3l355
You actually want someone to DIE to make the cops look bad?
Dude, you need some help.
Also, some people can run for hours... you know? Marathons?
edit: Oh, and you want the police to NOT do their job and enforce laws just because the only option they had was a less-than lethal shock device? - Rikkochet, on 10/12/2007, -8/+30Read the article maybe?
Cop is assigned to keep the peace.. A raving, naked madman runs around and refuses to stop when the cop (who doesn't recognize him as a student) orders him to.
Sorry, when a cop tells you to stop, ***** STOP. - jrstinkfish, on 10/12/2007, -6/+24He was butt naked and had a full beard (looked like an adult) and running towards groups of students. The officer tried to stop him, he resisted, he got tasered, didn't stop, and got tasered again. The officer had no way of knowing if this was some sort of sexual predator trying to harm these kids -- he absolutely did the right thing.
- haggie, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20Anthony Kedis is too old to be running around naked, covered in grease, in a high school cafeteria...
- Xageroth, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20This is the best headline I've read so far this year...
"Ohio students' lunch interrupted by greased, naked man in cafeteria; cop uses Taser"
A high school student attention whore? My God! The mystery! It must be the video games.
Cop or no cop, you have to be a pretty sad individual to need a taser to take down a streaking teenager. - browwiw, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16The best way to deal with streakers is just to block the exits. After running naked in circles with nowhere to go for about 5 minutes they'll realize what douches they are and give up. Conversely, if you're gonna streak make sure you have a raging erection. Nobody wants to tackle a guy when he has a boner.
- sonicdevo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15It's stupid though that he'll be labeled as a sex offender for an immature prank like this.
- robdiggity, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14"Killian is charged with inducing panic, public indecency, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. He was being held at the county jail Monday, and it was not known whether he had been given pants."
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Dude, he was naked AND greased up.
- JohnnyHuh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13I hope they were serving hot dogs that day.
- lagrange, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1718?!
It doesn't matter if he was a student or not, he just exposed himself to hundreds of minors.
I wonder if he will enjoy spending his life stamped as a sex offender as much as he enjoyed his little prank. - Synchro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12"Cop or no cop, you have to be a pretty sad individual to need a taser to take down a streaking teenager."
It is not a question of "need". A buddy of mine who is a cop told me when I asked him about tasers a few years backs, that he loved them. Reason is he now more often then not gets to go home after his shift without a ton of bumps, bruises, scratches and so on. It used to be a normal occurence to go home all torn up after some scuffle with some dumb ass. So look at it from a quality of life issue of the cop.
So if I were a cop and had a choice, struggle with someone in a hand to hand fight on the ground or tase the person. hrmmmm.....taser....every time. - r00tus3r, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13He's eighteen? That kid looks older than me!!! and I'm 24.
- treed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12UNIX is hardly a substance.
Hey, maybe it was RMS! - davidsmero, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12You're never gonna catch me!
- tdogg241, on 10/12/2007, -4/+15Haha, the URL for the story is priceless.
Also, kid wasn't deaf, so I don't think he was imitating Family Guy. - Soldierboi, on 05/09/2008, -0/+11You simply cannot do better at titling a piece than this.
- austindkelly, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Its "Don't judge me, I'm just doing my thing."
- stryker2you, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Why can't people put a description of the video they are linking to? It's annoying when you don't tell us what it is.
For the rest of digg: it's a clip of Peter from Family Guy trying to catch the naked greasy guy. - Rikkochet, on 10/12/2007, -5/+15You don't consider someone clearly acting deranged in a school as a potential threat? You don't think a cop, who is entrusted with the safety of the students, won't consider for a moment that this person might be violently insane in addition to being greased, naked, and running around a school?
Maybe I'm weird, but if I see a greased up naked stranger (with a beard, to boot - here come the hobo stereotypes), I'm going to assume it's possibly more than a prank.
Then again, I guess when I was in school we had good pranks, not streaking. - eliezerlp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Local news with a short video: http://www.nbc4i.com/midwest/cmh/news.apx.-content-articles-CMH-2007-01-29-0001.html
As Described by my classmates:
Subject: The Streaker . . . .
Body: I never thought that out of the four years of my high school career, I would ever be able to experience talking about a Streaker. Nonetheless, someone I've known since Middle School . . . I will not use his name for his sake of embarrassment (even though most of us know it is already too late for that).
As I was waiting impatiently in the school cafeteria for my French Vanilla Yogurt, I happen to slowly glance over to my left side. We I looked over, what I thought I saw was the naked butt of someone, and unfortunately I was right. He came running out of the Men's restroom, shinier than a waxed bowling ball. I needed a pair of sunglasses just to look at him, not just because he was very radiant, but because of other unspoken reasons I won't get into. All of a sudden, I hear this death scream coming from the commons area, and all Hell breaks loose. The lady who was getting my French Vanilla Yogurt stopped just to see what was happening, as well as the rest of our Cafeteria Staff. Almost every person ran out into the commons just to see the commotion. I forget about the Ice Cream temporarily and join the crowd. Through the bookbags of Freshman, and the idiots standing on the chairs, I saw a completely naked kid running from all of the police officers! I couldn't believe what I saw . . . One of the officers had tried desperately to grab him but failed because his body had been covered in slick oil. The last resort came down to The Streaker being tazored not once, not twice, but THREE times on his back! H immediately dropped to the floor and began convulsing for a few minutes. I walked back into the cafeteria and got my French Vanilla Ice Cream, paid, and told the cash register lady "Have a Nice Day!". As I was walking back to the Senior hallway, Mrs. Tankovich clears the hallway so the Medics could come in through the front. All of the Seniors were forced to go to the Commons and wait. There were movable chalk boards placed around his body located in the Gallery area. When the Medics were ready to escort him out of the school, everyone in the Commons stood up and gave him a standing ovation. The Administrators had quickly asked everyone to move into the Gymnasium. From that point on until the end of the day, everyone finally had something to talk about on a good Monday . . . .
And another:
here's what happened on this eventful monday::
[...]
-THEN. during 5th period lunch, which i'm in, there was a bunch of people screaming so i thought it was another fight. so we all stood up only to see a naked boy running through the lunchroom with a rather small hairy penis and very oily skin. sooo he stops by my lunch table and starts air humping MR.SAMPSON. the assistant principal. hahahah then the cop's chasing him so he runs away and before he gets to the doors the cop tasers him 3 times. it had to be the funniest ***** i've seen in a long ass timee. - eliezerlp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10I attend this school. I had seen him around but had never even heard of his name. He was known for his smarts (computers, programming, ect.) and was a wrestler.
This is his profile on a wiki which someone else updated for him: http://www.xbox-linux.org/wiki/User:Taylor_Killian
Now he is forever infamous here. - bolero421, on 10/12/2007, -6/+15So let me get this strait. Running around naked is now grounds for physical assault? I mean, come in, it's not like we haven't seen a penis before (hell, half of the human race has one tagging along with them all the time).
- kitsune111, on 10/12/2007, -11/+20what threat did a slippery nude kid pose? tasers, and other weapons should only be used if the officer is in danger of being harmed or attacked.
- trer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Imagine if they used that ray gun that makes you feel like you're on fire, coupled with the fact that he was covered with oil...

- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12It's not like they shot him. Or threw a match on him.
Grow up. It's just a taser. - Jeveran, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Casual Google search of Taylor Killian of Westerville, OH, paints him as a computer geek, rowing team member, and high school wrestler. Sounds a little more integrated than out in social left field.
- Salgat, on 10/12/2007, -8/+15Believe it or not, tazering is not that bad. Anyways, what other alternative do they have? Let him run around? Have a bunch of people try to grab a naked person, who happens to be greased? Awesome story, woulda been hilarious to see!
- catfish182, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8"cocaine is a hell of a drug"
Rick James - ChronicColonic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Popcorn anyone?
- ShinerMan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8I'm sure most of the idiots here would rather that the police officer tried to tackle the guy and fell flat on his face breaking his nose and teeth requiring plastic surgery. That would be really hilarious wouldn't it?
Idiots...screw that kid. I don't expect anybody to put themselves in harms way because some dumb kid pulled a prank like this. Tazer his ass and be done with it. - HardwareLust, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10The cop's *firearm* is there if they or others close by are "in danger of being harmed or attacked".
This is exactly the sort of situation a Taser was designed for; to gain control of a uncooperative subject before he has the chance to hurt or attack someone.
Because here's the situation; Naked oily kid runs around screaming the cafeteria. Someone/himself slips and falls, or hurts themselves. Parents of said naked screaming oily kid now sue the city and school for the cop not preventing him from hurting himself, parents of any other kids now sue the city and school for their own injuries brought on by the cop not taking control of the naked oily screaming kid before he hurt himself.
All in all, the cop did the right thing; he subdued the subject without any ancillary injuires or property damage. You should be glad he had the taser. 20 years ago he would have bopped him on the head with nightstick, or worse - SimianSamurai, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Reminds me of that character in Family Guy...
...and every bit as unwelcome of a mental image - Ibanezfoo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8I think thats because alot of people on digg are tucked safely behind their computer screens and don't have to deal with the outside world. Its easy to make all kinds of statements about what should or should not happen when you aren't there.
- popflop, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7This kid was a smart cookie. From his website,
"Well, I've been working on a project for a while now (a couple months), so I figured it would be cool to post it here. Basically I am making a game server for Final Fantasy XI (mass multiplayer online game), which has proved to be a challenge since the manufacturers do not provide a server like they do for other games (Halo, Counter Strike, Enemy Territory, etc.) So yeah, I've had to reverse engineer the client to figure out how to build the server. The source can be found at https://opensvn.csie.org/pxi/PxiEMU (slow svn), the website is http://projectxi.sf.net/ and I even made my own website about hacking FFXI http://www.ffxilock.com/wiki .
It's pretty cool because it actually works, but it's not yet fully functional yet (and probably won't be for a while). In case you have the game, check it out Wink" - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6combustion8:
This happened in a high school. Remember when you went to high school? Remember what those kids are actually like? If you actually think that there's a single high school student in America that has never seen a naked body, please just kill yourself.
You've obviously never ventured into the real world. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8Pretend you're the cop on the scene... You've got kids laughing at you for not being able to catch the guy... Solution? Zap the ***** out of him.
It's funny, and it's a story you can tell to your grandkids.
Of course this naked greased up kid will probably hire a lawyer and sue the police and school over this, and make his lawyer rich. - Ibanezfoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I think people need to understand personal responsibility and consequences of their actions. If you do something blatantly stupid, you are going to get hurt. Its a no brainer.
