Naked Dude At Girl Talk Show: “Don’t Tase Me, Bro”

According to a P4K report, someone aside from Gregg Gillis was shirtless at Friday night's Girl Talk show at Wash U in St. Louis. Later, said shirtless dude took off his pants. And then was tasered in the ass. They write:

Eyewitness reader Greg Sabo wrote in an email, "There was one 20-something (who seemed to be under the influence of something) who kept on causing problems. He threatened basically everyone around him. Attendees asked the bouncers to remove him several times, but they were basically unsuccessful. This person starting a lot of pushing bouts during the show. There were several chants by the crowd to get this one man out. He also jumped up on stage once after everyone else had gotten off."

Apparently, the bouncers finally got the word. Student Life reports that at 10:45 pm, the troublemaker was removed from the venue by security. "He then shoved a security guard and pulled down his pants." Sabo points out that "he was already topless." The Washington University Police Department was called. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the man exposed himself.

Student Life continues, "When WUPD arrived they repeatedly told the man to pull up his pants or face arrest. The student refused and an officer attempted to handcuff him. When the student struggled to resist being handcuffed, the officer pulled out his Taser and threatened to use it if the student did not comply. The man continued to resist and was Tasered." According to both Sabo and the Riverfront Times, the Taser gun was pointed at the man's rear end. The reader writes that he was Tased twice: briefly at first, then "for at least 10 seconds (maybe as long as 20)."

The tased and confused showgoer was a 22-year-old who goes unnamed at present. Of course the John Kerry situation at University of Florida has folks making sure the police followed proper Taser protocal, but we're pretty sure the nudity is prima facie evidence that the cops were all good on the trigger.

Sounded sweaty in there, and out of hand, and like every Girl Talk show we've ever seen. Yes they can be fun, but nobody even waits for a righteous beat anymore! They just bumrush Gregg's getup from beat one for a chance to wiggle in the spotlight.

And granted naked man was an anomaly (insofar as his pants came off), but does Girl Talk in fact have the most annoying fans? If not, then to whom does that dubious distinction belong?
