I'm not a psychiatrist but it appears this young man momentarily lost his marbles, something which is just not that unusual for teenage youth. he didn't kill anyone, he didn't wreck his car into anyone, he just went crazy for a few minutes. two of those strong infielders could have easily tackled him and that would have been that. end of story. but, with the tazing, it could have ended a lot differently.
and as far as his reputation in school goes, who knows, some hot girl might think he's happening and start hanging out with him.

If he was that unstable, lock him up, throw away the key, weld the door shut. If not, the parents are responsible. Yes, I did stupid things when young. Unfortunately for me, you weren't my father or mother and I had to pay for them. Take the time I busted the neighbor's flood lamp. I was made to somehow get him a replacement. Not enough money? No problem. Dad provided it. Repayment terms applied. WITH INTEREST. No job? That's ok. There are jobs to do around the house. I don't know how many times I had to wax the cars by hand for $3 or dig a hole for the tree and get paid $5. Bit by bit, it got paid WITH INTEREST building up so I can't take too much time. At the end of it, I leaned my lesson.
