Parenting FAIL: Tased Fan Identified, called Dad
By Kyle Scott
Published:
According to Philly.com, the tasered fan at last night's Phillies game was Steve Consalvi, a 17 year senior at Boyertown High School, heading to Penn State next Fall.
He wasn't drinking. His father said he was a "good student", and that he even called to ask if he could run onto the field before doing so. Umm, parenting FAIL.
Consalvi told his Dad it would be "a once in a lifetime experience." No kidding. This is the first time Philadelphia Police have ever tasered a fan on the field. And he's getting his 15 minutes of fame out of it too. Well played, Steve.
According to Facebook, Consalvi likes "going to Phillies games." Ironic.
All joking aside, the punishment didn't fit the crime here. As awesome as it was to see wannabe Paul Blart chase after Consalvi, he was slowing down and surrounded by security. No need to taze, bro.
