A dodgy construction worker, who seems a little bit too eager to tell random blokes stories about his mates committing quite serious felonies, has today brought into question the effectiveness of Queensland Police Force-issued taser guns.
Known only as ‘Fingers’ – the the bloke could be easily between his late thirties and early fifties, and is rarely issued jobs that require him to work alongside other labourers.
While some of his stories seem quite tall, the abundance of prison tattoos and the very loud phone calls he keeps taking in front of everyone add a bit of weight to his supposed criminality.
While spinning a yarn about a bloke he knows who went mad after an heavy couples days on the pipe, Fingers seems completely unaware of the growing crowd surrounding him in the smoko sheds – including some corporate types representing the client.
Fingers’ continues his yarn about his fellow bikie-affiliated ex-con mate who was waving an unloaded handgun on the front porch of his suburban blonde brick rental after a three day bender that was triggered by a hostile custody battle with his ex who had just skipped town with kids.
“Anyway” says Fingers.
“Long story short”
“These coppers called his bluff and fired the taser straight into his throat [hahaha!]”
Despite claiming to be a friend of the man at the centre of the story he is hysterically laughing over, Fingers shows no sympathy towards the ‘mad old cunt’.
“Anyway. He’s fucking tough that loopy prick” says Fingers, wiping tears of laughter from his eyes.
“Coulda been the crack, but deadset mate it took two tasers to take him down”
