Democracy Gone Astray

Democracy, being a human construct, needs to be thought of as directionality rather than an object. As such, to understand it requires not so much a description of existing structures and/or other related phenomena but a declaration of intentionality.
This blog aims at creating labeled lists of published infringements of such intentionality, of points in time where democracy strays from its intended directionality. In addition to outright infringements, this blog also collects important contemporary information and/or discussions that impact our socio-political landscape.

All the posts here were published in the electronic media – main-stream as well as fringe, and maintain links to the original texts.

Naked Man Tasered Outside Of Chicago Music Festival After Putting Rear Through Car Windshield

A naked man Chicago police suspect was intoxicated or "high on a hallucinogenic drug" spent Saturday night having shards of glass removed from his buttocks after he stuck his rear end through a windshield, prompting cops to Taser and arrest him.

The Tribune reports two people called 911 from outside the North Coast Music Festival near Ogden Avenue and Randolph Street about 8:10 p.m. Saturday: One to report a naked man who broke a windshield, and the other to report a naked man jumping on top of cars.

When officers arrived, DNAinfo Chicago reports they found the 22-year-old Massachusetts man naked, sitting in a puddle of water.

The owner of a 2008 Mercedes Benz said the man had jumped on top of his car and broke his windshield, NBC Chicago reports.

After officers said he was acting erratic and "not responding to commands,", they Tasered him in order to make an arrest.

After breaking the windshield and getting Tasered, the man was taken to an area hospital "for observation and to get shards of glass removed from his buttocks," the Tribune reports.

Criminal damage to property charges are pending.
