‘Gentle Giant’ zaps petite lady

I wasn’t impressed seeing a Marietta woman being arrested at a Logan football game, and how it went down!

Immediately thereafter, the Loganites came to the arresting person’s aid, stating he was the most gentle, sincere caring person to walk the streets of Logan; that she wasn’t arrested for not wearing a mask, but resisting arrest and criminal trespassing!

When this pandemic first started, I’m very positive, I heard both Governors Dewine and Justice, both publicly state “unless you have a physical ailment, or other extenuating circumstances, you should don the mask, when asked to do so.”

I won’t be going to anymore ball games; occasionally, I’ve been known to speak up: I’m afraid, I might yell at the ump to open his eyes or offend someone, and get arrested for criminal trespassing, after paying to get in!

After viewing the video,this is what I observed: I saw a very statuesque person approach a petite lady sitting 12 or 15 feet from anyone else, size up the situation, (I personally believe he’d already predetermined his course of action) and without asking for back-up or any other help, he chose to use excessive force tasering this lady, handcuff her and drag her away, while she was screaming “I have asthma and can’t breathe!”

Personally I hope the lady obtains a good lawyer, and sues the pants off the city of Logan, the arresting person and Dewine, for blatant use of excessive force and pain and suffering. Dewine has already said he’s sorry to hear of the incident. I’m sorry just doesn’t cut it!
