    What? Did these people not think anything was going to happen to them? I mean for 1) they were spitting on other people and cursing at them (anyone know where this was at?) 2) They ATTACKED a police officer! Maybe they thought they were in a fantasy world where nothing could happen to them.

    Horrible horrible, im glad they got charged with battery

    Can only say they totally deserved what they got. Spitting at someone is a filthy, disgusting habit and it is also assault. Spitting on the sidewalk is also disgusting and it should be prevented by law. I hope the taser really hurt - I have absolutely no sympathy for these punks.

    Now, I'll turn that little mouse's dream into a Nightmare Fantasmic!

    It would seem to be stupid enough to attack an officer that you would need to be altered in some way... drugs??? alcohol??? with being the MK at least we know that they were not served at the park.

    How stupid can people be??

    Thank goodness that Disney will do something to idiots like this.

    They should have been tasered for the spitting alone. ha-ha. What a terrible thing to worry about while at WDW.

    And of course they are from Long Island. Publicity like this is what makes me ashamed to tell people that I'm from there as well.

    I've always wanted to taser someone. It would have been especially satisfying to taser those jerks.

    Now the both of you just need to find someone who wishes to be TASERed!

    Did you know what TASER stands for???
    I believe its: Thomas A. Smith Electric Rifle.

    I didn't know that, and the wikipedaia entry agrees with you.

    Forget the 3:00 parade, I want to know what time this show begins.

    I'm glad these people were visiting during a time while I wasn't there. I spend a lot of money when vacationing at Disney and expect a place where people are safe, get along, and enjoy themselves. I really hope these people are never allowed to enter another Disney park again, period. Just imagine how your magical vacation would be affected by some degenerate spitting on you or a family member? These people arrested should feel lucky that a taser gun was all they encountered. Some park guests, like myself, could have taken matters into their own hands and settled it without security.

    DS 10 chimes in

    My DS 10 would like to post:

    "Those teenagers LOOK like convincts. I'm glad they got TASERd because WDW is a place for children and families to enjoy vacation, and not get spat on."

    Mom's post: I have seen a number of nice kids in their teens enjoying WDW without having to resort to spitting and swearing to have a good time. And it's not even that the dreadful teens were behaving badly because they were unchaperoned...apparently, there were two adults with them, which I think is REALLY sad. My DS 10 describes the teens' behavior as "juvenile." His mom says "juvenile delinquent"! At any rate, aren't we glad that probably every one of us can boast that our kids from age 2 to 22 are more mature and well mannered than this lot! Oy!

    All this talk of people not behaving and youths being uncontrolled without supervision...

    Reminds me on our stay at ASMo last last October. Crazy, ugly, uncontrolled. Wish I'd had a TASER then to control the unsupervised children!

    Wish I was the one using the tazer.

    And I wish all the TASER guns and other weapons were flowers
    and that those use them would smell them and. . .

    Wait, I forgot--we need some weapons to take out spitting punks. Nevermind!

    I just can't imagine investing so much time and money in a Disney trip and then getting there and being spit on. I can't believe that someone would do something like this. Thank you for sharing this interesting experience, and I hope that no one does something even remotely like this again!

    Woohoo, three cheers for modern science! Hope he smelled like burnt hair for a while lol. Of course, after that the judge should have given him a few days of mk garbage detail as community service.

    (sad part is, 10 slackers showed up to guest services the next day asking in which land the new "taser ride" was)

    Wow. Nobody punched them for being spit on? I know my husband would have drilled one of them in the face if he got spit on. I know its a family park and all but really, yuck.
