Not sure if there is a thread on this already? Nevertheless something interesting to talk about:

The guy seems pretty ignorant and it's probably bigger news than it should be because his younger brother is a fairly high-profile prospect.

But was it really necessary for the police to pull a taser? Probably not.

Sorry, but why is this being posted to the Flames forum? Can we keep this stuff off topic?

I feel bad for the cops. Like they want to have to deal with this crap.

Watching the video, I got the sense that everyone involved was kind of awful.

I think the police were decidedly less awful in this situation, though.

Edit: and honestly, watching the video again... he really resisted them hard and started to skate away. It's hard to tell what the police should do in that sort of situation. But I know 100% that's not what Wiesblatt should do in the situation.

The problem that needs to be solved is this guy is an idiot.

Discussed at great length in the COVID forum

I couldn’t imagine having to go through life telling people my name was Orca. I’d run away and change my name.

Perfect pick for the Canucks though.

Honestly the cops probably could have handled the situation better but this guy is an idiot.

Not listening to the cops, physically resisting, and was just trying to put on a show for the camera. Even his own friends are pleading with him just to listen.

Just my two cents but I have a feeling he was making it intentionally tough because it was two female cops too and he knew he could resist physically. I doubt he’s acting so tough if it was two 6’4” 250 lbs guys trying to arrest him.

Of course Rebel News is over the boards faster that the Charlestown Chiefs to cover this.

Another GoFundMe is predictable.

I had not heard of this family until this year’s virtual entry draft. The video of the family watching and reacting to one of the boys being drafted was lovely. The storey of their single mom raising hockey boys received national media attention.

Too bad this tarnishes things.

There was a special on the family for one of the breaks at a game at the dome last year, if I remember correctly.

Sue at least makes a little sense, at least AFTER the song. But Orca... that's a name-changer and a thorough dad kicker-asser.

People who refuse to let anyone tell them what to do need to be told what to do more than anyone.
