Let’s say that you have a hobby. You might want to post about it online. This is benign if your hobby is, say, Magic cards. Or pottery. Or Star Trek furry fan fic.

It may be less benign if your hobby is tasering inmates at the correctional facility you work at.

“Seeing someone get TASER’d is second only to being the guy pulling the trigger,” Thompson wrote on [a City of Heroes] message board Aug. 25. “That is money. Puts a smile on your face.”

Asked by the Portland Tribune to review the posts and comment, Sheriff Bernie Giusto launched an internal investigation of Thompson that will examine, among other things, whether he lied while accusing an inmate of assaulting him as a way to justify having injured the inmate.

The good news is that he’s the taser trainer for the Jail. So he’s got work that he’s passionate about.

For instance, having described himself as a Taser trainer, Trafalgar wrote that “Big mouth skank = perfect TASER candidate.”

When another player remarked that Trafalgar is lucky to be able to Taser people, he responded, “Yes I am. My job is sweet sometimes.”

I hope this guy was playing on the City of Villains side.
