Security Guards Punch And Tase And Pull Out Dreadlocks of Clarence Thomas' Nephew

 Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas' nephew was allegedly tased and beat up at a New Orleans hospital yesterday after an apparent suicide attempt when he "refused to put on a hospital gown and tried to leave his examination." Derek Thomas, 25 and a student at Nicholls State University, is epileptic and went into a massive seizure when he was tased. Clarence Thomas and his family are said to be outraged at this terrible incident, though maybe that can't be true for Clarence, as he usually loves weapons and authority figures using them. Clarence Thomas is said to be flying to New Orleans, to sit there and listen to people talk about the case without interjecting, we assume. [ WDSU / ABC 26 via Newell ]
