Shocking News!!
Sooooo, yeah.
A student got tasered at UF on Monday. John Kerry was giving a speech and opened the floor up for a "Town Hall" discussion. All of the videotapes show the student asking a few questions and then getting taken down by the university police, and then getting tasered. Oh, the outrage! How dare they do this to so innocent a young boy?! All he was doing was asking questions?!
But wait... that was sarcasm, wasn't it? "Do you mean you have an alternative view, oh shelled one?" Yes. Yes, I do.
This "kid", Andrew Meyer, loves causing controversy. He admits it. He's stated that he writes articles in the college paper just to get readers irritated. I've read his articles, and can believe it. He'll take the most off the wall stance on subjects, and play devil's advocate, just to make people mad. He deliberatly causes hate and discontent, and enjoys the aftermath. He's a schmuck. Not even a well-meaning schmuck.
He also has a history of pulling oddball public stunts. He does bizarre crap, films it, and then posts it on his blog. Y'know, normal things, like protesting on 9/11 that Bush caused the 2001 attacks. Or acting drunk and slobbering all over some poor girl. He even has his own cameraman, as witnessed in one of the videos that are currently clogging the ether. "That's my cameraman!" Why did he have his own cameraman? There? At that particular event?
Because this was another one of his stupid stunts, wasn't it?
Only this time, it went wrong. I'm quite sure that he had it all planned out. He would disrupt a public assembly, babble about some conspiracy theory book, ask asinine questions, and be escorted out. At which point he would calmly go home, and post to his blog, and maybe get a story on the local news. Look at me! Look at me!
That's where things took a turn. Didn't go quite the way he expected. Then plans went wrong. In fact, they went very wrong.
Let's start from the beginning. The part that NO video out there shows you. The question and answer period was over. He caused a ruckus and jumped up to one of the mics, and insisted he be given a chance to speak. Mr. Kerry accomodated him. That is why UPD was standing around already. He'd already proved a distraction. He wasn't even supposed to be up there.
He gave a false name when he introduced himself. Then he went on and on about that stupid book. Then he asked stupid questions, phrased to be confrontational and make a scene. Why would he have to mention Clinton's "blowjob"? Unnecessary. He wanted to cause a scene. And he did.
He was disrupting a public assembly. The police attempted to remove him, and he jerked away, resisting. Big mistake. Irrational tendancies, confrontational, trying to escape from police. Think about it! VA Tech wasn't that long ago....
The police attempted again to take him into custody and again he resisted, trying to get away from them and yelling that he was being "repressed". Who the hell is he, Monty Python? They get him outside the hall, and attempt to cuff him, and he is starting to realize that this is a whole lot more serious than he thought. "Just let me go and I'll walk right out of here!" Too late for that, kiddo. He still struggled, and would not let them cuff him. He was warned that he would be tased if he did not cease.
He didn't cease. Tadaaaaa. Zap.
Everyone is going on and on about how he was unarmed. How were the police to know this? They couldn't have. He wouldn't cooperate. He fought them tooth and nail. Should they have used the taser? Probably not. I think they could have subdued him manually. I work at a bar and have to subdue violent drunks on occasion, so I know how absolutely difficult it can be, but I think they could have taken him down.
Then again, maybe they should've plugged into a wall socket and upped the voltage? The cause of all of this fuss and muss rests soley on his own shoulders. He resisted, and fought the police. They repeatedly warned him, and told him to calm down. He wouldn't.
This was simply a publicity stunt from an attention seeking asshat. He thought he'd waltz in, cause his little disturbance, get a little 70mm comedy for the blog, and walk away. This was a joke to him. He thought it would be funny!
Sorry, putz. Life doesn't work that way. Actions have consequences. Too bad the apes that raised you didn't bother teaching you that. Even sadder is that you're getting your 15 minutes of fame out of this. Enjoy it while you can. There's a reason why they call it your "15 minutes of fame". 'Cause that's all you get.
Welcome to reality. ZZZZZZap.

Turtle Johnson is right! I've been laughing at that asstunnel for days now, and was stunned when I heard that the cops who 'tased him, bro' got suspended. He asked for it, and got way more than he bargained for. TFB.
Good lord, some people just don't know when to quit, do they?
