GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Coming soon to a T-shirt near you, Dont tase me, bro! has the makings to nudge out toe-tapping senator and Want some of my roommates pot! as THE catch-phrase of K7 (2007 yo!)
Its newsworthy: A University of Florida senior said it just before cops zapped him as he yelled at Sen. John Kerry. Its functional: Who wants to be tased?
It embodies current Americana: Failed presidential candidates, Taser-happy police, YouTube, jail, idiocy, pointless student demonstrations and a heap of apologizing. And lets not forget motherhood: As one observer said, and so many of us are thinking, student Andrew Meyers parents must be proud.
Apologies? University of Florida President Bernie Machen called the shocking events regretful.
Kerry called it, yes, regretful. Never in his 37 years of speechifying, Kerry said, had a Q&A ended with the blues dragging a kid to jail screaming, Whatd I do?
Two campus cops have to turn in their badges and unplug their guns while an investigation proceeds.
Florida students marched for free speech, against Tasers and undecided on rubber-soled shoes.
Meyers other videos Harry Dies, in which he ruins the last Potter book, and cool Web photos of him licking a face and getting weird with a fake cow have become famous.
And motherhood? How about grandmotherhood? Meyers nonnie said hes a good boy. Really.
The police were out of line this time. The taser was not necessary... the kid was already handcuffed.
Many of FR will try to make this a left vs right issue. To me, it’s a free speech issue. Do I agree with what this kid stands believes in? No, probably not. Does he have a right to express himself? Absolutly.
Freedom of speech does not, and never has implied, freedom from consequence.
He interrupted and disrupted a public event. That is his right. The organizers of the event had their security personnel end his disruption. That is their right.
No (permanent) harm (though I’ll bet he’s STILL hurtin’ a bit), no foul.
Grow up, get a pair and deal with it like a MAN.
He did express himself. Then it became all about him and confrontation. He interrupted the event and refused to cooperate with the police. ZAP! It his had been Hillary, her own thugs would have really put him out of commission for awhile.
The bleeding hearts are bitchin’ about the Taser, perhaps they prefer a .357 instead.
Sorry, I disagree. The way those cops behaved was a disgrace and every one of them should be arrested for assault and fired from their jobs.
The snot nosed punk obviously took the Cindy Sheehan correspondence course called “How to Be a Publicity Whore”.
Of course this is not a liberal vs conservative issue. This is someone who cut in line, had his turn to speak, refused to cooperate with the police, tried to get away, and was ultimately tased. Whether liberal or conservative, he created the incident and got what he deserved. Police use taser so they aren’t put in a position to have to use deadly force with a firearm.
Could the police have handled it better? Perhaps they could. Remember this is a guy who (from reports I heard) was rushing the stage. On stage was a former presidential candidate. There was no room for error here by the police to allow this troublemaker to do something like, say, Sirhan Sirhan.
