“Don’t taze me, bro!”

The media will report on this, but frame it in such as way as to put the blame on conservatives.

He’s a ‘preacher’ from what I’ve been reading. Will post more in a second when I dig it up.

Oh, and thanks for the H/T! It’s my pleasure to post stuff I find. ;-)

That story gets weirder- the "protester" is a well-know agitator from years ago:

G8 and Its Protesters- Loyal Opposition, or Anarchy?

Lord have mercy- this story is related to the old G-8 post:

Priceless. Violent Tea Party Disrupter Threatened With Tazer & Arrested in Georgia (Video)

A pro-Obamacare thug was arrested after threatening tea party patriots in Georgia this past week.

Click on the photo for video--

The violent tea party crasher was later arrested after he threatened the police.
The Tea Party Patriots had a permit for their protest.
First Coast News reported:

A man has been arrested in downtown Brunswick after disrupting a Tea Party protest against the Democrats' healthcare reform plan.

Around 20 members of the Golden Isle Tea Party Patriots and other participants were holding signs and waving at passing cars in front of the main post office.

First Coast News was there when Zack Lyde from Brunswick walked up shouting at the group and started a verbal confrontation with protesters.

When a Brunswick police officer asked Lyde to leave, he refused. As officers tried placing him under arrest, he attempted to wriggle out of their grasp.

Officers pointed tasers at Lyde until he dropped to the ground and allowed himself to be handcuffed and taken into custody.

Hat Tip KC the Kat

Here's more video of the arrest from a sympathetic CNN:
CNN reported that the crazed counter protester is a minister.
Maybe he studied under Jeremiah Wright?

The man, Minister Zack Lyde is an anti-capitalist

self-proclaimed "street advocate" with a radical past.

From the bottom links?

"The Rev. Zack Lyde is the pastor of a small African American congregation in Brunswick, GA. He was kind enough to offer his church as a place to hold the statewide meetings of local organizers who were planning various events in response to the G8 Summit."

"Can we have unlimited resource consumption on a finite planet? Is it human "progress" to increase our "wants list" when the majority of humans on Earth cannot fulfill their "needs list"? Susan Meeker-Lowry, author "Economics as if the Earth Really Mattered", Maine Rev. Zack Lyde,"

What are we cheering about here? The guy was being an obnoxious ass, but since when is that a crime?

I’m against the cops busting non-violent political protestors, no matter what side the protestors are on. This guy’s confrontational tactics were strictly verbal, and unless I’m missing something he had every right to be there doing what he did.

And what’s this bull about a protest permit? I’m an American — I don’t need any damned permit to protest, and neither does anyone else!

I detest the Leftist rabble far more than does the average Freeper, but even the Leftist rabble have the right to protest freely in a pubic venue as long as they don’t get physical or otherwise violate the law or someone’s property rights. If the cops can bust this guy for protesting, they can do it to any of us.

Guy was obviously an idiot. He thought the race card would keep him from being arrested. These liberals actually think they rule the world now.
