Sometimes a good ZOT is just plain funny; especially when the ZOTee is an attention seeking doofus.

and the #1 thing overheard at the John Kerry speech tasering incident
1) “This is all Bush’s fault!”
Hell no.
The student was expressing his freedom of speech.
The university police were power-hungry thugs, frankly.
Kerry did not ask for his removal.
He offers to give up, puts his hands in the air, and they go into arrest him. That is when he starts resisting, only then.
The cops were in the wrong, and they should all be fired for this despicable display of an abuse of power.
Not everyone here agrees with the cops.
I am shocked so many agree with their actions.
Where does the Constitution say pranksters have no free speech rights?
Also, he was not pranking here. He was asking honest questions...with some rant mixed in.
There was no reason to remove him, and it was a clear violation of his rights.
