BAWAHHHHHH!!! I would have paid good money to see the look on Kennedy's face!
We need to give the young Mr. Trost the 'Sam Adams Civil Disobedience Award'. :-)
Glad to see that the spirit of rebellion against tyrants lives on somewhere in Massachusetts!
The teacher was problably researching it. Probably didn't even know about it.
Oh wow, good for him!!! That would be well worth some community service time.
Where is the ACLU protecting this mans "FREEDOM OF SPEECH?"
Any bets if they had yelled anything against the war to Bush or Cheney, it would be a freedom of speech issue?
Thank you for posting this, CrawDaddyCA- And thank you for your heroic performance, Paul Trost! Now, you better depart MA ASAP!
No booze for you!
Normally I'm not a fan of people yelling in a speech. Let what's going to be said be said. Comment afterward.
However, given the circumstances and the liberal lunatics who firebomb any speech given by a conservative, I think this kid needs to put up a fight.
As an aside, I don't know how many people in my generation really know about it. I have a buddy, and when a fine specimen of the female gender walks by, we'll just occasionally ask, "Chappaquiddick?" It basically means hop in, the water's fine and was one of those odd inside jokes that arose. Nobody seems to have a clue that we're even alluding to anything, which is probably good because that could easily get taken the wrong way.

"the congressman noted how the long-time senator overcame hardship in life on his way to success. "
WHAT HARDSHIPS? This is such a joke.
The kid says he's a liberal arts major and has protested against the war in Iraq, adding that he's not a ring-winger.
He also says he'll not apologize...lol.
The article states that today is the Swimmer's 74 th birthday.
That*s funny! They should give the kid an award. That took a lot of nerve. I*m sure Ted is going to use his power to make that kid*s life miserable.
I'm simply amazed how the left can actually support and hero worship a criminal like Ted Kennedy!
it's probably the only capital offense left in the massachussetts' penal code: yelling "remember chappaquidick".
Forgive him? FORGIVE HIM? Did they rewrite the state law to drop the statute of limitations on murder?
Is that a word?
Freedom of speech is a wonderful thing.
This student made a terrible error.
In the same period of time, he could have shouted "Chappaquiddick! Chappaquiddick!"
No need to say "remember" in this instance.
