A UF student was shot with a Taser gun today at a campus forum with U.S. Sen. John Kerry.
Andrew Meyer, a telecommunication senior, yelled out to Kerry, a Democrat from Massachusetts, and insisted his questions be answered while police tried to restrain him.
Meyer shouted that the senator should answer everyones questions. Kerry was brought to UF by Accent, Student Governments speakers bureau.
Kerry said it would "be fair" to answer Meyers question, and police allowed Meyer to approach one of the microphones set up in the University Auditorium.
Kerry finished answering a previous question, which was intended to be the last question for the forum at about 1:30 p.m.
During Meyers question, his microphone was cut off, and police tried to move him away from the microphone. Steven Blank, Accents chairman, said Meyer was cut off because he used profanity and his question was too long.
When police moved him away, Meyer resisted and began to yell out to the audience, asking "What did I do? What am I being arrested for?"
Two officers tried to handcuff and restrain Meyer while another pointed a Taser at him.
As they moved Meyer closer to the auditorium exit, Meyer screamed for help.
Once Meyer was removed, Kerry continued to answer Meyers question about why he did not contest the 2004 election.
Hillary knows to look for the UNION label when hiring rent-a-goons.
He really needed a gag in addition to the tasering. He didn’t stop shouting for the entire video; he seems to think he’s the only person on the planet who has the right to speak.
Maybe he asked for what F’n stands for? LOL!
He sure did. He was a disruptive, histrionic leftwing ranting trouble-maker playing to the camera trying to make a name for himself. Kinda reminded me of the tactics a young John Kerry would have used.
After viewing the video...he got what he deserved.
Why it's farming of course!
I watched more than half of the stupid video, and if I were a cop there I would have tasered him the 1st minute.
I would have tasered Kerry as well, just on general principle.

Thats just corny! Wonfer who that flit is next to him?
She looks like the paper doilies you buy to decorate appetizer trays at parties
Wonfer=wonder Aw, shucks!
Watch the second half - he starts claiming that the police are going to make him "disappear" - "They're going to try to kill me! People know I'm here!" - drivel like that. He's an obnoxious little piece of s***.
I’ve often wondered why the disruptive communist at conservative forums aren’t tasered. They scream and yell or dress themselves in hoods. They should be tasered and dragged away.
Not needed, I’m not a FR grammer nut.
Nothing 15 years in a Cuban prison won’t cure.
I would hate to be slowly removing food from a tray only for that to be revealed. Yikes!
Don’t question those better than you....peasant
Thanks, I am especially glad you are not a typing nut.
LOL!
The recycled, bleached, perforated and ultimately trashed ones? :-)
