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 everyone’s questions. Kerry was brought to UF by Accent, Student Government’s speakers bureau.
Kerry said it would "be fair" to answer Meyer’s 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 Meyer’s question, his microphone was cut off, and police tried to move him away from the microphone. Steven Blank, Accent’s 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 Meyer’s question about why he did not contest the 2004 election.
You caught it! very good. :^)
You’re right I finally got it to load, the idiot doesn’t think kerry is left wing enough......sigh
I am always pretty good at catching my own errors. Most of the time it’s just too late.
Sad for me. Funny for others.
Take a close look at #33. It’s not quite right. :^)
LOL, I have to say, I don’t have a clue what this nimrod did......other than spout his left wing bs........really kind of scary....plus this guy is the ultimate sissy.......I think it’s staged
Yeah, grammar, typos, idiocy. At least we care!
I swear, I used to be a good speller until FR. It is a catching disease.
Well you know. It’s the thought that counts. Great conservative values./s snicker, snicker
Probably, it can make Jon Cary look like a victim.
What is surpising is that real people can actually sit and listen to him for more than 5 minutes.
They should have tasered him when he first started his question..... ;>)
Medals? You want medals?
will the kid get a purple heart?
Oh $hit.
git yer ammo stocked.
Yes I just watched it again.......trust me if this moron had been tasered, last thing he would be worried about is his camera....this is total BS......
Purple Heart Canidate Ping! /s
I agree the kid was an ass, but still I wonder why was he arrested?
I’m not sure why he felt the officers were going to kill him though, that’s a little much, although tasering him was totally inappropriate.
Guess he has a lawsuit
I am sure that guy must be a right winger, or...or maybe a Christian even. /s
One of the vassals tries to speak.
It is kinda funny though. Can’t help it, it is.
