Student Tasered after asking Kerry questions

Quote from james_bond_3rd:

Funny how the clueless conservatives jump to their assumptions without knowing all the facts.

The student was not giving Kerry a hard time. His question was along the line that Bush stole the 2004 election and was questioning Kerry why he didn't contest the result.

I guess the local police didn't want people to hear about it...

As usual, JB is way behind the curve. Don't tell me your going to dispute your fellow moonbat's account at Dailykos, are you?

Quote from dddooo:

Someone posted an alleged eyewitness account on dailykos.

"I was at the Kerry speech today, sitting 2 rows away from all the action. I'll let you know how it really went down.

The forum was going to be over at 2 pm, and Kerry spoke for so long that the Q and A portion had to be shortened. He only got through about 7 of the 50 people who were waiting to ask questions. While the final question was being read, some douchebag ran down the aisle, grabbed the mic from the other side of the room, interrupted the kid who was talking, and started yelling at Kerry, demanding that his questions be heard. He started ranting about how Kerry talks in circles or something, and everyone was getting annoyed. The cops are all over him in no time and try to escort him out, but he starts yelling and resisting. Kerry insists that they let him stay and even agrees to answer his question.

After the interrupted guy's question was answered, Kerry keeps his promise and lets the angry guy talk. This is the point where people started taking their cameras and phones out. All the videos floating around youtube start around here. You can see in the videos that his questioning gets kind of inappropriate, so somebody cut his mic. Instead of shutting up, he starts yelling and making an even bigger scene. He struggled all the way up the aisle, and started violently trying to free himself. They threatened to taze him and he wouldnt stop fighting, so he got tazed. They only had to arrest him because he was causing a disruption and wouldn't leave peacefully. He wasn't being silenced for asking tough questions, trust me.

It's a shame that they had to taze the guy, but he had a chance to calm down and didn't take it. He probably didn't pose a physical threat to anybody in the room, but someone can't just hijack the floor of a forum like that and expect not to get kicked out. This wasn't some poor guy who was brutalized for trying to ask some tough questions. He's just an obnoxious guy who had a fit when there wasn't time for his questions and refused to be calm even when he was given the chance to speak. He was looking for trouble, and everyone applauded when he was forced to leave.

I think this whole incident is a real hoot: a moonbat accuses a former Presidential candidate moonbat of throwing the election to Bush on the basis that they were both members of the same secret society in college. Then the accuser moonbat gets tasered, inciting comments by ET moonbats about neocon brutality. Then a post from that most moonbat of sites, DailyKos, explains that the moonbat was acting like a well, a moonbat.

Mel Brooks must have scripted this thing...oh wait, sorry, of course it was the evil Jewish/Zionist/oil cabal.
 
Well, we don't even know if the cops made the decision to remove the kid in the first place.

Maybe the organizers of the event/ Kerry's handlers requested that the kid be removed. There's also no evidence that the cops were going to arrest the kid for asking disruptive q's either. But when he resisted, the cops had every authority to subdue him and all bets are off.

And what's really easier on the kid, tasering or having your arms jacked up behind you, risking shoulder dislocation, breaking an arm, etc. In which case the kid could have a REAL case of police brutality.....

And why would a cop risk his/her career with a brutality charge and/or risk personal injury when a tool like a taser exists....
 
This entire event would have been much more entertaining had they simply tasered Kerry and let the poor kid ask his questions.

Yeah, listen to an ex pollie speak, or be tasered-heads/tails really, both excruciating and painful.

Or, for the real tin-foil brigade, consider;
Kerry started to answer.....and the cops jumped the kid, with voltage.

Q;Who are the likely skull and boners in this scenario?

:eek:
 
Quote from Dr. Zhivodka:

Shouldn't every student who questions authority be tasered and subdued?

WTF is wrong with you people.....aren't you conservative?

"Question authority" That was the mantra of the 60's. The new mantra is disrespect authority. Be rude, shout down speakers, uninvite speakers that hold different opinions. The student body of universities are one big behavior problem including the professors (re professors Duke comes to mind).
