. "But those security jocks were DYING to use that tazer on somebody, anybody and jumped right on the chance"

This has no basis on what actually happened. He wasn't tased until over 2 minutes after the mic was cut, which was the SECOND time they tried to get him to walk out and he refused. that isn't even close to "jumping on the chance" to tase someone. How many times did they calmly warn him before tasing him? Quite a few.

Free speech, we all miss you.

Oh, and the US: enjoy your gestapo.

Rob seems to have a lot of friends on this page. Thanks for clearing up what really happened for us! From now on I will not ask any questions and just do what I'm told....... or else.

hangingonat60, the reason the Police were right there was that Meyer had already broken 2 laws prior to being allowed to the mic & AFTER the Q&A had been announced to be OVER. He was allowed to the mic at Kerry's request but ACCENT & Police honoring his request did NOT mean that he was immune from forum rules & it did NOT mean that Police were to forget Meyer's earlier, ILLEGAL, actions. Watch WUFT Video Andrew Meyer if you want to see the most complete video of that days events I've seen.

But, that was his second chance. He already had been up there to ask a question, overstepped his bounds for a second question which they let him have anyway, and then started to be vulgar when he mentioned Clinton's "blow job" so they started to remove him. That's why the cops are so close to him, they're there because he had to be escorted.

Kerry didn't even know the guy got tased until later.
