I would have tasered Kerry as well, just on general principle.

LOL. I can see it now. You, another Freeper and a taser.

You: (Tasering Kerry) "Wow, just look at that sucker, flipping around on the floor like a fish out of water!"

Other Freeper: (leaning over Kerry, listening) "Wait, he's trying to say something!"

You: "What's he saying?"

Other Freeper: (listening closely for a moment) "He's said, 'I'll have another please'".

You: (taking careful aim) "Whoa, all right! Stand back everyone. INCOMING, Senator Kerry!"

One of the vassals tries to speak.

“We will have none of that. Arrest that subject and take him away. His questions annoy me.”

Lord Kerry was heard saying as they pulled the subject from his presence.

The auditorium wasn’t even half full, just the front seating section. Kerry sure can draw a crowd. It’s also obvious that the disrupter didn’t care if it was Kerry who won in 2004, he just wanted Bush to lose. He must have a chronic case of BDS.

IMO, the cops acted to quickly to shut him down. They should have let Kerry attempt to control the situation first. With Kerry’s leadership skills I’m sure he would have failed miserably, the punk would have gone further off the deep end, and then they could have tasered him without it looking so much like brutality.

She looks like the paper doilies you buy to decorate appetizer trays at parties

I think they are trying to show her softer more feminine, not a cold fish side. I don't think it is working for her. She sure looks like a doily.

Were you aware he served in Viet Nam?

I look at that picture and think of “Toilet Seat Doilies”.
A perfect frame.

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.

It's simple, really. He was being dragged to Bush's gulags, his noble voice extinguished for all time. Months of panty torture and dog collars, then - death. Oh, the humanity! "Tell the world my story."

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 am pretty much with you. You don't struggle with cops. An individual audience member is also not allowed to hijack a public forum for a speech and a whole string of questions, refusing to yield the mike.

OTH, it is quite unfair in that the Left behaves like this all the time. And not just at a rowdy college meeting but at congressional hearings. At least, they disrupt like this. I guess mostly they are smart enough not to fight with the cops when they get thrown out, which always appears to happen gently. (I'd ~love~ to see Cindy and Medea get zapped...and I won't say where.)

I noticed in the video that you could hear laughter in the audience when he was tasered.

After watching the full video this guy deserved it. He was obviously a crazy Moonbat. The Democrats created these pigs, and now they have to live with it. LOL

Watching this and the C-Span coverage of the D.C. anti-war protest shows just how much of a problem the Democrats have on their hands. They may have a major problem controlling these Moonbats at their convention.

I think once he starting using the crude language the officers stepped in. It just escalated from that point. While he was down he seemed to be asking the audience to step in and save him.

Want to bet he is a KOS kid?

If I had to sit through a J Francois Kerry diatribe, I would need to be tasered just to get my heart to start beating again. What a bore!

Gotta love leftist tasering other leftists because they don’t like the question.

I thought that the whole incident was pretty cool. The student didn't get hurt........

but Kerry did.

The jack-booted thug image was strong...with the little girly-cop wagging her little finger in the mean 'ol "protesters" face and admonishing him to "calm down"....not even letting him set down to shake off the effects of getting tasered.

Way to go John F'n.....heh heh heh

I saw it on the Today Show and even Ann Curry wasn’t buying it. Looked like a sicko whackjob ‘performance piece’ to me!

This upsets me. Laura Ingraham was playing an audio of the incident and laughing about the student and what a baby he was being.

Frankly, I think this is reprehensible. I’ve heard stories of police using pretty rough force on pro-life demonstrators too.

Guess it’s easy to be a bully when you have guns and tasers.
