“New details cast doubt on Tasered student incident.”

The videos I saw did not show Meyer cutting to the front of the line. Did that really happen? Otherwise, the description you give from Michelle Malkin was an accurate one. Meyer was a typical spirited student with lots of misinformation. Other than the reference to Bill Clinton, his questions, if answered by Kerry, would have been very revealing. If one were to characterize his questions, they were supportive of John Kerry. There was nothing in their nature that was inflammatory to Kerry. What would have happened if he asked Kerry if his medals from his Swift Boat days were legitimate? There would have been a real riot. The idea that such events are poised as a free and open discussion of ideas are indeed deceiving. Judging from the treatment of Meyer, these events are a controlled and manipulative vehicle for a political message to be fed to a captive audience. The exercise is not a free exchange of ideas as you well saw.

Meyer has a good case for a lawsuit against the University of Florida.

There is a long article on FNC now that details this kid’s history of setting up and filming stunts, his intent to create and film the incident, his far different behavior when there were no cameras, and his statement to cops that “they were doing their jobs”.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,297287,00.html

If we are just arguing about whether he was pro-Kerry or not, that is a misunderstanding. I meant it was embarrassing to Kerry, which was good, but nonetheless I thought the cops acted appropriately. Kind of an “anything embarrassing to JF’inK is good”, but....” No question the kid is a libtard, but the mere fact of the incident, the Skull N Bones question, the use of the term BJ, and the impeachment issue were embarrassing to F’in, and lead me to believe the kid meant to embarrass him - a la Cindy Sheehan and Pelosi. I never thought he was a conservative heckler.

If Meyer was setting up his questions to embarrass Kerry, it was ingenious. The kid should also go into acting because he gave his statement and questions in a convincing way.

In my devious way, I would have loved to pull the same stunt on Kerry. I would go into some dialog about the Bohemian Grove and suggest that Kerry was videoed attending one of its ceremonies. It would be hilarious to see how he spun out of that question and get it on video.

I have often thought it would be good to get into an anti-war parade with a sign saying “Caution, drug sniffing dogs ahead” or dress up in a USSR Gimnasterka Jacket with a sign saying, “Communist Party for socialism in America.”

This story is going to get better. I just know it.

I looked at the website. Where is the reference to Meyer? Not that would be a real hoot if it were true.

New discussion: One of our members is TASERED...
Added by Neal Conner on September 18, 2007
“One of members, Andrew Meyer, was tasered and arrested today (Monday) at a speaking event by John Kerry for asking him a question! He is currently being held in jail. There will be a protest in support

If you scroll down, you see members saying “one of our meetup group members, Andrew......

He is a “journalist, broadcast major”, it figures, now we will have all new generations of conspirazoids, lol!

I agree. The kid wanted a payoff or something. Also, didn't Kerry reaction come way late?

Was the kid arrested by real police or security guards? I saw them wear baseball caps.

I read the comments. One attorney is offering his services. This will get a life of its own. Attornies will be fighting to get their hands on this case. The smell of money will fill up flights into Gainsville.

For me? AHHHHH! The smell of popcorn!

My dog likes popcorn.

“’I was not aware that a taser was used until after I left the building,’ . . .”


Don’t deceive me, Bro, don’t deceive me.

Campus cops are real police, I believe. I know the ones at my university were highly trained and functioned like a real police establishment.

Apparently this kid is a known practical joker who likes to have his stunts caught on video. I suspect he was having us all on.

That sounds very plausible.

The guy’s leadership qualities are so profound that he had no inclination to stop the attack, BEFORE it escalated.

In fact, his first inclination was to revert to type and lie about what he saw, so as to avoid responsibility for his inaction.

Had to be put to ‘global press fallout test’ b4 Kerry could react.
