"I made the decision to supersede the rules, and for that I apologize," Meyer wrote. "I should have acted calmer and obeyed the directives of the officers. If I had, none of the subsequent issues would ever have arisen."

Thank [various deities] we can now happily say that we live in a country where people can be legally whisked out of the room and then tasered into unconsciousness for asking politically uncomfortable questions in a somewhat raised voice.

Heck, the student should be thankful that he wasn't considered too politically subversive and just plain disappeared as an enemy combatant.

After all, since habeas corpus no longer has any real meaning, why should anybody give a rat's ass about 1st Amendment rights? To say nothing of police cruelty and harassment - such passe considerations - so last century!

"OMG. You don't know the whole story. Meyer rushed to the microphone ignoring the line, starts yelling in the microphone that Kerry should answer his question and mocks the police, while Kerry is answering the question of another student."


Exactly! Only the polite deserve not to be tasered, everyone knows that.

And mocking the police - he was just asking for trouble there. Is he crazy? Everybody I know agrees that when the Police are involved, the only thing to do is give them your ID papers, your religious affiliation materials, your Party credentials, and then you keep your eyes averted downwards until you are excused. The Police must be respected and obeyed at all times - they protect the Homeland.

Before we get too far into this, I just want to remind everyone that this is a week-old thread.
