Annoying student tasered

I started this conversation on e-thepeople about an annoying student who got tasered because he got angry when he was cut off at a forum featuring John Kerry at the University of Florida. Here’s the video of the incident:

I think two wrongs don’t make a right: neither the cops nor the student come off very well. But dozens have died by taser, so I think the cops created the graver error. I think I’m in the minority on this one. Typical comment: “[The kid] makes it a habit to be annoying and in fact on his own web site takes glee in showing how much of an ass he is.” And from the top comment on e-thePeople: “[Cops] should have done it sooner.”

But my favorite one is: “”If simply being annoying warranted a taser, step away from ETP’s server when the Moonbats are online!”

Thanks Matt. The first part shows in all too gory detail how annoying this guy was. However, it’s unfortunate that the person shooting the video was blocked from really seeing how the cops tried to subdue and then taser this guy.

How did you find this blog? Thanks for your contribution.
