it would have been better to let him run himself out of steam if he were to ever stop .
when they began to take him away people began to applaud .
i think this student has been spending too much time in conspiracy 101 .
the full vid is more informative .
inciting a riot ? come on . it is charges like that that discredit the police . it is as if they will charge someone with anything .

This just dawned on me...they tasered this dude who was being kinda a jerk, but they didn't taser the guy on stage that supported the fucking war. I think he was more deserving of that...or being shot.

Huh, yea Kerry should have been forced to answer those crazy questions at least. I know seeing Kerry get tasered would pretty much be the highlight of my life.

Respect is earned not given.

You really have to watch the un-edited version to get the full story, plus you have to understand that this kid has a history of being a clown.

They did turn off the mic, mainly because he was talking about Clinton getting a "blow job". He was just asking for trouble. It was the event coordinators who wanted his mic turned down and then wanted him to leave when he wouldn't knock it off, which he refused to do. He wasn't getting arrested, but simply escorted out for disrupting the event, which he threw a big fit about and resisted. Then they proceeded to arrest him, and he still refused to cooperate, but instead he started screaming and dancing around like a moron.

This kid was a known prankster and was basically just doing this so he could get attention on Youtube.

Lesson #1: if a cop says "stop resisting or you'll be tasered", simply shut up and stop resisting. It's a no-brainer. Screaming "Get the F@#% off me" and squirming around like a worm is the dumbest thing you can do in that situation.

Deranged moron tries to be hero, causes a scene and then resists arrest, taunts the police, gets tasered for his efforts.

He brought it on himself.

Off-topic here but every teacher that would say this (and there were a lot of 'em) were usually the ones that had no trouble getting their students respect and attention. It's no surprise the teachers that had all the trouble never understood that concept.

Funny how that works.
