I think he is title to ask a question about anything. If anyone who know the history of the Skull and Bones, makes you wonder what type of president we do have. He claim he a christian, why join that group in the first place.  Doesn't show good morles on his part.

Classic.

"Hey why dont you end this illegal and immora..OW AHH THAT HURTS SH*** STOP!!!  hahahahaaaa!!  Way to go Kerry!!

Well if it was Kerry that had this guy removed, then its a crock of crap. Everyone is entitled to freedom of speech, he wasnt being violent or irrational, and he was removed with force and then tasered. BOOOO @ KERRY AND THE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS......CAN U SAY LAW SUITE? I SURE THE HELL CAN !!!  This guy was asking questions, about the 2004 elections and look at what happened, sheesh I would hate to see what woulda happened to him if he asked Kerry of he was a ***, cuz what he did was straight up GAY!!! Kinda makes ya wonder why Kerry did what he did during the 04 elections.............

ohh yea and asking bout impeaching bush and the skull and bones society, i forgot to add that as well. thats still no reason for the happenings that followed !!

freedom of speech hopefully is still legal in america, a rule for this politically correct  era is dont tell people with more power than you, THE TRUTH. politics today is similar ro 50-60 years ago;[ shhhhh -toilet paper]  if you get that, youll understand this paticular issue; for the caucasions only; its time  we shake up the political system, but talk is cheap; money talks ,bull**** WALKS. the right peoplew in office might put a dent in the system; the clintons have that kind of backing; forget about that repulican smering and sexual set ups; they can make a difference

Ask a question - Get taserd. Where are we headed America ?

This incident is a prime example on how our country's government is reacting to any form of protests.  They know all to well that Americans are fed up with our "elected leaders" from school boards to Washington.  Thus they have been developing non lethal weapons to put down any and all protests.  They do not want another Kent State.  Slowly all our freedoms are being taken away and until we sweep the temple clean nothing will change.  VOTE !

The student bodies of college campuses take on the wrong tactic.  Gandhi was the best coordinator of agendas of protest.  This guy is lucky that all he got was tased.  Pepper spray is a lot worse.  I commend the law enforcement officers for their choice in neutralization of the situation.  Folks, we're in different times now.  Mr. Kerry is an internatiional figure in affilialtion not only with his office, but family ties to a major company.  I wouldn't have been certain that this male was a college student.  The enemy has taken many forms.  I'm glad that he is a college student.

hey gator, go home and fast for  3 months; the government will deliver- [a body bag] ghandi tactics never will work today; you see untouchables laying around the street, oops you do; in todays society its the connection to power that will help change things; also the press or the net can help, bo only with minorities playing the race card. although very religious, and honorable, ghandi  is outdated in this sick society. its true also, that liberals and protesaters of today, dont share the same value system of 40 years ago.there issues are more shallow and related to computers and hip hop generation. believe me 40 years ago , if there was a hip hop generation subculture, we may have been driven to violence.

VOTE FOR KERRY "" or you'll get tasered !!!!"" thats a hell of a slogan huh....rofl !!

FREEDOM OF SPEECH LAST I NEW...........

Rob, what's a LAW SUITE?  The internet is no excuse for not using spell check.  I think the kid planned this all and wanted to get tasered.  Kerry was trying to answer his questions, so he didn't have the security take him down.  Here's your sign, dumba$$.

If the kid had walked out with the cuffs on then he would not have been taserd. If he hurt himself with handcuffs on or hurt someone else then the police could have been sued. They followed police procedure.
If you had cuffs on would you not follow orders when given a choice of being taserd?
Why did Kerry NOT stop his Q & A session and say to security....STOP!!

spell check will offer up suite or suit..you have to make the right choice.

Gator...Come on!!!!  The police were justified to taser a student who was asking questions?  Is it not our right as citizens to question our elected officials?  What makes Kerry above this?  From what I saw he was not making any threats towards the Senator.  The cops went to far.  Government should get its power from the people.  According to John Locke when a governemt becomes too powerful or corrupt, it is the duty of the citizens to change that government.  SOund like we need to start with Kerry and the police who went too far.

 Vietnam. Rodney King. Watergate. Senseless death & mutilation of our brave, young men of the Armed Forces in the name of DEMOCRACY. Is it all that suprising that a student gets tasered for exercising his Constitutional Rights? I counted five (5) officers restraining that student, & then seeing it necessary to INJURY to INSULT (!) At least he wasn't shot to death by several Police Officers, reaching for his wallet, in a dark doorway in NYC. What next????????

Gator...have you watched the same video I have? This student went to the head of the line and was disruptive to a legitimate Q & A process that was orderly. Disrupting the civil rights of the other 500 students does not give him a free pass for being a loud mouth jerk. He was asked to leave nicely. He did not. He was handcuffed and asked to follow the officers. he did not. When he started THRASHING and resisting their efforts to remove him , so the civil liberties of the other 500 were upheld, he was tasered to PREVENT injury to himself and the officers he had already STRUCK.
CNYGUY...how you connect vietnam , rodney king (who is now in jail) and Watergate with this nitwit in Florida is  beyond belief..so we will  be like HIlary and suspend believablity.
He was subdued by 5 or 6 police officers, some of whom were assaulted by this man. He was subdued SAFELY as per written procedure for a suspect in handcuffs who is thrashing about.
Why are you not concerned about all the  Chinese funny money that Norman Hsu has given to this Democracy? I meant Democrats....

 Duane... Sounds like you might be in law inforcement yourself. You did, however, give me reason to go back & look @ two videos - looking for any sign(s) of officers being struck by this so called "Loud-Mouthed Jerk" (your words), & saw no such event. Personally, I think you are missing the point: This whole episode could have been eliminated, if only this student had been allowed to speak his mind. I also didn't hear any hecklers in the crowd who objected to his questions. Granted, he was annoying, but didn't need to be restrained by a half-dozen officials. You make it sound as though these officers were doing him a favor by acting in this fashion! I'd be willing to bet that he doesn't view it as you seem to. Republicans - LoL!!

Oh yeah - Looking back @ Duane's comments, I can't help but think that that he is rather critical of others. RE: correcting strangers about their spelling! Got Friends??

Duane
What Civil Liberties was he preventing?  Yes he was disruptive, but was he in any way preventing the rights of others?  He was not yelling "FIRE" in a crowded movie theatre.  He was exercising his right to question the elected officials.  I did not realize that yelling in public was against the law.  The police went too far.  

Re: video striking officer...look at when  he was being cuffed. He strikes an officer in the side of the face.
Re: yelling fire in a crowded theater: same idea when one person usurps the civil liberties of others by now allowing a discussion but insisting on his narcissitic viewpoint be heard. I understand that Kerry was in the process of answering his question but this person would not be quiet and hear the answer. I don't think his agenda was to get answers to his questions. Yelling in public if you create a nuisance is indeed a violation. Is the forum he chose a public forum? He was  not on a street corner but at a University function. Were there tickets to get in? He could have been on a soap box on the street corner but he chose a University press conference , for lack of a better term, to get on his soap box. Unlike the street corner where you and I can walk past him and make the choice to listen or not. The 500 people who had a ticket did not have that choice. He has every right in the world to ask questions of an elected official..no question about it. He does NOT have the right to disrupt a university conference.
Re: spelling. I never corrected any one's spelling. I did say that spell check has 2 versions of suit/suite. It leaves the choice of the correct useage to the writer who must have the brains to choose correctly.

You can not compare disrupting a speech with yelling "FIRE" in a theatre.  He was not stepping on ANYONE"S liberties.  In this country it is not crime in being an A#@!hole, which is what he was doing.  What he was doing was not polite, however not illegal.  If he was there legally then why were his rights taken away?  Lets understand that he was a jerk for disrupting the other people there, be he did not put them in any danger which would have violated his rights.  Maybe the University should take some of the responsibility for not allowing certain people to attend.  

hey duane, ill give you rights to speak your mind , nbefore i taser you; it sounds like something you deserve; ignoring the bill of rights for your own pleasure, will get you alot of pain.

pca_01 how can you say he was not disrupting anyone's liberties when that is what he did by taking away the other 500 people right to also be heard. We agree that we all have a right to lawful assembly and protest. Your IF is a good one::: IF HE WAS THERE LEGALLY. That is something that has yet to come out.
If you think you have to be in danger to violate someone's rights then what about all the voters who might be denied the right to vote because they don't have a picture ID? I think you meant (be he did not put them in any danger which would have violated his rights.  Maybe the University should take some of the responsibility for not allowing certain people to attend. ) that would have violated their rights. The University has a lot of culpability as the "en loci parenti." You have made another point we agree on.
Jon_ch : how is letting me have a free discourse of ideas then tasering me something I deserve? Have I called you names or anything?

How does not having a picture ID violate rights to vote?  You are not denying someones rights to vote by requiring them to prove that they are not committing voter fraud.  What liberties was he taking away from them??? The only way he would be taking away their rights is if he FORCED the people to leave.  He did not do this.  Again what he did was rude, but not illegal.  He caused the others to be possibly inconvienced, but did not take away their rights.  He caused no injury to any one who was there in attendance who wanted to hear Senator Kerry.  He should be charged with some punishment for not listening to the police, but he had a right to say what he did say.  i still think that being tasered with all the poilce there was over the top.  If all those poilce could not control and remove this guy then my bigger concern would be how effective the police are in protcting the students.  

Well there is a political party that has obstructed having a photo ID to prevent voter fraud because it would infringe on the voters rights. That is not my thinking, just a quote from the news about the democratic party obstructing needing a photo ID. You said :he did not put them in any danger which would have violated his rights. My point is THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE IN DANGER TO HAVE YOUR RIGHTS VIOLATED.
Again we agree: the police were over the top in their response. I said that a rational person would have followed the police and campus security verbal instructions.
Are you conversant with the laws of Florida and that county to say that he did nothing illegal? If he signed a standard enrollment student rights package , like the blogosphere thing we signed to post comments, then he violated that agreement to be a "good student".

I was listening to ABC Good morning America before I had to leave the house. They said that there were 3 of these tasering with the suspect in handcuffs THIS WEEK ALONE!!!  They showed this student and some hapless drunk woman handcuffed in the back of a police cruiser when she was tasered.
I don't have the details but unlike this student: HOW MUCH DAMAGE ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO THE BACKSEAT OF A POLICE CAR?

duane, you obviouysly are in law enforcement; good for you, this is a time you can violate peoples rights; im for law and order, but you brave police keep missing the targets. that would be all the violent crime in the inner city. you big brave policemen never erase or taser those paticular problems; gee, i wonder why; look at jeena 6 and thats the reason why . if you had integrity and honor as i did 33 years ago alone in CAM , WE WOULD FEEL SAFER INTHE CITY LIMITS, YOU CANT TWIST THE  BILL OF RIGHTS TO FIT YOUR HASTY DECISIONS. WERENT YOU AT KENT STATE, IM SURE THAT WAS YOU.

Jon, No..I am not in Law Enforcement at all. How anyone can get Cambodia, Kent state, the Jeena 6 into one subject is beyond me...I suspending believability again. I was a grad student at SU when the Kent State incident took place. Now that you know I am not in law enforcement that kinda blows your whole paragraph there jon.........

I think you missing the big picture. I am in the military and even I thought that was extreme. By the way how did you know it was 500 students in the line in front of him?
Yes your definitely not in law enforcement, There was a sufficient number of police officers the to subdue him, plus I didn't hear them give a him warning they were going to use the taser if he didn't comply. I just aquat that to poor quality of officers. The real question is who gave the order to take him out? John Kerry was asked a valid question but did not answer. not even in his statement to the press about the student. My fellow Americans need to wake up and give their collective media minds a shake.

hey Rob I agree with you 100% that was some gay ass stunt kerry pulled the guy asked him a question that he didnt like so he had him tasered. kerry must be going thrue some horrible menapause

yea i feel srry for that guy, and i mean how can the cops do that, they are to protect and serve the people, they are put in charge to protect our rights as a citizen, no to take them away. He didnt do anything except ask a question and the cops jumped him, AMERICA IS A POLICE RUN STATE < ITS NOT BECOMING A POLICE RUN STATE, it already is........ what are we the people gonna do when our own protection is being used against us, hahaha and ppl actually thin that this is fnny they are makin stupid rap videos on this matter instead of taking it serious

we gotta stop voting for new presidents, we gotta stand up first and take our country back from these bastards behind the scens of the white house, we all no that the president, really has no power against these typhoons, so even if ron paul gets ellected he still gonna be used as a pupet to give orders to us sheeple, we need to do research inform everyone of this matter, its quite clear we need to grow up as humans , evolve as people or simply just roll over and die simply sighn our freedoms over to these ass holes, or we can bring these ass holes to justice, im sick of watin

Damien, What kool-aid are you drinking? We are a a nation of laws. Too many laws at times, or so it seems to me.
Blackwater----so the woman in the airport was handcuffed and NOT tasered..but died! She strangled herself on the cuffs trying to free herself. YOu can't win either way with you people. How do you know there was no one in front of him at all? All newsreports said that he went to the front of line past students in line. Ever heard of a hyperbole????
JEEEZE
