Andrew Meyer Supports Ron Paul: Your Thoughts on Tasered Student?

You may have read recently of the unfortunate student, Andrew Mayer, who was tasered at a recent John Kerry event. Reports are claiming that the Florida student was a Ron Paul supporter, which is quite intriguing in that both have been stopped from broadcasting their opinions through the media in some way.
I feel as though people should be allowed to voice their opinions and support whomsoever they wish as long as it’s non-offensive.
As the student was being arrested, he yelled, “There are people that know I’m here. You can’t do things like that.”
“Oh my God. You’re giving me to the government. They’re giving me to the government. They’re giving me to the government.”
He then asked, “Can I get my camera back please?” That’s right. Andrew Meyer had a cameraman to film and upload his huge moment onto YouTube.
While reading through the myriad of comments about the incident many people across the web agree in saying that his speech was being hidden or “shut down” - “just like Ron Paul.”
Andrew Meyer and Ron Paul gain popularity successfully on the Internet from those that believe that America is deteriorating, especially with the healthcare crisis, economic crisis regarding mortgages and loans and also due to the falling dollar. Many believe that the elections are all a big hoax and that they’re fixed, with the media allegedly against them.
What do you think of Dr Paul and the tasered student? Are Ron Paul and Andrew Meyer similar in these respects?
Let’s hope the 71-year old congressman doesn’t get tasered any time soon.

Well Jeanette, again, in all fairness to Kerry, it’s kind of hard to answer someone’s questions while they are screaming is going on by a bunch of bystanders, the kid the cops grabbed, and the cops themselves. If he did answer it after, which he may have it was not taped. Maybe you were there and can tell me? I do not know what happened afterwards. Please do NOT think me a Kerry fan. I have not liked any politician to date but to blame Kerry for the police’s actions is not right either. I have mixed feelings on what was done both by Andrew and by the police. What I can tell you is that I believe that this country is quickly becoming the “communist state” we were so against not too many years ago and will continue to be unless we make radical changes.
I think University of Florida is a public school!!
As a former security officer, I can say having been in situations similar to this that the police in this particular scenario handled the situation badly from the moment they laid their hands on the student. The police should have simply let the student finish so as to avoid any confrontation. If it appeared that he was not going to let Senator Kerry answer, then they should have told him that his time was up. The last thing any person in law (private or public) should do is lay a hand on another human because is escalates the situation. Tazering the student was entirely out of line and those officers should serve a week in jail for that.
John Kerry AND George Bush have both been asked about their Skull and Bones membership before on “Meet the Press” with Tim Russert, and they SKIRTED THE ISSUE!
John Kerry didn’t answer that question on any of the tapes I saw. He merely answer the first question about the ‘04 election by saying that they didn’t have enough evidence at the time to act.
Elizabeth, you seem like an intelligent gal. Don’t stop analyzing there. If you want to know how far the rabbit hole truly goes, you should hold John Kerry to account on this Skull and Bones thing. The fact that only 15 members are chosen every year for that organization, yet a disproportionate number of its members end up in high ranking position in government again and again should tell you something about the reality of the system.
“Left” and “Right” in politics these days is just a means to keep us all divided and conquered. Ask yourself what really changes when a different party is elected. The parties are only there to give us the ILLUSION of choice. By now, the elections are completely rigged and everyone knows it. But we’re like one of the party members from Orwell’s “1984″, we use cognitive dissonance or “double-think” to convince ourselves that this is not the case.

@ William D Berg - “These people need to understand that when you’re on private property you don’t have the right to just speak beyond the allowed time by rules set up in the private establishment”
WRONG. universities get FEDERAL money to exist. This is the People’s property too.
You are an authoritarian and you support a Police State.
31 of the 33 killed by Cho in Virgina were killed after sub machine gun toting body armor wearing cops showed up. They cringed behind cars while people were executed. If on of the victims has a concealed firearm, there would be less dead. The supreme court said the Police have NO obligation to protect the people. Castle Rock v. Gonzales.
The police are citizens, not anything more. They like everyone else have to obey the same laws per the 14th amendment. This notion they get to do whatever they HELL they want is PURE CRAP.
Why is Kerry in Florida? Whats next? Gore in Ohio? Wasnt this a state funded university? What is the purpose of the (campus) police? To protect the citizens? Who were the people that, according to news reports, asked the police to handle Andrew? Are campus police paid by the tuition from Andrew (or his parents)? Whose interest are those officers protecting? Why let Kerry off so easy? Who was the one man that could have stopped Andrew from being tased? Did he? Did he answer Andrew’s question or give some stock response about “retrospect” and “needing more information”? Could the ACLU please get involved and get some punitive damages for a worthy charity (say 911 First Responders) to discourage any other state subsidized university from allowing this to happen? Do we need another Kent State? Who works for who here?
Elio Carrion. Today an UNARMED suspect what shot three times by a police officer in Chin, California.
The Police State is here. Unarmed people being tasered and shot by police is now common.

The motto Live Free or DIE means something. If you arent free, the authoritarians in control can try to kill you at any moment.
Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence?
* Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died.
* Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.
* Two lost their sons in the Revolutionary Army, another had two sons captured.
* Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War.
* They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
What kind of men were they?
* Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists.
* Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means and well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died Bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed His wife, and she died within a few months. John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart.
Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates.
Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more.
Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: “For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.”
They gave you and me a free and independent America. Some of us take These liberties so much for granted … We shouldn’t.
