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.

Hope you enjoy the camps William. Your whole post made me cringe. You don’t beat up a woman because she talks during a game. Haven’t you ever heard of the First Amendment? Rightly so, Andrew Meyer had every right to ask a question and the cops had no right to taser him. That IS treason. Treason against the American people and their freedom of speech. This isn’t about one boy, its about all of us. If cops treat a boy like that for asking a question, imagine what they might do to you. This isn’t an isolated incident. It’s happening all over the country.

The people are speaking against this oppression.
I don’t know, from what I’ve been reading, Meyer is a film student who wanted to make some waves. I don’t know if it’s true, but what I’ve read is that he had his own guy filming him asking the questions, and then asked the cops if he could have his camera back. I’m not even sure he was really tasered! If someone is touching you while you get tasered, doesn’t he get some amount of electric current coursing through his body? If you watch the video, you can hear the “taser,” but where are all the cops? Right on top of him!

Hi Elizabeth, I was not suggesting you are a Kerry supporter, and if you are, to me, that is your right. It just bothers me that we are not hearing Kerry’s answers, because I watched several versions of the tasing, and I thought Mr. Meyer started out fine, but I noticed he was provoked, while he was speaking several times, to which I admit, I too would have acted like Mr. Meyers, if it my turn and I had felt my question needed a preface knowing most people had not read the book, or understood that the book informed the public why and how Kerry had won the election. All the media on this issue focuses on Mr. Meyers and his actions and attitude, are missing a very important point, “What were Kerry’s answers?”. We don’t know, and no one appears to be asking, but me and very few others, too few others. I hope you join me in asking, “What were Kerry’s answers?” Surely, with all the videos, someone should have a tape of that, and why are not not publishishing it on YouTube?
Yes, I would like to know what the answers are and yes, you would think someone would have taped it. I have not found the answers or anything that happened before or after this student but I was glad to see that at the very least Kerry did make some attempt, however mild, to stop the police. My #1 question though, even more then Kerry’s answers, is why so many cops felt the need to use a taser in the first place. As to Kerry’s answers, well, I doubt we will know, at least until they may be asked again.
Our whole system is in desperate need of an overhaul before we become the next communist society.
Does anyone else things are amiss in this scenario?
How about this:
1) Does he have someone film him because he thinks he’s going to be arrested and there may be polive brutality involved? Or because he wanted to hear Senator Kerry’s response and put THAT on the internet?
2) Why didn’t the police ecort Mr. Meyer him out?
3) Why did the police fai to say in an audible manner considering that the KNEW they were on camera that Mr. Meyer was under arrest and read him his rights.
3) Why was it necessary to tase him in front of so many people? We talk about respect in others’ homes and places of business but I sure don’t want someone kicking someone else around in my house. What’s more: I don’t want anyone kicking anyone around in my presence - PERIOD!
This proves a lack of mental sanity on everyones’ behalf. And it is one more isolated incident that will prove this country’s undoing.

For instance:
1) Does Mr. Meyer have someone film him because he thinks he’s going to be arrested and there may be police brutality involved? Or because he wanted to hear Senator Kerry’s response and put THAT on the internet?
2) Why didn’t the police escort Mr. Meyer out of the building?
3) Why did the police fail to say in an audible manner, considering that the KNEW they were on camera, that Mr. Meyer was under arrest and read him his rights?

Elizebeth…they need better cops? One cop was a female and she got flung around like a rag doll. Watch the video without sound. You will see a resisting man, wildly flaleeing arms and no cooperation. He got what he deserved
