    I've got no worries about getting jumped and tasered by the cops. And I never will. The guy had it coming. I'm glad he got it.

    Anyone who needs to throw out terms like "Gestapo" is full-out admitting they've already lost the argument.

    I hope you never have run ins with the police deskslave. If a cop tells you to jump you jump. If you have a problem with that you bring it up later in a courtroom. Thats just the way it works.

    Young white male ... here we go, OJ is in the house. Love when the race card is played for no reason at all.

    Tony, do you throw rocks at little kids when they cut through your lawn?

    I'm not gonna say I don't agree with you here. But I just find the whole thing utterly F'n stupid. Considering there was no reason to arrest him in the first place.

    And Old Tony. I'm glad you approve of this considering the kid was asking a legit question that obviously Johnny Nuthin didn't want to have to deal with.

    And Tony, you are also right about my using the Gestapo. I don't know why I stooped to the level of Liberals on here, who constantly use that against the current administration.

    I apologize for that.

    When his mike was turned off, the kid turned and waved his arms, book in hand, thanking them for turning his mike off.

    That's when the cops grabbed him, and they'll likely say they felt threatened by his dangerous book. And in a way, their type probably is threatened by books.

    Still . . .that's a crazy ending.

    "Don't taser me, bro!"

    "Do it."

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    And girls crying. It's weird; in some places, some eras, there would have been a riot. Instead, these asses cheered police dragging kid away. Of course, kid should have racheted down his righteousness as soon as the odds turned. Maybe he knew those cops would only get harsher if he yelled.
     
  8. I imagine being Tasered is quite painful.

    Still, the wailing at the end of the video didn't exact score points. Let out a few F-bombs. Yell obscenities at the police. Shout at bystanders. But don't cry like a girl.

    Bingo. To sum it up, this kid got arrested because he was annoying the almighty university police. Trust me, that kid was just the type of kid I hate. But fuck, I don't think I could tazer him for that reason

    University police are a fucking joke.

    Also, Tasers are supposed to be used only in gun situations, as a substitute to shooting someone in a life-threatening situation. Or along those guidelines, at least.

    There were six cops on this guy. Tell me they couldn't just put him down, handcuff him and walk him out.

    No problem, Red. I always enjoy your posts and there's nothing that says we have to agree about eveyrthing -- or even a majority of things. I've got nothing against anyone here -- although some have something against me -- but I do have my views and others have their views.

    In my view, that kid was a diva/attention whore trying to provoke exactly what happened. The event organizer has every right to cut off his mike and ask that he be removed. That the diva turned it into a tasering is on him.

    Actually, I wish the kids would cut through my lawn so it wouldn't have to be mowed as often.

    Does remind me of the old college days, however, where I used to yell "GET OFF MY LAWN!" out of my dorm room window as a joke. By the end of the semester all my friends on the floor were doing the same.
