--- Quote from: virtuoso on September 22, 2007, 12:28:30 PM ---Your analogy is terrible he wasn't trespassing, he wasn't being violent, or threatening. Questions were allowed to be asked, he asked a question and for that question they are trying to arrest him. Do you not understand that they are spitting on not just his rights under the first amendment but to everyones right, yes your's included?.
--- End quote ---

He was on someone else's property and they wanted him to leave, it's quite obvious.  And he was refusing to leave and doing everything possible to stay when he was not wanted. 
And they did not try to arrest him for asking a question.

virtuoso:

Lol are you kidding?, your response is like that of John Kerry's " I didn't know what was going on" the whole thing is just sick

Twentytwofifty:
It's quite simple:

Is this kid on his property and have the RIGHT to be there?...no
Did the people in charge of that property decide they did not want him there anymore?...yes
Did the kid throw a hissy fit when he realized they wanted him to leave?...yes
Did he do everything possible to prevent leaving?...yes

He would not have have been tasered or arrested if he just left quietly without a fight, but he's a shithead and decided not to take the easy route.

You see, you just can't let everyone do want they want in this society, there has to be some order or it will be chaos.

Sikotic™:
The kid got out of line so the cops put him in his place. You guys are too sensitive sometimes.

virtuoso:

Now wait a minute, he had every right to attend after all he was a student of the campus. Therefore what you are saying is he has every right to ask a question it's just don't ask any critical questions because then all of a sudden you don't have the right to be present. It looks as if the police have swooped in to arrest him and that is why he freaks "why are you arresting me" is the question he asks when the cop locks the students arm behind his back. So apart from the fact that he has had first amendment rights spat on, there is also the and what happens next after resisting the cops efforts, the student is then pinned to the floor and is then rolled on to his back, there are what 5 cops there, they have under control and yet they still tazor him! The only fortunate circumstance is the fact that he is present at a high profile speech otherwise he would have been tazored continuously. How the hell you can even debate any of this when it's plain to see what is happening is beyond me.

Oh as for this sick joke about tazors not being deadly, here is just a few examples
