I just cannot tell you how much this video tore into me. Watching this student attacked for his simple question brought me to my feet. Watching the United States subjects sitting there like stupid Jell-O molds while an American was being attacked, beaten, and electrocuted. Sitting tamely like hypnotized idiots watching a fellow human degraded and damaged for asking a question is beyond pale.
What has come of this country? What has become of Americans? Forget the idiot black shirted, jackbooted storm troopers stun gunning a college student for asking a touchy question in a question and answer session. Just look at the people. The ones you should care about. They sat there. They looked on in horror and covered their eyes. This is the fate of those who step for freedom? To ask a question? There is no act I can think of more horrid than John Kerry standing there doing nothing. Saying nothing and allowing this whole travesty to freedom, freedom of speech, right to dignity as a human, just beyond repugnant. John Kerry is the leader of those people who also did nothing. John Kerry could have stopped it all with one word. The people could have stopped it with action. No one did anything. You are all a shame.

Freedom of speech - pahhhh
The Cut Off Signal
The cut off signal came when Andrew Meyer said the words "impeach Bush" Then the guy in the suit with the light blue tie behind the University of Florida Police Department officers make the cut off signal to confirm the order and then stepped back. Ironically, Mr. Meyer was speaking to Mr. Kerry about the Greg Palast book "Armed Madhouse".
Here is an unedited phonecam version
Are there no real Americans left?
Incredible. The amazing abuse of freedom. Catching the actual perps setting up to strip the man of his right to peaceably ask questions in a public forum is madness.
The puppets we are surrounded with seem to think that freedom can have such things as restrictions. Freedom restricted? Why it is not freedom; it is restrictions! A restricted society with kowtowing subjects who agree that to stand for your rights is wrong. Something is terribly wrong here.
Where is Jackie Chan When You Need Him
All I want to know is why people think that was okay? Do they feel that he can suffer and sue the government for their abuse later? Never happens. The man was attacked for no other reason than asking questions, not even harsh ones, and in a polite manner. What the hell is wrong? I would have been fighting mad at that encounter. Am I some throwback to prehistoric corporate America?
This is the worse thing I have seen since the government shot students in Ohio. They were marching. He asked a question. Freedom has a meaning and it is lost on these Americans. They are sitting for their rights hoping they come in microwavable containers that they can take home and enjoy in the easy chair.
Nobody is going to allow freedom to such suckers.
This was a staged event
I believe that this was a staged event. Clarissa Jessup can be seen behind the University of Florida Police Department officers. She not only has a very steady hand but appears to have the cooperation of the police. She is also very careful to keep the man in the far right in the white shirt and tie out of the frame when the signal was given to the group beside her. There are also hundreds of references to this event in the media which is another sign that this was staged.
clearly he was asked to speak
Kerry points to Meyer and says "sir?"
There was no one cut off but Meyer. I am amazed that the press makes such blatant things up. It is so good to have so many students taking the tapes and showing the whole thing in many angles. There is no doubt. There is no doubt that the media are lying again. The distortions are incredible.
Does anyone know what the "time limit" for questions was there? Is 30 seconds a bit fast to cut someone off? This sucks. I would have done such a thing and had friends there to film the brave question and the response. This nightmare was not planned even if appreciated for showing the evil around us.
time limit
heh, in cases like this 'time limit' for an audience question is called whenever the questioner deviates from the pre-agreed question format.
ask the question - one sentence long - get the hell off the platform.
also, in order to be nominated and screened for questioning requires 'friends'. This guy, the writer, i reckon got go ahead and gave them all the finger by asking the questions 'he wanted to ask'.
I went to Jimmy Walters tour of the UK, the manchester gig. The questions were fired in from left wing political groups. They stood out a mile and even the questions were so well prepared most of the audience recognised the game. [not to say Jimmy was controlling them but that 'security' and the people holding the microphones were discriminating who they choose]
Meyer - basically told those guys to 'shove it' and they shoved back. He was supposed to ask the 'democrat question' not the cross-party questions.
Purpose?
Was this to make Kerry look like a jerk? They knew he would allow this without saying a word? They hate that guy so much?
wtf!!!
I can appreciate that in the situation, sat down, one may be hestitant to stand up and say something but when a lad is screaming 'help, help' it is a different matter especially when one is witness to what happened.
Hired thugs pounce on the word of 'suits'.
If the people in there werent brainwashed enough, the tasering will have scared them into total submission.
It was horrific to watch, not just the cops being pathetic henchmen but the other people in there, smiling and shit. OMFG, i shudder to think who'll help me if i needed it.
Kerry Sucks Cores From Apples Rather Than Stand as an American
i shudder to think who'll help me if i needed it.
When you think you stand up "for the people" remember you stand only for yourself.
You can hear one woman screaming at them but was told to get in her place. People want to be in their place and they don't mind being told that. They did it here. Sat while a fellow student got the bum rush. I hope they would be mad rather than cower but I think you are right.
