Look, it's really bad what happened to Andrew Meyer, yes. BUT the one thing he will be able to look back on with pride years from now is just how goddamn cool this video was.

O'Lieilly calls Taser Guy "biggest wimp in the US"

2008-03-22T21:54:34Z

"I've been tasered for a story, and all I can say is: He is the biggest wimp in the United States of America."
"It's not pleasant, but that idiot, he wanted this to happen. He wanted the cops to do it."

I wonder if Billo would get tasered on his show, just to show us what a wimp he isn't.

While eating a falafel.

In the shower.

I'd bet money that, once he got zapped, he'd lose interest in the loofah.

UF Police Taser Student During Kerry Forum - The Video

2008-06-16T21:29:32Z

There are different versions of this story, but Senator Kerry has condemned the arrest and even Michelle Malkin has defended him (although, upon thinking about that...).

Seriously, watch the video. I certainly don't think Sen. Kerry was at fault, in fact you can hear him saying he wants to answer the question as the kid is being arrested.

And to be quite honest, this kid was trying to stir the pot, not in asking tough questions, but in purposely saying snotty things to those in the audience who wanted to attend a serious forum.

With all that said, one wonders if this has anything to do with Naomi Klein's Shock Doctrine. Are we all so numb after the preemptive war, the killing, the torture, etc., that police are able to behave in a brutal manner (c'mon, tasering a kid when there are five cops and one student?) and thos watching have become inured to the screams of a victim?
