University of Florida Student Tasered At Political Rally
An anonymous reader writes "During a political rally at the University of Florida, an annoying student was tasered while attempting to ask Senator Kerry (D-MA) some questions regarding the 2004 election. Police are looking into whether excessive force was used to prevent the student from going over his alloted question period." There are also several YouTube videos available of the incident.
I know this is only tangentially related to this thread, but I believe people will be glad to know about my current situation. I am moving house within the next month, and the toilets in my current house are so fantastic that I am taking them with me. Alas, the toilet seats are sadly not coming, as I do not have the space. Hence, I am selling them, here, on Slashdot! Anyone who wants to buy one of my toilet seats just message me below and we can sort something out! As I said before there is probably some petrified fecal matter on the under side, but I'm sure some action from a toothbrush will clean it as good as new!
types.
if everybody could think about just 1 or 2 things (money, sex), wouldn't everything at least seem to be better? all this whining & complaining, as hillary once mentioned, 'there must be some limits to this freedom thing'? let freedumb ring, so long as it's softly enough to not be heard?

what a break for US? that's how robbIE was able to start his 'ad' 'business' & catapault IT into part of a major wall street of deceit stock markup FraUD gambull. it would appear to be an ominous trend of the last-gasper payper liesense advertiser fed 'mainst(r)eam mediyahah. yet another opportunity to spew the phoney mindphucking propograndizing hypenosys of the southern baptist life0ciders.
meanwhile, back at the debacle we lovingly call man'kind', yOUR fearful 'leaders' continue to develop more&more cruel & unusual ways to create additional debt & disruption for most of US, while our fellow humans across the water continue to explode by yOUR $hand$.

in orbit perhaps? we wouldn't want to be within 500 miles of the naykid furor at this power point.
better days ahead?
as in payper liesense hypenosys stock markup FraUDs are on their way out? what a revolutionary concept.
from previous post: many demand corepirate execrable stop abusing US
we the peepoles?
how is it allowed? just like corn passing through a bird's butt eye gas.
all they (the nazis) want is... everything. at what cost to US?
for many of US, the only way out is up.
don't forget, for each of the creators' innocents harmed (in any way) there is a debt that must/will be repaid by you/US as the perpetrators/minions of unprecedented evile will not be available after the big flash occurs.
'vote' with (what's left in) yOUR wallet. help bring an end to unprecedented evile's manifestation through yOUR owned felonious life0cidal glowbull warmongering execrable.
some of US should consider ourselves very fortunate to be among those scheduled to survive after the big flash/implementation of the creators' wwwildly popular planet/population rescue initiative/mandate.
it's right in the manual, 'world without end', etc....
as we all ?know?, change is inevitable, & denying/ignoring gravity, logic, morality, etc..., is only possible, on a temporary basis.
concern about the course of events that will occur should the life0cidal execrable fail to be intervened upon is in order.
'do not be dismayed' (also from the manual). however, it's ok/recommended, to not attempt to live under/accept, fauxking greed/fear/ego based pr ?firm? scriptdead mindphuking hypenosys.
consult with/trust in yOUR creators. providing more than enough of everything for everyone (without any distracting/spiritdead personal gain motives), whilst badtolling unprecedented evile, using an unlimited supply of newclear power, since/until forever. see you there?
So if they'd told him repeatedly "Stop resisting or we'll pump you full of lead.", they would have been justified in doing so ?
What they did amounted to torture.
Mod: -1 Exaggerating for effect
When are you people going to learn that your rights do not trump the rights of others?
Kerry and his supporters were peacefully gathered and exercising their right to free speech. This jackass came in and disturbed their gathering. He does not have a right to do that.
He trampled their right to free speech, freedom of assembly, and freedom of association. He doesn't have a right to do that.
Neither his rights nor your rights over ride the rights of others. Your rights end where the rights of others begin. His right to free speech ended when they decided they didn't want to listen to him and he was disturbing their assembly. You have a right to free speech, but you do not have a right to an audience and can not force other to be an audience against their will.
There is no "-1 offended" or "-1 you don't agree with me" mod options for a reason.
FUCK, WHERE ARE MY MOD POINTS!!!!!! +10 to you, anonymous hero.

Originally I thought the police had over-reacted. Then, I saw some coverage of the event where they included an earlier video showing this guy on a street corner with a sign trying to spoil the ending of the last Harry Potter book. He deserved to be tasered. It is too bad it took so long.
This reminds me of the Stargate Episode where Carter gets transported to another reality where the StarGate program was released to the public. A guy starts yelling about freedom because in that world all freedoms were lost in the interest of security and he ends up either being shot with a zat, or got with one of those goauld torture sticks.
