  • I heard he died

  • not meyer ,your the man

  • that reporter is as fuck up as the person o wrote the questions 

  • Disenfranchised voters is a good topic to address, surely. Impeachments due to blowjobs and being part of super secret world-conquering fraternities, not so much. Maybe, just maybe, if he didn't bring up the latter two (and ended up looking like a troll), he wouldn't have been so roughly treated.

  • @mamacornettesmoney If you say so. I wouldn't know exactly how painful it is to get shocked by a taser, the guy just screamed so loudly that I figured out that it was definitely a hell of a "rough" experience for him.

    My point was that his first question was sensible enough to be answered. He should have just stopped there and waited for Senator Kerry to answer.

    I didn't see the part about him shoving his way to get to the mic. If that was the case, then I guess he had it coming.

  • He shouldn't be sorry. The police should.

  • that guy did nothing wrong the only way he could be arrested was if he caused a riot, if it was me i would sue the hell out of the police and the police department, that guy just doesnt have the balls to stand up for himself again

  • Amazing they got that kid to admit he was wrong when he was clearly in the right. I can't blame him for caving though...legal fights are hard and I'm sure he wanted to graduate and be done with it.

    I'm glad he didn't end up in some nameless prision somewhere. I was honestly worried that happened to him. Glad enough of America is left to keep that from happening, and glad to see he's alright.

  • @mamacornettesmoney The first Amendment would disagree with you and although he did get worked up...he didn't do anything wrong.

  • @mamacornettesmoney Don't go blowing smoke up my ass. Kerry is an elected official and what running for the highest office in the land. He had every right to ask hard questions...and just because he was on school property does not mean there is a vacuum of civil liberties there.

  • why is th interviewer beating around the bush?

  • Comment removed

  • This interviewer is an idiot. His questions are trying to direct direct the public in making think he's wrong. Next

  • They were doing their job??? They tasered you for asking questions!!! IDIOT.

  • He was doing the interviewers job by asking the question every America has the right to know for that he gets interviewed as a trouble marker. Listen to all the slander words. The interviewer only wishes he could ask the same questions as Andrew Mayer.

  • Sounds like the kid pussied out to me.

  • Andrew Myer said "blowjob" in reference to Bill Clinton's impeachment. The cops then cut off his microphone, to which replied, "Thanks for cutting my mic!"

  • didnt he sue and win?

  • this is why i will not vote in any elections, even though i gained my citizenship from fighting for a country that doesnt care about its people, if im just going to be ignored or thrown aside like garbage whats the point? its not like the elections even matter, the people in power whom are elected are pre determined and of course the voting process is just an illusion to make the people feel like they are still in the loop.

  • what happend was andrew asked were you in the same sociatie as buch and ???? then he was arrested for asking questions

  • screw the government ,, its all corrupted,, they killed thousands of inocent people on 911 just to have an excuse to start war,, judgment day comin soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­! better believe it .. i dont care for negative comments on this,, as long as i know im saved ,, from eternal fire

  • @mars3ooo

    how do you know your saved? you just sound like another liberal twat to me

  • Shalom~ I am proud of Andrew and his courage in asking important questions. Being Jewish and a Mormon, It troubles me that this young college student was treated so poorly for having a brain and asking good questions. I'm a retired journalist also, and If I were still news director I'd hire Andrew!! J. Kerry is such a putz

  • @kittywaymo Surely, we should all be troubled by this; without regard to our, or his, religion or ethnicity. I also applaud his audacity in asking such excellent questions of a powerful politician who has much to answer for & the Constitution defends our right to seek those answers as a primary purpose! There are times when civil disobedience is called for... like now!

    Recall what Jefferson had to say about the Tree of Liberty needing to be 'watered' from time to time, and how!!

  • The cops are going to do what ever they want and continue to get away with it. I don't know a solution for that. People that have not been affected by law enforcement abusing their authority, will continue to defend Cops, I don't know what to do about that neither. What I do know, is that there is no justifiable reason under the sun that this man should have been shocked by a taser gun, with about 6 officers already restraining him on the floor. That is what I do know.

  • Very interesting to see how they edited the real events for TV. i.e. They do not show how the police were harassing him in between his questions, even though Kerry had said to allow him to ask them

    Can it be right that refusing to do what the police tell you - as in forbidding you to ask a question at an alleged 'Public Open Forum' - should be a criminal offence?

    The US has very serious problems with Freedom of Speech & with basic freedoms if the majority believes this is ok

  • it was all censorship. this is low, even for police officers. it goes against the first amendment

  • He wasn't tased for "attempting to ask a question" he was tased because after disrupting a town assembly, and beings asked to leave, and having police escort him out, he still resisted police and faught...If your asked to leave somewhere by police and you fight with them, your going to get tased, Andrew Meyer, lesson learned

  • @Alex09756 Wrong. Open your eyes. He was admitted for a question, but recieved interference as soon as he brought up the allegations of vote-fraud during his preface from the forum director & the police. He was cut-off just AFTER mentioning the "Skull & Bones" connection between Bush & Kerry. His question had to do with whether Kerry's compromised & competing allegiances cause him to concede the election prematurely, or was it predetermined, based on the evidence given in Mr. Pallast's book.

  • @bingobonkman Hey, Im not disagreeing with your point, i understand the questions he was asking, and I personally agree with Andrew Meyer, and Its cool that he asked the questions that he did...But there was no reason to ask them the way he did, and to get unruly during an assembly...watch the full video of the questions he asked and how he asked them, he was loud, obnoxious, and out of line, there is a reason why he wrote a letter of apology to the School, and to the police.

  • @Alex09756 I'll agree it would've been better if he'd been able to suppress his sarcastic, accusatory tone & maintained more of a stance of firm but civil objectivity. I would chalk that up to youth & inexperience with managing his emotions & impressions.Re: forcing the issue in asking his question & presenting Kerry with the unpalatable choice of dealing with him, rather than appearing to duck a student's legitimate question; I applaud him for his civil disobedience! The subject warrants it!

  • I'll add that we do not owe people like Kerry any deference. They're not our masters under law, despite their efforts to turn the relationship around.

    If you read "Armed Madhouse" & other works detailing the machinations of these perverse bureaucrats, you'll realize that these allegations are not dismissible as nonsense. What if people did come to realize that they're being cheated out of their vote; that the "fix" really is in?

    You know they'll do whatever's needed to maintain the illusion

  • @bingobonkman

    Well said.

  • Comment removed

  • @xxYouTub3Policexx I believe i am correct in thinking you are a liar without a life.

    Would you care to dispute this claim with any facts?

  • @xxYouTub3Policexx Ah a reply from "Mr Genius"

    Pray tell me,how is it possible that both yourself and llfousdetagnut/ccr5c3po/humans­hot/daveyj69/etc/etc both asked me thus- "Post a legit source"

    Do I understand it that you both shared a bench seat on the sunshine bus and he copied your homework?

    UNbelievable.

  • America is a country of idiots and retards

  • @ccr5cxcr4

    lol, im so glad you keep posting examples of your paranoid delusions [especially the winthrop college stuff]. concretes the fact that you are a reject of society & faking your education

    you are clearly projecting TROLL, it is you who had a dozen accounts when we first met. even more now right? how many different people have you harassed & had them figure out your juvenile ploy?

    isnt there a toilet that you should be unblocking? find a new hobby loser

  • Ccr5cxcr4, I think it could be. They both type the same and are both very cowardly trolls who love to spread lies and harass people.

  • Ccr5cxcr4, Reggie is so paranoid and delusional he said I was deleting his posts in the Google Help forum. The Google moderators were deleting them because it harassment and spam. He tried 3 or 4 times to put the same thread up and it was deleted each time by Google. The troll never quits spamming, harassing or stalking

  • "he said I was deleting his posts in the Google Help forum"

    btw, strawman as usual

    that was never said. your group is well known for the tactic of sending many complaints from sock accounts. just look at how you do the same thing with the thumbs & spam button here

    nice of you to once again confirm your allegiance with ccr5cxcr4. you do know that he also posts pirated videos & spams invitations to harass people right? no wonder you are such close buddies.... and total losers

  • @ccr5cxcr4

    Oooh get you bitch!

    Yes I am Reggie,or am I FoxAirfield? Or am I Mykoolaids? Or am I Mk3stargazer?

    Do you know I got so many accounts I just do not know who I am,,, Oh hang on, No, Thats you.

    UNbelievable

  • @63champ

    Having been harassed by those who think that the police had every right to attack, torture & detain this man, despite no criminal act occurring (except one might argue by the police), together with the fact that many of the audience here thought the police action was acceptable & sat grinning whilst he was being attacked, I have to agree with you.

  • @ccr5cxcr4 Still sadly breathing and using his Moms computer i see, shame.

  • I'M SHERIFF JOHN BUNNELL and i have been in law enforcement for 25 years and i have never, EVER, come across, a dumpster like you.

    You are sky-high on after two day crack binge and wired to the max. You are on a one man multi username mission and there's no place for Trolls like you on YouTube, that's why you are heading straight for the county jail, Go straight to jail, Do not pass go,And do not collect 200 bucks

  • "harassing and stalking the same people for over 1+ years "

    but that describes you TROLL, why the whining?

    funny how you guys cried & whined so much about off topic comments yet here you are posting them regularly

    did you find that statute yet TROLL?

    did you read the court decision were discussing?

    for all your whining, the court seems to have agreed with all those people you berated for saying the taser shouldnt be used if the person isnt a threat

    when will you be posting your apologies huh?

  • I was having a conversation with skull666bones about what happened to meyer and giving examples of situations, and suddenly your asking me to read the decision and analysis of what happened. I thought you meant of the Meyer case. See what happens when you try to change topics without even knowing it? You start talking about some other case with out even mentioning what it is.

  • @Reggieworth again, show me where anyone here was talking about the new case decision? until you did?

  • @thebatman

    How about you give me your address so I can over your house and so you can ask me question and If I don't like it I can punch square in your mouth for 1 asking me a question I don't want to answer and 2 for being a fucking dumbass.

  • @Skull666Bones how about you understand it's the total opposite of that situation... it more like you give me YOUR address and I come over to your house to ask you questions you don't like and you tell me to leave, and I don't want to, then yes you could go ahead and punch me in the mouth. If you came to my house to assault me, I'd just shoot you dead.

  • No, more like you came to a public place like a library, asked me some questions I didn't like and before I could say a word my brothers came and man handled you out to the parkinglot then beat your ass not giving you a chance to leave while I say absolutely nothing even though I know it's wrong. We can't say house because if it was sombodys house it would have a bit different.

  • yes, on the ground fighting with officers... did they tase him right away when they pulled the taser after he pushed and shoved his way away from the officers? nope, did they tase him when he was resisting arrest? yes.

    again taking words out of context...

    do you know what premeditated means? do you know what protecting life and property means? do you know the cupable mental state requirements? apparently not. go find another person to harrass ReggiedoucheTROLL

  • @Reggieworth Jesus, you're such a moron... I dont' know why I bother to feed the Reggiedouchetroll... maybe if I stop it will starve to death... Why should I read the decision and analysis? I can see what happened on the video... video tape doesn't lie, like you do all the time... fucktard.

  • "you're such a moron"

    your the one who cant tell what the hell he is responding to

    the decision & analysis of the Carl Bryan taser case TROLL

    try to keep up

  • "I know about the 9th circus court"

    then how come you are so ignorant of the decision?

    "had nothing to do"

    so? the decision will change how the taser is used

    "What does a recent court decision have to do"

    many many people posted the opinion here that a man should not be tasered if he isnt a threat. you & rummy berated them for that opinion & now the courts have agreed with them

    will you be posting an apology to all those people you insulted?

  • Lies again....I never said a man should be tasered if he isn't a threat... tell me where I said that... and Meyer was a threat because he was resisting arrest, that warrants getting tased in the shoulder. I've not berated people for thinking that. What I've argued is that the police were justified in removing him on behalf of ACCENT and when he escalated the situation into arrest, he resisted, justified tase when he did not comply with the officers orders to put his hands behind his back.

  • "I've not berated people for thinking that"

    sure you have & you stand right beside rummy remember

    "justified tase when he did not comply with the officers orders"

    and most people commenting on the subject dont seem to likee that he was tased even tho he was unarmed & made no threats

    you dont seem to get it

    the court just agreed with them

    you guys have made it a hobby to confront people here based on policy. policy is obviously NOT written in stone

    you are stifling the discussion

  • @Reggieworth again, not completing the sentence that I said. 'complying with officers orders to put his hands behind his back" and stop resisting. Again, you're just picking and chosing words to make it seem lilke I said something else. You're a douchefuck. You start referencing some court decision here with out even saying what it is, how am I supposed to know what the fuck you're talking about?

  • @Reggieworth "and most people commenting...don't like he was tased...tho he was unarmed". And again, that doesn't matter. He was resisting arrest, and not complying with officers to lay on his stomach and putting his hands behind his back. What most people are mistaken about is that they think he was tased because he asked about skull and bones. Even you aren't that stupid to know that's not what happened.

  • @Reggieworth and just because someone doesn't make threats or have a weapon, doesn't mean they aren't a threat. Did you know if a person is unarmed and gets into a fight with a police officer, say while resisting arrest, and then starts trying to grab the cops gun, it's now a deadly force encounter and now he or another officer is justified in killing that person? you are the one stifling the conversation by trying to steer it away from the topic at hand.

  • @Reggieworth "learn to read" ok, show me where to read where you said what you were talking about. All you said out of the blue was I should read some decision and analysis, but you didn't say of what, I thought you would be talking about Meyer's incident, you never mentioned anything about the other case before I actully knew what you were talking about when you injected yourself into my conversation with skull666bones

    and it was justified

  • @Reggieworth Again you're trying to sway the topic of conversation away from the topic at hand by a recent court decision that had nothing to do with what happened to meyer. It was a traffic stop where the guy was acting weird and not listening to commands, and I agree he shouldn't have been tased, the cop was wrong. But the cops were not wrong in the Meyer situation and the decision wouldn't have affected the use of the taser in Meyer's incident. AGAIN you're wrong.

  • "sway the topic of conversation away from the topic at hand by a recent court de.."

    lol

    dude, you read that out loud & see if you dont laff yourself

    you are stuck in some kind of time warp

    recent events can be compared to the situation, time marches on buddy

    "cops were not wrong in the Meyer situation"

    if you say so, now how does that justify you & rummy harassing people here for TWO YEARS over the topic of tasering an unarmed man who was no threat

    whatever the outcome of the vid, u iz TROLLs

  • @Reggieworth and why the fuck would I know that you were talking about THAT taser incident? You never referenced it other than I should read the decision and analysis... but you never said of what, I just thought you'd be talking about Meyer's inicdent since THAT is the topic here, idiot.

  • @Reggieworth I don't owe anyone any apology because AGAIN, the new court decision doesn't affect what happened to Meyer, the police still had a right to tase him for resisting arrest because resisting arrest is a dangerous situation for police officers and a THREAT. But of course you're going to glom on to anything about a taser that limits its use and goes against law enforcment officers. Again, not the topic here, the topic is Andrew's resisting arrest and getting tased for it, justifiably.

  • well then how about I came to your work and you didn't want me there... then yes you can escort someone off the premises. and it wasn't a "public" place like a library... it was a school function that you needed tickets to get into and was being run by ACCENT who had rules in place with the student code of conduct still applying.

  • and again, if you were just there on your own, then we both have a right to be there, but if you are the Librarian and don't want someone there because they are causing a disruption, then yes you have the right to call the police and the police have the right to take you by the arm and lead you out, and if you resist being removed then guess what, you're done.

  • by the way, if you're brothers just came and manhandled me with no authority because we're both at the library, that's called aggravated assault

  • No one punched Meyer & he wasn't removed or arrested for what he said, let alone drive-stunned for it. The Police did nothing wrong in that situation & if anything were overly patient & lenient with Meyer. He broke no less than 4 laws & brought this all on himself by his illegal actions & idiotic decisions & is damn lucky he wasn't charged with every law he broke & that his lawyer got him a deal for probation instead of standing trial, considering all of the video evidence against him.

  • again he was not tased for asking a question, he was tased for not complying and leaving when asked to do so. he was tased for resisting arrest

  • @thebatman101069

    "he was tased for not complying"

    did you read the court of appeals ruling that will make that excuse a thing of the past? for all your crying & whining, all those people who posted comments saying that he shouldnt have been tasered because he posed no threat have had their voices heard

    dont you feel stupid for belittling people for an opinion you cant share?

  • Yes he was tased for not complying with orders while under arrest and resisting arrest. Fighting with officers and not complying with their orders while under arrest is posing a threat to the safety of the officers... nice try, but Andrew's tase still would have been justified under this ruling.

    Don't you feel stupid that you dont' understand the law and court rulings?

  • "Fighting with officers"

    your opinion, i see him just pulling away

    nice try

    "Andrew's tase still would have been justified under this ruling"

    dont think so, didnt you know the taser was pulled right away?

    "Don't you feel stupid"

    you are the one supposedly trained for it. you are the result of the low IQ hiring policy TROLL, find a new hobby

  • what are the rules of the forum? at first it looks like he is being thrpwn out and arrested for asking a question which is wicked fuckd up.but i keep seeing ppl say he broke rules. can someone tell me the rules or something? im interested. because if there were rules and stuff then it changes this completly

  • ACCENT is the official rep of the UF. They have hosted controversial & important speakers for the last 40+ years, and have always had the same rules.

    1 question, 30 seconds to pose the question, moderated, polite discourse, no vulgarity, UF student code of conduct applies.

    When Meyer broke those rules, he was told to leave. He refused to relinquish the microphone, so they cut the mic off. He refused to leave, which was trespassing, and they arrested him.

  • ohhhh okay i see. well that changes a lot. the video makes it look like censorship or somehting. thanks

  • @ryansondrugs he was actually arrested for insighting a riot.

  • Cops were disruptive? Not according to anyone who matters.

    Unanswered? Only if you are a fucking idiot who cannot use google. Answered 2 years before this ever happened.

  • i lost all respect for him when he apologized

  • It looks to me like he was disruptive. Is that what happened?

  • yeah and he broke the forum rules and resited

  • Ah thank you! Yeah it seemed that he was trying to tell them how he was going to run their forum. What kind of idiot would think they can do that? Of course they care just going to throw you out.

    Seems like someone didn't get the spankings he needed "growing up."

  • I would have tased your ass too.

  • lol shallow and pedantic

  • What happend is this guy asked questions broke some rules and get arrested he told them multiple times saying " Just let me go and I'll walk out " he's not a crazy drunk physco he's a young boy interested in politics and obviously cares for our nations future and the Police were just doing there job but obviously need abit more training on when and when not to fucking shock someone with 50k volts.

  • Slev here suffers from delusions. He desperately WANTS events to fit his paranoid agenda, so he has to lie about the events of the day to try to make his case. Pathetic.

    The fact is Meyer ignored the forum rules & was ejected for his repeated violations. The same rules ACCENT has had for the last 45 years (are dumb enough to think they were anticipating Kerry's visit 45 years ago).

    Meyer refused to leave, breaking several laws, and was forced to leave, and then convicted.

  • His rights weren't violated. The ACLU admitted it when they refused to help him with a civil rights case.

    The police weren't punished, because they did nothing wrong. And university & police policy regarding taser use remains the same.

    All in all, a pure win for reasonable, law abding, intelligent Americans, and civil rights. An utter loss for the rest of you.

  • And that's not even as bad as some stories i heard about when conservatives were in office. I have a history teacher who is fairly liberal and told us about when Bush Sr. (when he was VP) came to my school in the Mid-80's. He had the same thing happen to him just b/c he was an active member int the ACLU (american civil liberties union). Ironic isn't it, that someone works to protect 1st amendment rights with ACLU and conservatives take those rights away.
