I've been curious how that case ended up. Thanks for the up-date. (In my opinion, the kid got off a little too lightly, but...OK.)

And I guess that puts paid to the people claiming that he wasn't fighting with the officers.

No... It's just a big conspiracy, they'll argue.

No, wingnut, it just means you and the rest of the #$%@#$s in the US have precious little understanding of the rights give US citizens under the constitution. Resisting arrest? No problem? With violence? Bull.

Absolutely.

Empires often rot from within. The discourse displayed on these boards by the C/N-C's is a good example.

Only...Pligganease didn't say that. If you can't even use the quote function correctly...then why should we take ANYTHING you say seriously?

Oh for Pete's sake...will you STOP gibbering ? Are you trying to tell us that the U.S constitution gives its citizens the right to resist arrest with violence? Settle down, take a deep breath and elucidate, don't hallucinate.

�Don�t tase me, bro!� named year�s top quote
Beauty queen�s unique �U.S. Americans and such as� answer a runner-up

REUTERS updated 1:56 p.m. ET Dec. 19, 2007
LOS ANGELES - "Don't tase me, bro," a phrase that swept the nation after
a U.S. college student used it seeking to stop campus police from
throwing him out of a speech by Sen. John Kerry, was named Wednesday
as the most memorable quote of 2007.

Fred R. Shapiro, the editor of the Yale Book of Quotations, said the plea
made by University of Florida student Andrew Meyer on Sep. 17,
accompanied by Meyer's screams as he was tased, beat out the racial
slur that cost shock jock Don Imus his job and the Iranian president's
declaration that his country does not have homosexuals.

So the moron is still cultivating the media attn he aimed for.

Quote:
Second on Shapiro's list was this tortuous answer by Lauren Upton, the South Carolina contestant in the Miss Teen America contest in August, when asked why one-fifth of Americans can't find the United States on a map:

"I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation don't have maps and I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and the Iraq and everywhere like such as and I believe that they should our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S. or should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future for us."

Upton later apologized for her answer not making a lot of sense.


You have got to be kidding me.

And this. Nicely played by Reid...
