the video is difficult to see, but seriously just watch the whole thing--the police are pretty relentless.

GAINESVILLE - U.S. Sen. John Kerry's speech at the University of Florida came to a dramatic close Monday, shortly after a vocal audience member was hauled off by police and shot with a Taser gun.

The audience member was preliminarily identified by UF officials as Andrew Meyer, a UF student in the College of Journalism and Communications.

Toward the conclusion of Kerry's UF forum, Meyer approached an open microphone at the University Auditorium and demanded Kerry answer his questions. The student claimed that University Police Department officers had already threatened to arrest him, and then proceeded to question Kerry about why he didn't contest the 2004 presidential election and why there had been no moves to impeach President Bush.

A minute or so into what became a combative diatribe, Meyer's microphone was turned off and officers began trying to physically remove him from the auditorium. Meyer flailed his arms, yelling as police tried to restrain him.

He was then pushed to the ground by six officers, at which point Meyer yelled, "What have I done? What I have I done? Get away from me. Get off of me! What did I do? ... Help me! Help."

Police threatened to user a Taser on Meyer if he did not "comply," but he continued to resist being handcuffed. He was then Tased, which prompted him to scream and writhe in pain on the floor of the auditorium.

After the incident, Capt. Jeff Holcomb of the UPD said Meyer had been charged with disrupting a public event and placed in the Alachua County Jail. Holcomb said there would be an investigation into whether the officers used force appropriately, adding that employing a Taser gun would only be justified in a case where there was a threat of physical harm to officers.

As Meyer was escorted away, he was followed by several students, including Matthew Howland, 20. Howland, a UF senior who said he didn't know Meyer, said he was "appalled" by the way UPD officers handled the situation. Howland acknowledged that Meyer had acted inappropriately by "rushing" the microphone and forcing a question on Kerry.

"It's a perfect example of when officers take something to a level that is not necessary," he said. "The officers escalated that situation."

Throughout the incident, Kerry urged the audience to "cool down" and acknowledged that Meyer had raised an important question. As officers escorted Meyer from the auditorium into the lobby, Kerry went on to explain that he did not think there was sufficient evidence of voter suppression to justify contesting the 2004 election.

"We just couldn't do it in good conscience because we didn't have that evidence," he said.]]> Prepare to be amazed http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/2587/prepare-to-be-amazed Sat, 15 Sep 2007 02:24:46 +0000 Kevin M. 2587@/forum/discussions

READ THE ARTICLE HERE

The article states that teachers and principals in public schools are required to keep the failure rate at a minimum, inflating grades wherever possible. What does this mean? Well, basically they’re handing out Highschool Diplomas to just any idiot who will show up to class. How drastic does it get? Well, an example in the article is about a girl who received a failing grade of 30% by her teacher, but the principal felt it was necessary to bump that to 50%, to allow a pass. Another girl skipped 30 classes straight, and never handed in an assignment, but was given a chance to hand everything in at once, without penalty.

Now, one thing that just gets to me is, what about all of the kids who worked damn hard to get that 90% average, and walk down that stage to get their rightfully earned diploma? Where’s the fairness in this? Why does Joe fucking Schmoe who can’t even pass Grade 9 Math (apparently the class with the highest failure rate), get to walk next to everybody else, who worked their asses off to get where they are, only to find out that they didn’t really need to work that hard to begin with.

Well, the answer’s simple: we don’t want to hurt anybody’s feelings. We’re too worried about Joe’s self-esteem when he turns 17 and still has to take classes with 13 year olds. Well you know what? Joe should’ve thought about that before he started slacking. This world is too full of unrealistically optimistic people who continually tell students/their children/friends or whatever, that they can be whatever they want to be, and that they just have to work hard. Well, half of that is right, you DO have to work hard. But you can’t be whatever you want to be. Some kids just don’t have it. They’re not fit to be doctors, or astronauts, or teachers. They’re dumb. Period. Get over it. Indulging them in this whirlwind of bullshit and fairytales only makes things worse. People are not all equal, and you can’t always have your way. Live with what you’re given and don’t lie to yourself or your children.

We were taught at a young age (hopefully by parents, if not then by your kindergarten teacher, at least) that you have to work hard in life. Somewhere along the way, the kids these days lost sight of all of this, and want the easy way out. And now knowing that they can’t even fail if they try to, well, this is a whole new low. The world gets a lot harder after highschool, and now it’s going to be even harder with all the pampering teachers and parents are doing, just to keep a child’s inflated self-image up.]]> Your best class ever http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/2579/your-best-class-ever Thu, 13 Sep 2007 19:08:59 +0000 Kevin M. 2579@/forum/discussions 2007 Spelling Bee Champ on Jimmy Kimmel http://www.talksfu.ca/forum/discussion/2357/2007-spelling-bee-champ-on-jimmy-kimmel Fri, 03 Aug 2007 00:11:11 +0000 Kevin M. 2357@/forum/discussions
