Stark Raving Mad at the University of Florida

There are reports this morning giving more details about the events that unfolded at the University of Florida during a John Kerry event, leading to the arrest of Andrew Meyer. See my comments from September 18, on my own blog at http://russharg.blogspot.com for more on that.

At this point, my conservative impulse to believe the police over a stark raving mad liberal is kicking in. According to police reports, Meyer never made a sound or resisted at all when cameras were not present. Indeed, in the police cruiser on the way to the jail, Meyer told the police that "you didn't do anything wrong" and that the officers were only "trying to do (their) job."

Information has also surfaced indicating that Meyer was actually filming the event with his own camera, asking a fellow student if she would film more specifically his questions to Senator Kerry. Rumors now abound that this was all a planned stunt for Meyer's website. As to his friends denying this was a stunt, I'm going to play the "kooky liberal" card one more time, and guess that there is at least a 50 percent chance that it was.

As my original comments on my own blog indicated, my default reaction as a conservative was that whoever got Tasered probably deserved it. It is beginning to look more and more that way. The police say Meyer screamed "they're going to kill me" and "they're going to give me to the government." But after watching that video for a second time, it looks like the only thing Meyer needs to be given is a good dose of Ritalin.
