9/28/2007 - University of Florida student Tasered

Ahh, the college years... you have to appreciate the freedoms you are given in a college environment. Freedom to choose your classes, freedom to travel, and being able to talk like an idiot and have it labelled as "freedom of speech". Take the moron who was all over the news recently for asking inappopriate questions at a Senator Kerry forum and then being tasered after resisting arrest. In high school, he would have probably given a script to read instead of being able to ask his own questions. Outside of college, one would hope that his questions would be prescreened before allowing him to ask them.

But within the college bubble, displays of this kind of idiocy is normal... in fact, it's almost celebrated. When you're just one out of thousands of students, you have to find a way to stand out to be a "big man on campus". Fortunately, it's easier these days to stand out with a video camera and YouTube. To attract massive hits on YouTube though, you have to be even more outrageous because you are one out one hundreds of thousands. This University of Florida student decided to do just that by wildly resisting arrest and inviting the use of force, knowing that all of this is being taped. For being a moron, that might have actually been a smart thing to do.



Heh... you can't help but root for the cops in this video. Especially after the "don't tase me, bro" exclamation.
