KDALove cont)These are what those of us that actually DO know what we’re talkign about refer to as facts.
He’s lucky he wasn’t charged with every law he broke in that room & that his lawyer was able to get him a deal for 18 months of probation considering all of the video evidence & eyewitness testimony against him from that day.

KDALove cont) That’s Resisting an Officer with Violence & Inciting a Riot & THAT is why he was arrested. He made a 2nd attempt to get away from the Police at the back of the room & was taken to the ground. He was told what he had to do & what would happen to him if he didn’t do it. He CHOSE to be drive-stunned by CHOOSING to ignore their REPEATED orders even AFTER being warned he’d be “tased” if he did not comply. cont.)

Meyer CHOSE to break ALL of those rules & ACCENT Director Max Tyroler chose to exercise his right to enforce those rules & gave the signal to cut the power to the mic. The Police were then escorting him out, NOT arresting him, not until his continued ILLEGAL actions warrented it. Meyer CHOSE to violently resist that lawful removal & tried to get others to interfere with the Police. cont.)

Meyer was told by Police, PRIOR to speaking at the mic, that they were going to need to talk to him after his question(thus their being behind him the entire time he was at the mic) & he was reminded about the forum rules. Those rules were:ONE question per person(he asked 5+), 30 seconds to preface it(he talked for a minute & half before the mic was cut) & everyone was told that ANY use of ..cont..)

KDALove cont..).. that was moderating the Q&A, members AND Police & he was ORDERED to leave. He, by his own admission in a written interview for MSNBC, refused to do so. That’s Disturbing the Peace &, under Fl law, Trespassing. He was being removed, by Police, when Kerry intervened & asked that he be allowed to ask his question. ACCENT & Police chose to honor that request & escorted Meyer to the mic but doing so did NOT mean that he was immune from forum rules & ..cont..)

@redrumrob Here is one :
“Good to know that I’m talking to a lawbreaking prick”
1) You have no factual evidence to support your claim
2) You just made that up
3) You presumed that by prematurely taking my words out of context.
Is that proof enough?

Here, I’ll even give your dumb the facts again. They are corroborated by the video footage, eyewitness statements, the Police reports & Meyer’s own interviews.
The Q&A was announced to be over & Meyer threw a fit because he wasn’t going to get to ask a question. He started yelling & cursing at Kerry & pushing his way to the nearest mic. He was confronted by ACCENT, the group that sponsored the forum &..cont..)

“You just spew out …
“You just spew out bullshit as if you have a clue what you’re talking about.” Then try proving me wrong on even one fact I’ve listed. Just one. Going to be rather difficult for you to do since you do NOT know what you’re talking about & keep refering to the facts I give you as “bullshit”.

@redrumrob By …
@redrumrob By position I meant the physical position not the legal altercation that man was in. If you’re going to quote me out of context try to sound less like a jack about it. Honestly speaking I bet you don’t know a fact from an opinion if it crawled up your ass. You just spew out bullshit as if you have a clue what you’re talking about.

Hey you …
@redrumrob
Hey you cop-ass licking seed sucker. I bet there is nothing more you like than being pinned down and pounded on the ground by five cops. The only thing that is different is that instead of them tasing you like Meyer, each one of them is sticking it to you with their biological “billy club,” while you writhe in exquisite pain, you moronic piece of trash.

“Who said I was a …
“Who said I was a lawbreaker?” You did. You said; “know for a fact what it’s like to be in the guy’s position and it’s a lot more painful than it looks.” The “position” Meyer was in was that he was being arrested for breaking the law. If you can’t keep up with even the bullshit that you’re writing how the do you expect anyone to take anything that you say seriously. You must be just writing all of this as a joke, since none of it’s is based on the facts. Hope you’re having fun, asshole.

@redrumrob Who said I was a lawbreaker? I was referring to football but thanks for your FACTUAL presumptions and thus proving my point AGAIN that you have no idea what the you’re talking about kid. You failed. It’s past your bed time. Get some sleep.

“we are merely …
“we are merely asking for questions, yet we are answered with force.” You’re a idiot. Meyer was not removed, let alone arrested or drive-stunned, for anything he said. He broke the law & was being arrested for doing so. He was told what he had to do & what would happen if he didn’t o it & he CHOSE to be drive-stunned by CHOOSING to ignore their REPEATED orders & warnings & nothing your dumb can say will change that fact.

“I know for a fact …
“I know for a fact what it’s like to be in the guy’s position and it’s a lot more painful than it looks.” Good to know that I’m talking to a lawbreaking prick. That makes things a lot easier to understand.
“So stop acting like an internet gangster and het YOUR facts straight.” LOL Go suck a dick you idiotic piece of shit. I’m the only one that actually IS using the facts so you can go yourself.

The Police weren’t called, they didn’t attack him, he wasn’t suprised by it like so many people would try to make others believe. He brought it all on himself by his ILLEGAL actions that day.

You’re right …
You’re right stanleyyelnats69, they were “just escorting him out”, until his illegal actions warrented turning that removal into an arrest. What happened at the mic was NOT his first interaction with the Police during that forum. The Q&A had been announced to be over & he threw a fit because he wasn’t going to get to ask a question. He started yelling & cursing at Kerry & when ordered to leave, by both ACCENT AND Police, he refused to do so. cont..)

“Fuck the forum rules, the student code of bullshit, disturbing the peace and trespassing.” Yeah, the facts, right asshole.
“What happened to freedom of speech..” Nothing but it’s irrelevant. The courts ruled LONG ago that ACCENTS rules do NOT violate anyones 1st Amendment rights. YOUR being a idiot does NOT mean that his rights were violated.
