It is very relevant that this is a southern university and a southern town, his actions were very rude and disrespectful towards the other members of the audience and he should not have had any expectation that his behavior would be tolerated.

that's a lengthier clip than the one I saw before.

given the setting, I can understand why the guy was perceived as bothersome. I don't know enough about the format to say he should have been allowed to continue his rant, but I can't believe they tasered the guy. they could have handcuffed him and hauled him away and decided later whether or not what they did was right or wrong.

truly UFB. this country is populated by sheep. the students should be rioting over this.

"When he passed his alloted one minute mic time, five cops jumped him, threw him to the ground, shot him with taser shockers.

Kerry, true to character, stood immobile."
