What happened is typical of fascist behavior in humans. Those of you who think the kid was disruptive and deserved to be removed by force are on the side of the bullys. Aren't you all tired of what's happening in this country?
Aren't you all pissed that Kerry threw in the towel when he won the vote? Doesn't all of what's happened here: the war in Iraq, the devaluation of the dollar, the collapse of the housing market, the corruption of the Attorney General's office, the cost of gasoline, the outing of CIA operatives by the white house, the moral hypocracy of the politicians, the corruption of the corporations, and pedophile priests (to name a few pet peeves) make you nervous and jerky? The kid wasn't on mic more than 40 seconds before a female cop reached out to grab his arm.
He made a few good points leading to his concern that Kerry threw the election to Bush. This is a pretty good paranoid scenario but hey...we are living in weird times.
This kid provoked the cops, not Kerry. He said "skull and bones". That's a secret college society; but the cops don't know that. They're trained the think that skull and bones refers to death and poison and being a bit more than naked and pirates and violence. Those goony cops are not trained to understand that a college is a place where students can confront authority, question motives, or argue with knowlege. Cops are not raised like that. Most of them are brutalized kids who take their afflictions to their profession and the result is just what you saw on the Youtube videos.
The kid wasn't disruptive. He didn't deserve to be man handled. He was within his rights to resist. He should have been assisted by good citizens who saw the injustice of his arrest. He was on his own turf, his college, confronting a loser politician, perhaps a conspiratorial and evil man.
Those of you who saw the cops as having any right to touch him are conversing with the fascist side of yourselves and you should give it some thought 'cause you're losing your freedoms and liberties to just that kind of thinking.
