During an “open meeting” with John Kerry (former candidate for USA president) at the University of Florida, a student, Andrew Meyer, asked him about the falsification of elections in Florida for the 2004 presidential election. Six officers brutally pulled Meyer from the microphone after his 90 seconds of questions to Kerry, and since he resisted, threw him to the ground and tasered him. The taser is becoming more and more controversial, since despite it’s so-called “safe disabling”, in the USA and Canada a few hundred people have already died from the effects of tasering. Most people in the room failed to react to the attack. A video of the incident is HERE

Today, a more than 200 person solidarity picket with the detainee and against the limiting of free speech and the user of taser by university police took place. Banners were carried saying “Freedom of speech is not a crime”, “Stop using tasers”. Firing the security guards from the university was also demanded.

Andrew’s three questions:
  1. he showed Greg Palast’s book Armed Madhouse and asked about the faking of voting in Florida during the 2004 US presidential election
  2. he asked why Kerry didn’t call for impeaching Bush before Bush attacks Iran
  3. he asked if Kerry was in the same secret group Skull and Bones at Yale University with Bush (it’s already known that both are members)
