This happened right here in my hometown, Gainesville, FL. I think it is pretty darn funny.
During a town hall meeting with John Kerry an idiot student was tazed by police. I'm not sure that he deserved to be tazed. I am sure that he is an idiot, and that if he had calmly walked away he would have been fine. Here is some video of the incident:
For additional information here is more from The Gainesville Sun. I thought that John Kerry's statement on the incident was quite appropriate.
Some people have reacted to the incident by saying that this is evidence that we live in a police state. Those people fail to understand that the reaction of the UPD, the University, and the State Attorney's office are just what I would hope for under the circumstances.

The "Don't taze me, bro!" plea resonated with me so much that I put it into a blog post and designed a line of merchandise featuring the plea. If nothing else, you'll find it worth a look.
Laura Ingraham made a funnny comment about this... When the kid was yelling, "OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH!" Laura said, "That's how I feel when Hillary talks about healthcare!"
I was at a meeting today and everyone but one person thought it was
a. Hilarious
b. Deserved
Now if we could just go after Hillary and her bad ideas...
