  • cont...)... his ...

    cont...)... his question & ACCENT reminded him about the forum rules. The rules were; ONE question per person, 30 seconds to preface it & ANY use of obscenities would result in their cutting the mic. Meyer CHOSE to break ALL of those rules & ACCENT chose to exercise their right to enforce them & cut the mic. The Police were then escorting him out to talk to him about his actions, NOT arresting him. Not until his actions warrented it. He CHOSE to violently resist that lawful...cont...)

  • cont...)...& ...

    cont...)...& ORDERED to leave & he refused to do so. That's Disturbing the Peace &, under Fl law, Trespassing. As seen in the WUFT video they were removing Meyer when Kerry asked that he be allowed to ask a question. ACCENT & Police chose to honor that request but doing so did NOT mean that he was immune from forum rules & it did NOT mean that the Police were to forget his earlier, ILLEGAL, actions. Before speaking the Police told him they were going to have a talk with him after..cont...)

    "yeah what did he do." If you haven't yet watched the video titled WUFT Video Andrew Meyer I'd recommend doing so, if you really want to know that is. The Q&A had been announced to be over & Meyer threw a fit because he wasn't going to get to ask a question. He started pushing people out of his way, yelling & cursing at Kerry & trying to get to a mic. He was confronted by ACCENT, the group that sponsored the forum(two of whom can be seen standing behind the Police) & Police &...cont...)

    this just totally disgusts me, but this represents the "democracy" we live in i.e. do what you are told and don t think or say what you like, the united states should hang its head in shame over this.

  • kellaway, don't ...

    kellaway, don't think that, just because Meyer was hollering, "Why are you arresting me?" that he was actually being arrested. They were simply escorting him out to talk to him about his earlier, ILLEGAL, behaviour after ACCENT cut the mic for breaking ALL of the forum rules. Watch WUFT Video Andrew Meyer, it starts just after the Q&A had been announce to be over & Meyer threw a fit.
