Student Tasered at John Kerry Speech

Wednesday September 19, 2007
A University of Florida student was tasered and arrested at a John Kerry event after asking too many annoying questions. Watch the video footage, plus read what the late-night comedians had to say about the incident:

"Tonight we talk about the video we've all seen, the video of the University of Florida student, Andrew Meyer, being tasered at a John Kerry speech. By the way, considered one of the most pleasant outcomes of attending a Kerry speech. Many people, from what I've seen, choose to be tasered.” –Jon Stewart

“I believe this is the first time anyone's ever been electrified at a John Kerry speech." --Jay Leno

"While the cops had him down, did you hear what he yelled to the police? He was yelling ... 'Don't tase me bro.' You know something, any time a white guy says the word 'bro,' he deserves to get tasered." --Jay Leno

"Actually, to his credit, John Kerry said he did not want the kid tasered. He figured if he would just keep talking for a few more minutes, the student would have nodded off on his own." --Jay Leno
