Student Tazered By Police for Asking Senator Kerry a Question?

I have seen in my time some disturbing images and video on the internet. But I have to say that this video here was one of the most troubling i have ever seen. As you can see the student is asking some very pointed questions to Senator Kerry. I never threatens, swears, or asks an unreasonable question, but the police standing behind him drag him away and eventually tazer him repeatedly.

To all my American friends out there, I ask you. Is the the Land of the Free and the Home of The Brave? Let us consider the great and forward thinking principles on which the United States was created. One of the Key being Freedom of Speech.

I cannot say that this video really surprises me. It seems to be more and more common that people expressing their constitutional rights are being repressed again and again and again. Why is that?

In the western world we have so many rights that others in the world do not have. But with those rights comes a grave responsibility. That responsibility is that when these rights are threatened the only way to stand up to that threat is by demanding that your rights be observed. 

While the United States, Canada, Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Holland, and other western countries are shaken by the possibility of and threat of terrorism I think they should be much more shaken by something else. The loss of freedom.

If we are great in the west it is only because of these freedoms. Let us not forget that and let us stand up and speak truth to power.
