TheAndrewMeyer.com: Tasered Florida Student Has A Sports Blog (Sort Of)
by CriticalFanatic
>7 days ago

As if you couldn't tell from the video yesterday at the John Kerry forum, this Florida student thinks quite highly of himself. But if you needed another example, look no further than calling his website: The Andrew Meyer.

Maybe when we're really sweet, we'll start calling this site The FanIQ. Anyway, thanks to Deadspin we learn that Mr. Andrew Meyer is a sports fan. Better yet, a fan of Bill Simmons as penned in his most recent article:
"Before I get started, I wanted to acknowledge that yes, I read Bill Simmons. He is in fact my favorite sports writer. But let me be clear: I am not stealing his opinions, and I never will. The reason I like him so much is that he thinks much the same way I do. We probably read a lot of the same draft literature, and our opinions will converge at times. Actually, I just read his draft diary for this year, and we wrote down the exact same Stephen A. Smith quote. Coincidence? Unless you think I'm just aping his material, it is. And if you think that, well stop reading now, and who needs you anyway?"
Maybe he shouldn't have been tasered yesterday, but it's clear Andrew Meyer was destined to be tasered sooner or later.

From what I read yesterday, it sounds like he got exactly what he wanted. Well, maybe he wasn't looking 50,000 volts, but he definitely was seeking the attention he's gotten.

What r u guys a bunch of pigs or what, I dont agree with you at all. He called out John Kerry and basically told him to grow some balls and to stop talkin bout what he wants to do and to start showing some action. This country is based on freedom of speech and that kid was just expressing that right and for that reason he should not have been tasered and should not have been thrown in jail but enough politics lets get back to some sports.

That was not what he was making a point to do. He was trying his 15 minutes of fame. Time up now all the other students are protesting for what because they didn't get tasered? They have the 15 times up. If they want to find something to protest how about world hunger, green peace, bunny rights, right to bear arms and tasers, I think he got what he wanted maybe he needed more or he can transfer to Rutgers and cheer with those idiots who bashed Navy.

First of all who wants to get tasered? You, I didnt think so either, and you talk about the right to bear arms, well what about the right to say whats on your mind without getting arrested and tasered. I think the freedom of speeach is a much more valued right than the right to own a gun for god sakes, and just so you know if you think that kid got what he deserved ask the 2 cops who have been suspended without pay for there actions in florida the other day and ask them if they would do it again I got a feeling they would say no. Go Oklahoma St. You moron

They told the kid to stop! Did he stop no!

The kid wanted to be famous they said he did that all the time! Well He's famous.

I have not got tasered yet but got the gas chamber since I am military. I would get tasered if I had to.

Speech is not Speeach you dip shit use spell check next time.

Guns are more important than speech yelling stop or I'll shoot is more effective than stop or I'll yell stop again. I take it you believe guns kill people not people with guns kill people. Have you ever lived in a bad part of town? Sounds like you have not. I have so for me guns are important for protection of property and self.

The cops are going to be back on the force soon enough.

I say to you take your feelings that got hurt and shove them where the sun don't shine.

Moron that's a classic thanks Farva.

First of all my feelings didn't get hurt, I just thought it was bullshit they tasered and arrested the kid regardless of whether he was trying to get his fifteen mins of fame or not. Its the cops job to serve and protect or whatever their little saying is and I dont think they are serving or protecting anybody if there standing at some john kerry rally worrying about what some 20 year old kid is gonna say. And dont think because I dont own a gun that Im some pussy little rich kid where I come from owning a gun doesn't add inches to your dick, where I come from if you gotta problem you throw up  fists like real men.

Who said rich kid? I said if you lived in a bad part of town? They were there to make sure dip shits didn't act stupid. I take it you have no family in the military or law enforcement by your comments? You might think differently if you did. You are basically saying they go around beating people at random? You may not own a gun and you may not be a rich kid do you live in your parents basement or what? I grew up whooping ass but that was then try going to a local 7/11 and fight some kid you will get blasted. Wake up! I didn't say it made it bigger either have you ever camped in Alaska? Have you seen deliverance? You might think twice about guns. I guess you live in Canada since you don't believe in or own guns!

No Ive never camped in alsaka and never really wanted to. And for your information I did once live in a neighborhood that was low class and wasn't the safest part of town my Dad NEVER owned a gun and I still have friends and family members who do live in dangerous neighborhoods and they dont own guns. My Aunt served in the military as well, and I do think people have the right to own a gun. But your missing my point because your trying to make this argument about yourself and where you live and  I really dont care where you live and how tough your life is and why you need to own a gun I got my own problems the fact of the matter is whether this kid was trying to get attention or not he wasn't putting anybody in danger and nobody was offended by what he said the only thing people were offended by were these pigs trying to arrest him and prevent him of his own right which is the freedom of speech and if you think some 20 year old kid needs to be arrested and tasered because he says what he feels then you my friend are not true American and thats all I have to say about that.

Ok This is not about me. You started the bashing I countered. I was explaining to you that cops do not just beat and taser people at RANDOM! What would we do if there were no legal system? It would be like the wild west correct. Although some incidents arise the media doesn't show the real picture on police. Sit down and watch a special about law enforcement and see what the truly do. Most put their lives on the line daily and for what? To protect and serve the people, and communities. Do me a favor look up law enforcement salaries tell me if you think that's worth it? Knowing that your not going to make much and if you were killed in the line of duty who takes care of your family and children? I thought you would see the point. I am military yes and I don't do it for the money hell I have three kids and a second job but I make sure my kids are happy and taken care of and I believe in GUNS. I have them for their safety and mine. When we take trips camping I carry a loaded .45 and my shotgun why because the sickos . I don't carry them to feel big or cool I do it for safety. The Alaska thing was because I was stationed there I carried one for protection against bears.

 

You felt sorry for the kid not me! He is smart I would assume since he is in college but when they say you are done you are done. The remark about the cops on the campus OK tell me what University doesn't have them. They have renta cops to ensure the safety of the students correct? This is going to be the last time I reply about this so here it is if you agree OK if not oh well. I am a true AMERICAN who has been Active duty Air Force for 13 years so people can voice their opinions like yourself.
