Is it all a conspiracy? A report claims that a Florida student that was arrested at a question and answer session for John Kerry is reportedly a Ron Paul supporter. Now while those that believe Ron Paul is just another long shot crackpot will get a chuckle out of all the "nuts" sticking together the incident in Florida did have its moments.

| Andrew Meyer & Ron Paul: Tasered Student Backs Paul for President? |
When the student was being arrested, he screamed, "There are people that know I'm here. You can't do things like that." The paranoid student then seemed to believe he would never be heard from again. "Oh my God. You're giving me to the government. (to the camera he continued) They're giving me to the government. They're giving me to the government." He then asked, "Can I get my camera back please?" Oh yes he had a camera at the ready for his YouTube moment in the sun.

When a female police officer asked "Who's that with the camera?" Meyer said, "That's my cameraman." So why would he support Ron Paul? I think that's pretty obvious. Good or bad all of the tin foil hat crowd has wandered over into the Ron Paul camp. While sifting through comments about the incident many say that his speech was being shut down - "just like Ron Paul."
Fortunately, no one has tasered the 71-year old Texas congressman. Andrew Meyer and Ron Paul and all the kooks of the world get their chance to speak here in America. They gain popularity on the Internet from those that believe that America has strayed from its roots, and believe that elections are all fixed and the media coverage is all against them.

Many of them believe free speech means that captive audiences must be forced to endure every crackpot theory any of them have to offer until they run out of breath. They scream about the First Amendment and the US Constitution as if they actually understand it.
It appears that Andrew wanted attention - his First Amendment rights were not violated. He's free to go to the street corner today and spout election theories until he runs out of breath. He was free to walk out that door and speak that day as well. He chose to saty and fight.

But when he was told his allotted time was up under the rules of the event he had to adhere to those rules or face the consequences. Don't feel for him - he got just what he wanted - attention. Too bad he didn't give Ron Paul a shout out and a bump during his scream fest.
