blog.wired.com — Just 2 days after it was yelled out in a University of Florida lecture hall, "Don't Tase Me, Bro!" has become the newest cultural touchstone of our pop-cultural lexicon. The phrase has inevitably ricocheted around YouTube, various blogs, newspaper Web sites, television network news shows and it's been among the most searched for phrases on Google.

SO WHAT if he wanted more publicity? First of all, the constitution gives him the right to say everything he said and asked. What is NOT AT ALL CLEAR is why he arrested. Sure he may have been agitated and rambling, but that doesn't make what he has to say either illegal or worthy of arrest.

You are full of s**t, he didn't make "moves to get to the stage." If you actually watch the f**king video he frees himself from the cops and stands with his back turned to the stage and his hands straight up in the air. You f**king police apologists keep trying to make it sound like he was trying to rush the stage, but that is complete bulls**t.And why is him "resisting arrest" even a f**king issue?? The cops had no reason to be arresting him in the first place, so he was resisting an unlawful arrest. That shouldn't be a f**king crime. The crime is the police violating his 4th and 5th Amendment rights by arresting him for exercising his 1st Amendment right of free speech in a public forum.Why is it that the so-called "law enforcement" in this country has such a hard time respecting the highest law of the land, our US Constitution?

What video were you watching? He was *extremely* threatening, and any security force worth a crap would have removed him well before this one did.The failure on the part of security here was ever allowing him to make it to the microphone in the first place.

I'm disagreeing with their use of force to remove him from the podium. But then I would also like to know why he wasn't really interested in getting an answer when he seemed so intent on asking his question. It is possible to have more than one talking point in a statement.

It amazes me that someone would actually ask this question. I would have been appalled during the Viet Nam era, when students had balls and stood up to speak their minds. But today? Entitled kids who don't care to get involved in anything meaningful, except what concerns them and them alone. Look around you. A war with no end in sight, raging longer than WWII. Where are the young people? Where's the outrage. Oh, I forgot. "Don't touch my stuff, hands off my iPod, I can do what I want (cuz that's how I was raised). Welcome to the world of "me"?
