the first amendment paralyzed...permanently?

andrew meyers. he is a student at the university of florida. he exercised his first amendment right to ask john kerry a couple of questions at a 2007 forum. after meyers asked some exposing questions that john kerry choked on, his mic got turned off. then some police officers came and attempted to arrest him. meyers resisted (what a horrible crime!) and- long story short- he got tasered. couldn't be that bad right? it's just a taser. the dictionary defines taser as a weapon firing barbs (or spikes like on a barbed wire) attached by wires to batteries, causing temporary paralysis. PARALYSIS? PARALYSIS! wow. so now ask yourself this: did meyers get tasered for resisting arrest or for going against a governmental official? if you say resisting arrest, why was he arrested in the first place? for speaking out against a governmental official? exactly. america is based off of freedom. but why do we hear a story every so often about someone being assaulted or killed for exercising their freedoms? that is what sets us apart from those other countries. why do we have to fight for our rights, when we're supposedly born with them? now it's your turn to be the judge:



everytime i watch it & hear him scream i get chills. not only because the police tased meyers, but because of why this happened. all of this because he spoke out AGAINST john kerry. the government does this on purpose. they do this to shut us up. they want us to be afraid to speak out against the government. they want their citizens to know that we can speak out, but they want us to be afraid to speak out. and there will always be those select few who refuse to be held down. no ones voice should be taken away. YOUR VOICE IS YOUR GREATEST ART!!!

a youtuber suggested the america will turn into the video below. the video is good but personally, the lyrics weren't delivered well. it does make me think about the future of america. and we need to consider the future of america. we need to do our part!!

lyrics to Sepultura - Refuse/Resist

Chaos A.D.
Tanks on the streets
Confronting police
Bleeding the plebs
Raging crowd
Burning cars
Bloodshed stars
Wholl be alive?!

Chaos A.D.
Army in siege
Total alarm
Im sick of this
Inside the state
War is created
No mans land
Wholl be alive?!

Refuse/Resist
Refuse

Chaos A.D.
Disorder unleashed
Starting to burn
Starting to lynch
Silence means death
Stand on your feet
Inner fear
Your worst enemy

Refuse/resist
Refuse/resist


REFUSE, RESIST! FIND YOUR ART, MASTER YOUR ART, EXPRESS YOUR ART, AND PRESERVE YOUR ART! IT'S THE ART OF RHETORIC AND DON'T ALLOW IT TO BE PARALYZED PERMANENTLY.
