Troopers arrested an MIT student at gunpoint Friday after she walked into Logan International Airport wearing a computer circuit board and wiring on her sweatshirt. Authorities call it a fake bomb; she called it art.

PEOPLE. You are turning the best Americans into fugatives.

Well, that got me thinking about a good story. You see, for about four centuries after Jesus died, early Christians hid their religion from the Roman empire. If you spoke out, the Romans would feed you to the lions. Christians were forced to pray in secret, and they buried their dead in vast, underground catacombs. Well, then in 391, Theodosius the Great made Christianity the official Roman religion. Now there are 2 billion Christians on this planet.

Taser A story of hushed talked and hand signals.

Interesting video! This clearly depicts that, at a certain point, a plainclothes individual tells the police when to assault the kid. It seems to be the Skull and Bones question that made them cut his microphone. That was what made them decide to tackle him.

So who, exactly, is this guy? The decider. He knows when you’ve used up all your free speech.

I truly find it difficult to have any sort of compassion for this young man.  The footage we have seen is very straight forward.  This person crossed a line in public behavior that brought on consequences, and he was apparently very willing to escalate things to ever greater levels.

These are some of the most disturbing comments I have ever read. If these comments are real, then the townsfolk are literally crying out for an authoritarian overlord at every public assembly.

Is this really what Americans believe?

“I support the police 100%. I do believe that if they had used the oppropriate level of force and restrained this guy and escorted him out effectivly from the begining things would not have escalated to to the point that they did. He should not have been able to struggle free flalling his arms about, ect. He got taserd because he refused to comply to the police. We have given police this kind of authority for a reason. When things go wrong and someone is able to hurt others we complain that the police didn’[t use enough force. Let them do their job, let this be a message that we should learn to respect the police and and understand that they will do what they have been trained to do to keep us all safe.

Asshole: we explicitly did NOT grant the police the authority to swarm us while we questioned our representatives.

The only sure thing that can be said from watching this video is that Meyer had the power to stop the confrontation by complying with the Officer’s lawful order. I believe the Officers involved showed great restraint in the incident. The descion to use multiple Officers and the Taser demonstrated to me the Officers not wanting to cause bodily harm to Meyer.

What!?!? It’s NOT lawful to attack someone like that, especially since Kerry agreed to hear the question! Lawful order?!?! You’re a crackhead!

I felt all along that the student was at fault. Then I heard that he is known for video-taping his “pranks” for which he is well-known on campus. This was purely a bid to get attention, and he certainly has done that. Stop reporting it and he’ll go away.

At fault!?! He was talking, and then the police were shoving him away from the microphone. Kerry said he would answer the question. What, exactly, is he at fault for?

I believe that this student was being unruly. It shows him cursing while questioning Kerry. As soon as the guards were trying to usher him out, he should have complied. Instead he fought while pushing and pulling to get away from the guards. This student was at fault!

Hold on a second - he was at fault for being unruly? He was cursing? IT WAS A FUCKING POLITICAL FORUM. He pointed out that Clinton was impeached for getting a blowjob, and that W should be impeached before he starts a war with Iran. That’s over the line?

These comments are so far out as to be completely unbelievable. They’re not real people - paid shills from France or something. That’s not how rugged, gun-toting, freedom-loving Americans roll. It’s not how Americans talk. It’s simply the wimpiest, most pathetically cowardly way to react to an obvious abuse of authority. The kid was NOT testing the limits of free speech, but the cops were testing the limits of reasonable force… and the heartland of America decides that sort of violence is good for this country?

Naughty! He said blowjob. My virgin ears. TAKE HIM DOWN. TASE HIM AGAIN. KILL KILL KILL.

I’ve been debating for a while whether I should post this or not. This photo was taken in flight in the washroom of an airplane after passing through security at an international terminal. Yes, that’s a box cutter, like what was used in the 9/11 attacks (taken on accidentally). Not only that but they searched the bag that contained it and missed it. Not only that, but they did require pouring out a coffee that had been bought at the entrance to the security line-up. Well, that made me feel safe.

Security theater.

Creation Science Evangelism has submitted many copyright violations on youtube in the past few days. The owner of the ministries is Kent Hovind who over the last 20 years has been seen as a public liar. He has held many lectures where he spends hours making people more ignorant as to how evolution works. He now sits in a jail cell for having refused to pay $840,000 in taxes. His defense the whole time was that his money belonged to God and nobody else.
He has stated that none of his material is copyrighted, and so far all of the instances of videos that have been pulled would have fallen within the boundaries of fair use.

Short version: Creation Science Evangelism uses false copyright notices to trick YouTube into deleting certain accounts.
