What exactly was the question that the student asked?
What happened afterwards? Did he sue or something like that?
What is your opinion on the whole situation

He was timed in his question like all others were, and he took too long to ask his question, and ran over way too long indirectly trying to ask his question, and would not cease and desist from asking the question, so we saw what happened. He was eventually arrested for resisting and refusing to cease and desist. The taser use may have been a little harsh, but most of the audience (although they may have been in shock at the entire proceeding) said nothing (maybe out of fear). It took too long, in my opinion, for security to resolve the issue.

It wasn't just one question, but a huge number. When he was told that his time was up and to allow others to ask questions, he basically told the ones running things that he had the right to ask any question he wanted, and he wasn't done. And the crowd was getting rather upset with the guy as well, since it didn't matter what the answer was, he would just ask another question just to try and get the answer he wanted. He wanted to become a soundbyte, I just think he was hoping for something more "important" than his trademark slogan. . .

The real story is that he is a professional agitator who went to disrupt the meeting and the audiences right of free speech. The 'don't tase me bro' line was rehearsed.

"Where were you on Christmas Eve in '68?" Just kidding. He'd apparently went over his allotted time limit and was told to sit down. Did he sue? No, as a matter of fact, the organizers apparently had threatened to sue him over the whole ordeal.
My opinion? The dem.s are the ones whining and carrying on about an infringement on their rights! Strikes me, the boy's freedom of speech right was extremely violated. And it was the dem.s who did the violating.

He was ranting about the war and other things. The idea was that people were allowed to ask a question and let others ask also. He was just a jerk that wanted to screw things up. He did resist arrest and should have gotten far worse for his efforts. He even arranged to have his crap videotaped. No jury with half a brain would pay him a penny.

Clearly the guy was there, not to ask a question but, to disrupt the meeting. He should have been tased more.

I think he just went on for a very long time about the war.
He resisted arrest I think.

My reaction is since when do people get jumped by police and tasered just for asking questions to a presidential candidate????
I think police tend to overuse and abuse the taser.

he tried to sue and lost. in my opinion he should have been tazed a few more times just for being stupid.it is one thing to ask a question and another to go on and on for 3 minutes.this was disruptive behavior.he deserved it.
