Taser Boy Update

Remember that brat that made a scene at a university John Kerry speech and got tasered for his trouble? Well, here’s an update:

Andrew Meyer, the University of Florida student who was Tasered by campus police in September, may have staged the disturbance in an effort to disrupt a political forum at the Gainesville campus, a state police report concludes.

The report from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, released Wednesday by the university, cleared UF police of wrongdoing in subduing Meyer, 21.

Furthermore:

In the 17-page summary of the report, FDLE said it spoke with several witnesses who said that days before the event Meyer vowed to put on ”a show” at the Kerry event.

According to the report, during a Sept. 11 Gators for Rudy [Giuliani] rally, Meyer got into an argument with another student and told a friend that “if he liked what he had seen that he should go to the Kerry speech and he would really see a show.”

And my personal favorite quote:

”They should have beat him with some batons while they were at it,” Kaster said.

Now all that is left is to see if they decide to go ahead with the charges and if his attorney can manage to convince a judge and jury that Mr. Meyer is an innocent, sweet lad who was wrongfully abused, which might be difficult if there are already witnesses on file saying he was talking about putting on a “show” in the days leading up to the event.
