How angry are you at people who disagree with you on the Kerry taser incident?

Just out of curiosity.

1. Not mad at all, just mildly amused.

[peace frog]

2. Angry?

It is to laugh. Of course they agree with the student tasering, what else can you expect from freeps?

[bryant69]

4. Lot of non freeps think that this was a manufactured incident. n/t

7. As do I

The way the kid acted on camera vs off camera convinced me.

I wouldn't go as far as some who say he was paid.

I think he just wanted the attention. "Look at me!" and so forth. Screaming when he was on camera, quiet as a mouse when he wasn't.

I think the tasering went too far. Coulda just handcuffed the kid. But some here who've been arrested say that the best thing is not to resist arrest.

I'm more annoyed that people think there was much Kerry could do, or that there was some sort of conspiracy so that the kid couldn't ask that specific question. I'm even more annoyed that Skull and Bones was brought up again, and some here agree with that bullshit. That angle belongs in the Enquirer, not here.

Kerry had wanted to continue, and told the cops he wanted to answer the question. He wasn't happy that the cops interrupted. He's handled people like that before. But I'm not even sure the kid WANTED an answer so much as to rant with a mic and an audience.

17. Exactly my perspective Little Clarkie!

[peace frog]

13. Even if it was manufactured

not angry at a difference of opinion.

3. Not mad at all

Isn't this site supposed to be about discussing differences of opinion? Though I'm a little disappointed by the nastiness and smugness on both sides of this issue, but that's a sign of an intense debate.

5. not really mad...

I actually thought the guy raised some pretty good questions.
I understand his anger & find it difficult at times to speak about the issues of the day w/out expressing it emotionally as well.

6. I am not pleased with my opponents. However...

They have points to make. I think they're wrong but I don't think they're malicious or spiteful.

[SayWhatYo]

8. very! It makes me want to taser them...

not really though... I do want to taser myself sometime though.

12. Oh my god I can't believe it - I got on L.Coyates ignore list? How will i live with myself n/t

[Chovexani]

14. You're in good company

We've got a club now. With punch and pie!

[mmonk]

15. I've never put anyone on ignore and I've been here quite awhile.

Does the person not show up in any threads or just doesn't in replies?

[Marrah_G]

18. Well, I am off to start a new Taserman thread! see you there!!

[kdmorris]

22. So, do you think that there's nothing to talk about?

Are you going to ignore EVERYONE. As I've said, this guy is no hero, but there are legitimate concerns with the use of tasers in the police force. Andrew Meyer did NOTHING to help that cause. In fact, there's a really good chance that by acting like a huge asshole, he set back the cause for years. The police taser children, elderly, pretty much anyone they feel like. Is that not a concern for you?

Seems like putting everyone on ignore is juvenile.

[mmonk]

10. Not

Hope that's brief enough.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

11. Disagreements are what make horseraces and interesting conversation.

And, on occasion, revolutions.

[mmonk]

16. Do not!

Just kidding.;-)

[Zavulon]

19. Not in the slightest angry about the disagreement, although

some of the "my viewpoint is the only reasonable one, and if you don't agree you're a blind fucking idiot" types are getting on my nerves.

20. Florida Excessive Force Incident

I'm angry because we're so fucking stupid to let opportunities to make change pass us by. Time after time after time.

[H2O Man]

21. Not at all.

Differences in perception are fine.

[OzarkDem]

23. Not angry

Disappointed in some and I've lost respect for a few.
