Answer: All these idiots were resisting the police. Which would you prefer, a taser, a billy club, or following instructions like an adult instead of a childish temper tantrum?

Now, you have to know this about me: I am huge Marlins fan, and a born heckler. My purpose in life is to badger, jeer, and cajole professional athletes. I have angered two other All-Star baseball players, Bobby Abreu and Odalis Perez, on separate occasions. I have booed singers that mess up the national anthem. Heck, I’ll even heckle other hecklers if I don’t care for their stuff. What happened during this particular game was destined to be, the paths of Griffey and I on a collision course.Andrew's Bio Andrew's Website Google Cache Snapshot of Cache The next video:
I couldnt get to my camera in time to record his entrance, but this guy basically comes running in with 4 or 5 cops in tow and says he has been running around trying to get in to ask a question and the cops are going to arrest him for it. they almost do it then but Sen. Kerry says he will answer it. he then answers a previous question someone else asked (i cut that part out because it isnt important to this video) then the guy asks his questions and when he is done all hell breaks lose. to the cop haters: i have no doubt the cops were going exactly by the book, the problem isnt them, its the book!So, by this description, the guy has already been misbehaving, and has attracted the attention of the police. This guy is a trouble maker. Anyhow, the youtuber fozzymandias has videos of the Andrew Myer protest, if you want to watch. The videos of the protest reveal an ignorant attempt by UF Students to make something out of nothing, much like the Kuhn case in Asheville recently. At least there weren't enough idiots in Asheville to stage a major demonstration...they just spent a lot of time whining to each other. **Update** Another set of UF protest videos [Pt1] [Pt2] [Pt3] from a different angle. **Video Update**
