John Kerry just can't catch a break. First there was that whole losing the presidency to G.W. thing, then the lack of education lands you in Iraq comment, and now this.
A local Florida news station is reporting that a University of Florida student was tasered after asking John Kerry possibly controversial questions that included whether Kerry was in the "Skull and Crossbones" society with George W. Bush. That's the short story. Upon reviewing the tape however it can be seen that the student had a confrontational tone and had apparently "used up his alotted time." So maybe the kid was slightly obnoxious; our esteemed Senator didn't seem too phased and agreed to answer his questions. The scene didn't get out of control until the police started man-handling the student.
The kid totally freaks and starts running and screaming to get away from the police, begs not to be tasered, and screams in pain when he is. It's a rough video to watch, check it out below and see for yourself.
Poor John Kerry, at least he'll always have his millions, (waning?) political power, and tomato-lovely wife....

I seriously doubt this guy was juiced by the police, they never taser someone while they're touching them; basic electricity. I do, however, think, they should have for the entertainment value!
You can hear the taser's distinctive sound on the tape.
