Amiss and Andy

When I first saw the video of Andrew Meyer being tazed at a John Kerry event I thought something amiss here, smells phony, phony, phony. The event happened one afternoon and by early morning dozens and dozens of "amateur" videos of the incident were on youtube. (First clue that Andy is not of sound mind is he attended a John Kerry event.)

Meyer has a penchant for catching practical jokes on video and posting on his own website. Stupid white boy of the Generation Nexters, "look at me" the "fun generation", aiding and abetting the numbing and dumbing of America. Meyer may not have planned on being tazed but he knew he was catching himself on tape pretending to be politically aware in a face-off with a famous person. Asking if Kerry was a member of a secret society (Skull and Bones) Andy has great investigative journalism potential.

Meyer's staged prank gets air time and misdirected outrage. It's tryanny, it's dictatorship they cry. No, it's just another spoiled white boy, aspiring wannabee, creating his 15 minutes.

It's enough to make some people think the attention seeking "bro" should experience Giuliani's gestapo at the end of a plunger. Or, if the Jena 6 can face 20 years for attempted murder with a tennis shoe – lets charge Andy, just for look-at-me fun, with conspiracy and attempting to incite a riot and let him sit in jail for awhile, with a sleepy court appointed lawyer and no funds; while thousands experiencing genuine injustice across the nation go unnoticed.
