I re-emphasise the "perspective and sense of humour" aspect of my post. Yes, he broke the rules of the venue, but this was not some matter of state or justice (though it became one) being discussed that would impact the lives of millions of people. Again, some perspective is needed, especially in regards to the fact he was just some college kid and Kerry is a politician, with all the privilege and power that comes with that.

The short answer is yes.

I emphatically restate the need for perspective and/or humour.

More than anything, Kerry proved himself to be the bigger asshole and jerk in this, by not stoping the police when he had the power to.

As he was being forcibly removed he resisted vigorously.

You don't seem to have watched the video. He was being held down by two/three police officers when he was tasered by another. They could have just escorted him out, if they had that much muscle power. Instead, they tortured him.

What about the other people who were patiently waiting their turn to ask Mr. Kerry questions?

As someone's who has been to discussions like these, two whole minutes is not that long to wait. And I would never, ever, endorse those who make this time go longer have their most basic physical rights violated by some pigs on a power trip, while a member of the new-order oligarchy stands up on the stage and looks on.

Again, perspective. Get some.
