Quote:I do not see any reason to a.) remove him in the first place, or b.) taser him when he resists. It's not as if he's attacking them (and I even believe that at some point he says he'll leave if they let him get up).
So if they aren't going to remove him, what do they do when he woln't shut up? Stand around for 1/2 hr while he yells at a sitting senator and a war hero? And I believe that you believe that he SAYS he will leave... I don't know why you believe that he would. Don't they have this radical protest culture in Europe?
The guy has freedom of speech rights to his wacky conspiracy theories. He could stand outside with a bull horn and a sign. He can post it to the internet. He could have quickly and respectfully made his point. He has no right to try and monopolize the mic a private function. Once the police make it clear you have to leave, not leaving is civil disobeadiance, and you take your chances.
