Statement by John Kerry on Andrew Meyers arrest...
by Rick Albertson on September 18th, 2007
Senator Kerry made the following statement in response to the arrest of a student at the University of Florida:
In 37 years of public appearances, through wars, protests and highly emotional events, I have never had a dialogue end this way.
I believe I could have handled the situation without interruption, but again I do not know what warnings or other exchanges transpired between the young man and the police prior to his barging to the front of the line and their intervention.
I asked the police to allow me to answer the question and was in the process of answering him when he was taken into custody.
I was not aware that a taser was used until after I left the building. I hope that neither the student nor any of the police were injured.
I regret enormously that a good healthy discussion was interrupted.
I posted a response to his statement...let's see what happens...
Dear Senator Kerry;
With all due respect, I was extremely appalled not to hear your voice raised in protest to these events. Also, can't you help this young man with his legal problems?
Peace,
Pamela Austin
PS I voted for you during many elections. I believed your message. Now I'm not so sure.
