Student assaulted at Ann Coulter lecture in New Jersey
<skip>
After chatting with some people in the audience for a few minutes, I got in line to speak to Coulter. I was planning on introducing myself and following up to my question that I'd asked earlier; I did not find her response to be satisfactory. When it was my turn in line, I walked onto the stage, and toward Coulter. I was immediately cut off by two security officials, one a police officer, one in plainclothes. They said that I could not come up to her table if I did not have a book. I said I just wanted to ask a question, and approached the table. At no point did I make physical contact with anyone on stage. I simply “side-stepped†the individuals that obstructed me.
Coulter, apparently startled by the commotion caused by the two officials, jumped backwards in her chair, as if she thought I was on the verge of attack. I suppose Coulter is used to that kind of threat, but it was certainly not my intention whatsoever. I did not lunge at her, nor yell anything at her; I only calmly walked up to her table. But, as it happened, I did not utter more than three words of my question before I was forcibly escorted to the end of the stage, led down the stairs, told "you're outta here", and again pushed in the direction of the building's exit without so much as a pause or an explanation.
Not allowing myself to be physically removed without even being able to comment on what was going on, I then began to walk in the opposite direction, back toward the center of the auditorium where I had been sitting and mingling with people after the lecture. The officer suddenly started to pull my coat and grab at my shoulders. Instinctively, I didn't simply allow him to do this, and kept moving forward. I did not resist, nor did I shove or strike the officer in any way. I simply started walking in a different direction. I was then tackled to the ground by the officer and surrounded by several others. It was impossible for me to tell how many of them were involved, because my face had just hit the ground head first. One officer restrained me to the floor by my legs, while another knelt on my head, with his knee crushing my face. He applied a considerable amount of body weight, and my head was pressed against the carpet. I have a relatively large abrasion on the left side of my head and on my left ear. Here is a photo. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v452/bbsrock/sidehead... At this point, I was handcuffed.
I was then literally thrown out of the building via an emergency exit located right across the aisle. I again hit the ground, this time the grass. My glasses flew off my face. I'm very nearsighted, so I could not see much of what went on throughout the rest of this ordeal. Several times I asked for my glasses back and the officers either brushed me off, made some kind of joke, or flat-out refused. When asked why, their explanations were, "Because I said so." and "Because that's the way it is."

9. This is just Andrew Meyer all over again.
Sounds like Coulter didn't want to talk to this person, who was being aggressive even if not all that physically so. Meyer didn't even get close to Kerry.
It's private property. Don't mess with police officers. If you can sweet talk your way to what you want, do that, but otherwise, go home.
Somebody gets it.

But the somebody is not her.

15. The mistake he made was reversing course while being escorted out.
If he's being removed from this private property, he needs to respect that. That's the law. He didn't respect it- he physically resisted their ushering- and was physically taken control of.
However, I read his whole story and it does sound like the officers abused him while he was in custody. They were certainly unprofessional.
I don't think he should file a lawsuit but there's nothing wrong with him confronting the officers about their behavior.

21. Wasn't he on a university grounds?
Not private property
The stupid is strong with this one.
Will these idjits ever learn that if you get into a pissing match with the Police, you're going to jail.

No. They will never learn.

It sure is fun reading about these incidents. I start to fantasize about being a police officer. :lmao:

Ooooookay.
This is a story posted by the dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher.
How much is anybody willing to bet that by the time this is all figured out, all straightened out, all details aired, it's going to be.....well, the usual dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher stretchy?
The dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher has a habit of doing this.
This is going to be a stretchy comparable to the subway cat stretching a girdle made for someone with the build of Nancy Reagan.
Anybody wanna bet?

I am certain that there is video of any Ann Coulter appearance so eventually the actual truth will come out.
It has been my experience that whenever a person is relating an event they were involved in and with every other phrase was proclaiming their innocence it usually is a preemptive strike to cover up what they actually were doing.
Humans are funny that way,we all behave very similarly and casual observance as well as acceptance of our own faults gives a person great insight into these things.

The so called victim has the tale posted at DailyKos. The link is posted at the bottom of the 1st quote section in the OP.

Sounds like the police have had experience with rabid moonbats before.....
Hope they all had their shots.

It's all about the chance to confront someone he disagrees with and now he's trying to get as much publicity as possible out of it.
He deserved what he got.

if you go to his blog on huff'n puff - he's posted contact info for the people he wants hit by the lefties. We should all contact them and offer support.

So, let me get this straight. You were handcuffed, THEN thrown out.
:bsmeter:
Not buying it. IF you were handcuffed, your ass would be thrown into a paddy wagon....
Just another lying liberal....

Lying in the grass, my handcuffs were secured and I was then brought to my feet. As I was being escorted from the side of Kendall to the police car parked out front, the officers hurled insults at me, some very vulgar and provocative. Among the names I was called were "****ing asshole", "faggot," and "shithead." I later asked an officer if this was appropriate language to be using while on the job. He said, "I didn't learn it in the Academy." I said, "I'd hope not", to which he replied, "I learned it from dealing with assholes like you." These types of remarks continued for the duration of the encounter. :ha:
I was thrown into the back of a police car, with the handcuffs digging into my wrists. They had been put on incorrectly; one of them was twisted, squeezing both my wrists and resulting in some near-excruciating pain at certain points. As of the next day, my hands are still irritated and bruised.
yet those "irritation marks" in the photo could have easily been caused by him fidgeting around in the handcuffs. They were red marks, not broken skin.

Civil Disobediance is OUCHY Mommy! :(
What a tool.
I work with a lady in the Red Cross who still has the scar from the stitches a Chicago cop gave her breaking a nightstick over her head in '68.
She's 4 times the man this wussbag is.

I have bigger berries than this tool. :-)

I think I see the problem here. They opened the door BEFORE they tossed his ass out.
