The Resume

    (circa 1986- )
    Journalism student at the University of Florida
    Tasered and arrested for disturbing the peace at a John Kerry Q&A session (September 17, 2007)

Why he might be annoying:

    Several articles that he wrote for the campus newspaper were rejected as too inflammatory.
    He has a history of pranks, such as standing in the street with a sign revealing the ending of the last 'Harry Potter' book.
    His email handle is famouswriterman.
    Several observers think he deliberately staged the confrontation with the police.
    Just before asking his question, he asked a friend with a video camera if she was taping him.
    He cut off another student to ask his question.
    After his rambling question went over the allotted time and his mic was cut off, he started shouting his question at Kerry.
    The police report claims that when he was escorted down a flight of stairs with no cameras in sight, he was quiet; when they emerged in front of cameras again, he resumed screaming and yelling.

Why he might not be annoying:

    When the police first led him away from the mic, Kerry said, 'That's all right, let me answer his question.'
    Many observers thought the police reaction was excessive.
    He may have been tasered after the cops had already gotten handcuffs on him.
    His shout of 'Don't tase me, bro!' may become the 'All your base are belong to us' of 2007.
    He did not reveal the real ending of Harry Potter.
