Welcome to the Florida Reich

This is a difficult video to watch. Important elements to consider, in my view:

Do you think the guy was intoxicated or just nervous? Mentally ill? Could he possibly have been known to campus security as a mentally ill person? (It should go without saying -- but does not -- that this would be absolutely no excuse for tasering him.)

Does this feel at little theatrical? Could it be a staged attempt to discourage people from confronting candidates or other public figures?

Staged or not, known troublemaker or not, would you sit there and applaud while a person is wrestled to the ground and tased when there is NO indication that he was an imminent physical threat to anyone?
