Are you kidding Dave? Seriously? The guy asked fairly legitimate questions, if slightly awkward and Kerry is clearly heard saying he wanted to answer them. He's a long way from Peter bloody Dow anyway. Arresting him, throwing him to the floor and then tazering him because he asked questions is blatantly over the top.

"Inciting a riot" what a fucking joke.
