A community college student in Massachusetts faces possible disciplinary action for shouting "Remember Chappaquiddick!" during an on-campus speech by Democrat Sen. Edward Kennedy yesterday.
Paul Trost, 20, a student at Massasoit Community College in Brockton, Mass., says he was upset by an introduction of Kennedy given by Rep. Stephen Lynch, D-Mass., in which the congressman noted how the long-time senator overcame hardship in life on his way to success.

"Lynch said Kennedy had overcome such adversity to get to the place he was, and that's a bunch of bull," Trost said of the introduction, which occurred in the school's student center yesterday morning.
Just as Kennedy began speaking, Trost was walking out of the room when he shouted, "Remember Chappaquiddick!"
"Most of the crowd gasped," Trost said. "Then I walked out of the student center."
The student says a campus police officer went outside and stopped him. He also saw some state troopers go outside, the type who accompany Kennedy around the state to provide security.
Trost says the cop took down his information and told him he would be hearing from school officials about disciplinary action. A spokesman with the campus police verified the incident but stressed that Trost was not arrested.
The student said one of his teachers confronted him after a class about the Chappaquiddick issue.

There once was a young Senator from Mass,
Who wanted a nice piece of ass,
He lucked out and found one,
Screwed up and drowned one,
And now his career's in the past.

And while we're remembering things, let's not forget how Bush sat there for 7 minutes after being told the US was under attack.

Okay....anybody want to clue me in to what IN THE WORLD President Bush has to do with a thread about a student giving ted kennedy just what he deserved?
Or does this just prove that all the Bush haters just can't stop talking about him, no matter the subject.
While the democratic party complains about everything THIS President does to protect our Nation:
What would a Democrat president have done at that point? Apparently, the answer is: Sit back and wait for the next terrorist attack.

What was that line Kennedy said while looking into the camera after the incedent? Oh yeah, I got it he said; I did not have sexual relations with that woman.
Ohhhhh wait.....while i'm trying to remember things, i'm remembering it all wrong.

Another fine thread derailed with innuendo that's not relevent to the OP.

This was a tragic accident, that in my opinion should have led to a manslaughter charge. Was he ever charged? I don't remember.

Chappaquiddick Kid' off hook with college
Officials won't discipline self-described liberal who heckled Kennedy as senator began speech
Posted: February 23, 2006
5:00 p.m. Eastern
The college where a student shouted 'Remember Chappaquiddick!' as Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., began a speech will not discipline the 20-year-old – even though campus police had warned the man of possible consequences of his action.
As WorldNetDaily reported, Paul Trost, a student at Massasoit Community College in Brockton, Mass., was upset by an introduction of Kennedy given by Rep. Stephen Lynch, D-Mass., Tuesday in which the congressman noted how the long-time senator overcame hardship in life on his way to success.
Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass.
"Lynch said Kennedy had overcome such adversity to get to the place he was, and that's a bunch of bull," Trost said of the introduction, which occurred in the school's student center.
Just as Kennedy began speaking, Trost was walking out of the room when he shouted, "Remember Chappaquiddick!"
"Most of the crowd gasped," Trost said. "Then I walked out of the student center."
The student says a campus police officer went outside and stopped him. He also saw some state troopers go outside, the type who accompany Kennedy around the state to provide security.
Trost says the cop took down his information and told him he would be hearing from school officials about disciplinary action. A spokesman with the campus police verified the incident but stressed that Trost was not arrested.
Dick Cronin, a spokesman for Massasoit Community College, told WND today that Trost is off the hook.
"The college plans absolutely no disciplinary action against Mr. Trost," Cronin said. "It was simply a matter of communication from our campus police to Mr. Trost. The matter is now dropped."
A representative of the United States Justice Foundation offered pro bono legal assistance to Trost had he faced sanctions from the college.
'Can't you forgive him?'
Trost said one of his teachers confronted him after a class Tuesday about the Chappaquiddick issue.
"One of my teachers called me ignorant and told me this was an embarrassment to the school," Trost told WND. "She said to me, 'Can't you forgive him after all these years?' And I said, 'No, he killed somebody.'
"If it had been me or any other person, we'd be in jail," Trost says he told his instructor.
Referring to his two-word shout, Trost said, "I did it because I know about Kennedy's past. I know what happened at Chappaquiddick.
"I wanted to send a message to him that my generation still knows about it. We haven't forgotten about it."
Mary Jo Kopechne
Trost said he was satisfied to know that students on campus were talking about the Chappaquiddick incident later in the day – some of whom, in fact, were not familiar with it.
In 1969, Kennedy was driving a car that went off a bridge on Chappaquiddick Island, off the coast of Martha's Vineyard, Mass. His passenger, Mary Jo Kopechne, was killed after the car landed upside down in the water. No autopsy was ever performed to determine her exact cause of death.
At the time, Kennedy claimed he tried several times to swim down to reach Kopechne to no avail. He came under fire for not reporting the incident to authorities until the next morning. In the interim he reportedly made an effort to call a family legal adviser.
Trost, a liberal arts major who has protested the Iraq war, says he's not a right-winger.
"I tend to have what would be considered liberal views," he explained, "but I go with whatever I think is right."
Said Trost: "I don't regret what I did."
Trost's father, Edward, who calls himself a conservative, says he's proud of his son.
"He didn't do it to be obnoxious," Edward Trost said. "He was really offended."

It's a slow process, Bear.. I've insisted on keeping my own looks so it won't be a shock to family and friends. Every once in a while I slip up and sip my coke-cola through my right ear though, and that has brought a few curious looks! I guess you don't feel the same about me now that I've been probed, huh?
