Liberal Protests

"There is a long and honorable history of civil disobedience in the United States, but true civil disobedience ultimately honors and respects the rule of law."

 

"In a 1965 appearance on 'Meet the Press,' the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. described the principle perfectly: 'When one breaks the law that conscience tells him is unjust, he must do it openly, he must do it cheerfully, he must do it lovingly, he must do it civilly — not uncivilly — and he must do it with a willingness to accept the penalty.' 

 

 But what we’re seeing on a number of campuses isn’t free expression, nor is it civil disobedience. It’s outright lawlessness.

 

No matter the frustration of campus activists or their desire to be heard, true civil disobedience shouldn’t violate the rights of others.

 

Indefinitely occupying a quad violates the rights of other speakers to use the same space. Relentless, loud protest violates the rights of students to sleep or study in peace. And when protests become truly threatening or intimidating, they can violate the civil rights of other students, especially if those students are targeted on the basis of their race, sex, color or national origin."

I'm sure she was arrested for a hate crime and fired from her job, right? Right?

Unbelievable the double standards that exist. How is that not super racist?

 

Also I wouldn't give these kids too much credit. UNC is definitely not ivy league, that's ACC country. Bunch of rednecks that couldn't get into Duke

You know the thing I like best about clueless cosplaying

intersectional studies majors with masks and batons and

helmets colonializing campuses with garbage-strewn

barricaded shanty towns while policing Jew checkpoints in

a $9.95 reflective vest and mindlessly repeating genocidal

Hamas slogans from a professor with a bullhorn until they decide

it's time to smash the windows of the library and take that *****

over too?

 

When they start screaming "SHAME SHAME" as soon as somebody tries to stop them

WHY, INDEED? “But who are the outside agitators?

 

If they are not students, who are they?

 

How about some details?

 

Lots of them were arrested.

 

Why isn’t there a torrent of detail about what sort of people they are?”

The complete lack of curiosity by the MSM is telling.

Pro-Hamas Students Reportedly Trained by Left-Wing Groups Nine Months Before College Protests

by Sarah Arnold

 

Left-wing groups and activists have reportedly been receiving training for months ahead of the chaotic pro-terrorism protests occurring on college campuses.

 

According to a Wall Street Journal report, many of the pro-Hamas agitators have been consulting with groups such as National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP) and Samidoun: Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network for up to nine months. The protestors were reportedly trained on how to encourage college students to join in on the demonstrations and planning such turbulent events. The groups use social media to reach out to potential protestors and give them advice such as informing them to cover their faces.

Most college students reject protests

 

"Just 8% of students say they have taken part in pro or anti-Israel demonstrations that began at Columbia University April 17 and spread across America — and 81% want universities to hold protesters accountable who destroy property, vandalize, or illegally occupy campus buildings, per the survey carried out by Generation Lab for Axios.

 

In addition, two-thirds of students (67%) said that occupying campus buildings was an unacceptable form of protest, while 58% said the same of refusing orders to disperse.

 

Nine in 10 students said demonstrators blocking pro-Israel or Jewish students from accessing parts of campus — as notoriously happened at UCLA — was also unacceptable.

 

Just 13% of students said the Middle East war was one of the three most important issues to them — far behind topics such as health care, climate change, gun control and immigration.

 

Four in 10 students said healthcare reform was one of their top three issues, followed by educational funding (38%), economic fairness (37%), racial justice (36%), climate change (35%), gun control (32%), immigration (21%) and national security (15%)."

Huh, it's almost as if the protestors aren't representative of students as a whole and would likely be ignored if they weren't protesting at the kind of elitist institutions that journalists venerate.

What are you suggesting with your last paragraph? Ignore them? Laugh it off? Blame journalists for reporting on it?

Here is who it IS representative of. . . . . . . .  The Left.

 

 

Portland Radicals Admit Torching 17 Police Cars, Their Statement Is Nuts and All About Campus Protests

By Nick Arama

 

I've written before about how crazy the radical left is in Portland. 

 

We saw a recent example of that with how they took over the library at Portland State University. What they left was disgusting: they trashed the place. They had paint all over the floors and graffiti all over the walls, they smashed glass cases, they had makeshift weapons, and there were even reports of value book/comic collections missing from the library. Then when the police raided, many of them seemed to have been allowed to just run right out the front door. After the library was cleared out, they even had the gall to come back the next day to try it again. The police did arrest about 30 people over the course of two days, noting that some of them were not students. 

 

 

As I noted, the timing was highly suspicious considering it happened right before the raid on the PSU campus activists. 

 

Now a group calling itself "Rachel Corrie's Ghost Brigade" is admitting they did it to strike first at the police, believing a raid was coming.

Apparently he thinks   feels that Jewish students would not have been bullied if we had just not paid attention.
