The University Administration acted swiftly, as well it should. Did the administration have a real appreciation of freedom of speech, or did it simply toss the cops under the bus when it got push back from alumni donors?

“and the cop that issued the citation, Officer David Turppa, was suspended for a week without pay.”
Should have fired his fascist ass.

Amazing that so much stupidity goes on at institutions of “higher learning”!

"There's a no-weapons policy here.”
“It's not a weapon.”
“I understand that..." At that point, I'm afraid I would have asked the intellectual giant in uniform just what made him think he was qualified to carry a weapon since he obviously have to take several classes at the University to raise his IQ to mere room temperature.

Not just the gun was criminalized, but also the thought of the gun.
They have criminalized thoughts and are using the police to prosecute.
Fascism.

A story correction: this incident occurred in Mobile, at the University of South Alabama. The story erroneously makes it appear that this happened in Tuscaloosa.

I’m sorry for the late ping. I was teaching and couldn’t get to it.

I consider turbans to be a greater threat. Maybe they should ban those too?

Though Bama football fans love the football, they cannot lose sight that this university, like all universities, have their pig minded, liberal mindset, anti-Christian, Obama loving, One World Dictator types, commie-socialist types in charge of class rooms and are doing all they can to twist the minds of kids.

...video at the site that shows the interaction taking place. If you want to see how free speech is chilled, watch it. When "progressive" fascists on the left want to scream, protest, shut down speakers they disagree with, and take over buildings, "progressives" call it free speech. When freedom fighters attempt the slightest expression of disapproval, their speech is shut down. Chilling...
