UC Protest Movement Continues to Unfold

UC Berkeley students headed back to Sproul Plaza Wednesday evening to discuss possible actions to protest the university’s budget cuts and related topics.

After a hugely successful student and faculty walkout Thursday, Sept. 24, which received national and international media coverage, about 200 students took part in a general assemby at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 30. The meeting had barely begun by the time the Daily Planet went to press.

Student organizers said the meeting was intended as a grassroots effort to brainstorm ideas about future rallies or activities surrounding the cuts.

“It’s for students who want to get involved,” said Tu Tran, chair of UC Berkeley’s Associated Students of the University of California. “More like a strategy session.”

LOL - i.e. they were clueless, drunk, stoned, and trying to pick up girls by talking about "meaningful" issues while exchanging contact info...

Let's see if I understand this. The 20 million illegals in Mexifornia (most of whom are on some kind of public assistance) don't provide enough taxes to support the Marxist regime at Berkley, so they are walking out - shutting the place down.

I must say, I've often thought that would be a good idea.

Why don’t these ignoramuses realize and respect it’s the same system which allows them the freedom to protest dumbassly!
