Just a wild guess, but I’m thinking the collars and cuffs don’t match.

[SERE_DOC]

Yup....

It’s an excellent show for adults, but it’s chock full of nudity, orgies, and very graphic butchery.

and incest... so many wrongs...

"I'm a middle-aged art professor. I don't own any firearms."

With zero parenting skills (who would let a 7 year old watch that crap)

Not to mention a cowardly troglodyte ie "I don't own any firearms"

This thread makes me so not miss television.

When Schmidt asked the officials why they thought the quote was threatening, one said, "'when you see the word fire, then someone shows up with an AK-47 here shooting everybody,'" he told the paper.

That college administrator must be on drugs. (And if not, he/she needs to be.)

New Jersey Obama voters — all.

If the little girl had worn a shirt with the words “ my two mommies make love in the livingroom while I watch” no one would have said anything.

How did we Americans ever conquer the wilderness, settle the west, and win World Wars I and II????

Never watched one either but the world is filled with immorality. One can’t pretend it’s not so.

It does make me wonder, who lets a 7 year old watch that show. It’s an excellent show for adults, but it’s chock full of nudity, orgies, and very graphic butchery.””

How do you know he let’s his daughter watch the show?

How do you know he let’s his daughter watch the show?

I don't know, but it seems likely if she has a t-shirt of the character it's because she's a fan. I suppose it's possible she just liked the shirt.

“It does make me wonder, who lets a 7 year old watch that show”

Where does it say she ever watched it?

In another article:

But Schmidt, a tenured professor, believes it was retaliation for a grievance he filed after being denied a sabbatical about two months prior to the incident.

“This was payback because I filed a grievance,” he said.

The college is having union issues.

He tried to explain that the quote was from “Game of Thrones,” but the officials claimed they didn’t know the show, Schmidt said.
So an official from Human Resources went into the hallway and asked the secretaries if any of them had heard of the series and one came forward and confirmed that the quote was from the show, Schmidt said.

Schmidt told The Record he believes the suspension may have been retaliation for a previous grievance he filed with the college prior to the incident.
The school has also been embroiled in labor negotiations.

>>who would let a 7 year old watch that crap

I can’t find any statement at all that the kid watched the show - ever. Can you direct me to it?

[Straight Vermonter]

Just a wild guess, but I’m thinking the collars and cuffs don’t match.

Correct but she is quite lovely as a brunette as well.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Yes, indeed.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

"For God's sake, I'm a middle-aged art professor. I don't own any firearms."

Maybe but he's not very smart. He just told every crook out there that he's an easy target.

Really? Who would even make the link from that t-shirt? This 'officials' response did 100 times more to plant that idea or link than any t-shirt.

How did we Americans ever conquer the wilderness, settle the west, and win World Wars I and II????

Simple. We used to censure, ridicule and ostracize these types of nitwits when they had the temerity to open their mouths and spew their drivel. Some were committed, some were 'excised'.
