BERKELEY PROTESTS SHUT DOWN PETER THIEL SPEECH
Breitbart ^ | December 11 2104 | by JOEL B. POLLAK

On Wednesday evening, in the very hall where the University of California at Berkeley had just celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Free Speech Movement, demonstrators shut down a speech by billionaire tech guru--and noted libertarian--Peter Thiel.

The activists who broke into Wheeler Hall were protesting the non-indictment of police officers in the deaths of black suspects Michael Brown and Eric Garner in Ferguson, MO and Staten Island, NY for the fifth straight evening.

It’s very likely that the irony utterly escapes the “protesters”.

There is nothing so ugly as a closed mind.

These “protesters” are the quintessence of bigotry.

It appears there are a whole lot of selfish thug hooligans at UC Berkeley...
if they’re not studying, they need to be removed from the campus (and, hopefully, community?).

if they block other people’s legal rights to travel, assemble, speak.... they must be arrested and incarcerated, punished......

where are the police? where are the “campus police”? where are the administators? where is Governor Jerry Brown?

these thugs are part of the reason why so many Californians are afraid to visit the UC campuses anymore
(more or less try to study or work there)

but the politicans, including good governor Brown, do nothing to clean this up

nothing.

Anybody recognize this picture? Once upon a time, there was a California University President who had the guts to take on these hooligans.

free speech........yes.
right to petition govt re grievances.....yes.
free assembly......yes.

block people or cars lawfully on the public way...NO
threaten people........NO.
disrupt or deny other speakers........NO
sh@t and p&ss on passersby...NO

1. punish the thug hooligan terroristas
2. expel any who are students or faculty there
3. require them to pass a bonehead remedial course in “Basic Human Civility” before letting them off parole

it is a shame the rest of us have to suffer and pay for the disgusting and selfish hooliganism of these selfish Ah@oles. makes one wonder if they ever really did have parents?

If Hillary! doesn’t run for POTUS, I could easily see her sliding into some gravy deal as an Ivy League major domo.

yes.
at one time, a deanship (or college presidency) was considered quite a responsible calling...

in the “good old days” anyway.
