Students storm library, shut down College Republicans meeting
Campus Reform ^ | October 18, 2017 | Celine Ryan

A College Republicans meeting at the University of California, Santa Cruz was taken over by protesters screaming that the group’s existence is a threat to the safety of students.

Shortly after the CR meeting convened, one student entered the ground floor room of McHenry Library to ask attendees which group was assembling. After being informed that the meeting was a gathering of College Republicans, the student returned about 15-20 minutes later with company.

Seems to me if UCSC tolerates the Leftist thugs then the school should be sued.

Call the police, tell them Neo-Nazis are attacking a student group.

If the school doesn’t act on behalf of the CR, it is a civil rights violation.

To hell with the silly-ass committees and appeal processes run by the universities. Any civil rights violation should be litigated in federal court.

Turnabout is always fair play.

Just saying.

The commotion culminated in one of the student activists running out into the main library area screaming that there were “Nazis downstairs,” but while the gimmick drew several spectators, many of them expressed indignation at the actions of the protestors.

“As a Democrat, I am embarrassed that some people on the left act this way,” remarked Phil Leonard Vogel, creator of the moderate campus news publication City on a Phil. “They give all of us a terrible name.”


Oh no. Dems have worked hard to earn the reputation they so richly deserve.

...According to the UCSC College Republicans, their offers to discuss the concerns of the protesters were met with exclamations that “dialogue is violence”.

Products of public education. The oldest millennials will be old enough to run for the Presidency in 2020.

“Seems to me if UCSC tolerates the Leftist thugs then the school should be sued.”

I’ll raise you to “closed”. Of course neither seems likely.

The instigator who screamed about Nazis and recruited others should be charged with inciting a riot, and likely much more.

It is frightening, not in a physical sense, but that thoughts like this can be openly expressed: “taken over by protesters screaming that the group’s existence is a threat to the safety of students”.

Between these commissars, and the push to indicate Trump is mentally unstable, we are seeing ideas that hadn’t been expressed openly since the USSR threatened the West. The Trump mental issue is straight out of the Soviet handbook, where anybody not “with the program” obviously had to be insane (and they disappeared).

It is high time people who attempt to crush dissent are dealt with violently; they have every intention of dishing it out.

When leftists violently and imminently threaten the lives of those at the Republican meeting, force should be used to stop that threat, even if some of the leftist suffer death or serious injury.

Administration officials should be charged as co-conspirators in such leftwing violent and life-threatening attacks against innocent students.

And it really can’t be referred to as a “University”!!

Obviously, this pseudo “university” should be shut down. It is not safe for students.

Intention? What are you talking about? Neo-Communists like this have attacked attendees to conservative speaker events at Berkeley and elsewhere, and rioted to shut them down. Civil authorities have looked on and taken little or no action.

So they have dished out violence, it goes well beyond intention, and it is long past time for a group like AntiFa to be dealt with as a criminal enterprise under RICO.

I should have been more clear; there will be outright murder (as has been seen directed towards policemen). They should be dealt with as insurrectionists, not just “criminals”.

“In the name of freedom, we must shut down your so-called free speech”!

Straight out of 1984.
