“I was the main person in charge of managing the servers in the basement of that building, which are used by me and a large group of researchers in CLSP [Center for Language and Speech Processing],” Povey said.

“That morning I was told the situation could last for weeks, and during that time we would have no physical access to the building. Servers were already starting to crash, and I felt it would not be long before our whole research infrastructure was unavailable.”

If they touched him, I would think he could have used the bolt cutters on the protesters.

Further proof that the inmates are running the asylums aka “institutions of higher learning”.

I guess the old saying that Communism is alive and well in the United States is true. Now it’s thriving or should I say matastisising. Communism is anathema to a real American. How you can have so many people that are radically changed is more than just being enamoured by the “virtues” of Marxism,there has to be a concertive effort by a select group of agitators. They have to be exposed as who they really are: The ENEMY.

We used something like a bolt cutter down on the farm to "fix" the bull calves.

He should have called the Fire Marshall. Surely chaining doors closed with occupants inside violates safety protocols in any building, in any city.

Johns Hopkins University is extreme left wing.

Emasculator most likely.

Good tool for tools.

The university is far too irresponsible to be granted a police force.

Good point - you’re right.
Locking fire egress is a crime.

He gave the university cover. He became their scapegoat.

'It wasn't us! It was him!'

A sacrifice to the mob.
