Ahead of the event, UMass Chancellor Kumble Subbaswamy communicated his support in an email to the campus community, saying, “It will assuredly raise awareness of what Ferguson reveals about the state of racial justice in our country and will provide an opportunity for our community to come together in solidarity.”

Good to know that UMass is in good hands!

we should be so lucky . . .

UMass is another school that needs to be closed, and the facilities used to house illegal immigrants or something more useful like the homeless.

Surprised that so many are still believing a lie. If Brown had surrendered and accepted that he was being arrested, he would be alive and awaiting trial today. The grand jury rejected the perjured story that Brown was complying with the policeman’s orders.

colleges used to have some minimal intelligence Entry Standards....

I’m picturing a fake medium in a turban peering into a crystal ball.

This whole viral Unarmed: Drink! game the past few months has left me needing a "stunt liver" to help provide coverage.

If I was paying that tuition, I’d be hot.

Wanna guess the academic (if one could call it that) majors of these students?

The fact that they have any time at all to devote to this low-IQ silliness pretty much tells you, not?

[Logical me]

Approximately 800 University of Massachusetts students, faculty and staff participated in a national “Hands Up, Walk Out” protest Monday afternoon.

This is a perfect example of ignorance in our Universities. Especially the faculty. America cannot afford to surrender to these sad kind of pigs.

Any student that didn’t walk out but their professor did should raise a huge stink with UMass. They are paying to be taught, not paying to have their professors walk out over something stupid and BS.

All faculty who participated in the walk out should be disciplined.

Sounds like Duke faulty

It doesn’t matter if it is true now.

Just like the spitting incident on a member of Congress during the Obamacare protest in DC. It’s now historical record that it happened even though there was no proof that it did.

Just like Palin saying that she could see Russia from her front porch, even though she never said that it was from a Saturday Night Live sketch, it is now public record that she said it. People repeat that all the time and most honestly do not know it’s not a real quote.

The media is powerful. Very very powerful. If you’re on the wrong side of it, watch out.

They really are Stupid!, If the Thug would have put his hands up his Pants would have fallen around his ankles, we would know about it.

[Dr. Thorne]

They should keep walking... off the campus to find a job.

unarmed black teenager Michael Brown.

Or, to put it another way, "armless black teenager Michael Brown."

[Maudeen]

Where are the alums of this university? They need to withhold donations. . .but then their hands area probably in the air, too.

[When do we get liberated?]

Compared to normal going ons at Amhearst, this is cerebral..
