Sure hope no one accidently dumps a 40 gallon barrel of ammonia upwind of their gathering.

Seems like colleges and universities are spending most of their time on “activism” these days.

The tiny percentage of college students who are actual scholars must find this very frustrating and annoying.

“I wonder if ZombieTime will be there.”

I hope a lot of conservative “activists” show up - just to attend, not to protest or mock them. Just to pose a lot of questions and get some activist tips. Would drive the lefties nuts!

I wonder if they will have concession stands for:

U-locks
black masks
helmets
body armor
Molotov cocktail how to books
funnels to fill bottles with urine
Sal Alinsky books
Che Memorabilia

Nah, don’t go to commit domestic terrorism. Conservatives should attend, come prepared with thousands of questions and asking for tips how to be better “activists”. It’s free and open to the public. Beat ‘em with their own rules. If it doesn’t beat ‘em, it’ll at least annoy the hell outta ‘em.

Santa Cruz is a steaming pile of leftist screw worms.

If I were nearby, I’d pass the hat around a charter buses, make it a weekend of fun for all! Well, not as much fun for the lefties having to deal with answering all the questions, heheheheh.

Last time I was in Santa Cruz, it was a zoo of lefties. The place was jammed with traffic and people. Some really obnoxious SC stooges told a person I was walking outside with close to the beach, to put out is cigarette. A riot nearly ensued. I was actually relieved when we left. Just pathetic.

LOL. $18,000 for one year tuition? Lets see, with rent, food, transportation etc, they’ll need another 25k just to live there and attend for a whole year.
