Does anyone doubt that leftists will be prosecuting people for “thoughtcrimes” if they get full control in this country? (Of course, they’ve already begun in Europe...) Freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and an open-mind are an anathema to leftism. I find a lot of leftists’ slanderous rhetoric very hateful, so we get to play this hate speech game too, right? After all, this man was basing his complaint on his own personal feelings and not on anything objective.

On the other hand, though, the free-thinking, non-indoctrinated youth will probably be better off if the university does move his roommate.

The whole concept of, "intent" as written into law is abhorrent to me. Whether Hillary "intended" to hide her communications from prying eyes is irrelevant. Whether, "hate" plays any role in assault or murder is also pure excrement.

It takes no imagination at all to see that Twitter and Fakebook are, "policing" thought crimes and that freedoms are being destroyed in the process. The snowflakes are the biggest perpetrators of outlawing dissent based on feelings.
