Autophagia at Berkeley
American Thinker ^ | 14 Apr, 2024 | Clarice Feldman

When you sup with the Devil, you must bring a long spoon.

Berkeley law dean Erwin Chemerinsky has never been a favorite of mine, but I love irony, and this week he’s my avatar of people whose actions have come back to bite them. He has publicly bragged, for example, how much easier it is to avoid anti-discrimination laws in his faculty hires than it is in student admission, tacitly admitting that is what he has done and what he encourages others to do. But that seems to be of no avail to him now that he’s become a target for the Left and Jihadists acting in coalition.

One of his recent hires is Chesa Boudin, son of two terrorists Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert. Chesa, in case you forgot, is the former San Francisco district attorney whose soft on crime policies were so extreme that San Franciscans voted to recall him, a highly unusual occurrence. (Chesa attributed this to the city’s “hard turn to the right.”) Chesa was hired to head the law school’s Criminal & Justice Center. To Chemerinsky, “Chesa has substantial experience across the criminal justice system. He has thought deeply about the system and I cannot think of anyone better to create and direct this important center.”

I mean who better than a district attorney too far left and tolerant of criminals for even San Francisco to teach criminal justice?

This week, Chemerinsky and wife, Berkeley law professor Catherine Fisk, got an uncomfortable lesson in the perils of ceding space and voice to ill-educated, boorish, students.

They host dinners for new graduates in their backyard and at one, law student Malak Afaneh arrived wrapped in a keffiyeh with her own microphone and PA equipment.

sometimes the supposedly brightest are the dumbest. this is especially true on the Left who succumb to their ideology, abandoning rationality

What a faker. If she were serious, she would have showed up in a suicide vest. Win-win.

The left is not a homogeneous organization. It is instead made up of thousands (if not millions, since every member has their own views and goal) of groups and individuals. The only thing they have in common is their hatred of western culture and values (which is ironic since they all benefit from the culture and values they are attacking. In the world each of them want to create the one in power would simply jail or kill anyone that opposed them, but in western nations they are just tolerated._

Love IowHawk, he used to be a regular here. Account is still active, but he hasn’t posted since 2010. Time flies when you’re having fun!

I’ve seen posts on Twitter about how the party guest was abused by the dean & his wife. It’s THEIR property. The video is cringe.

“Houst on his own petard” is quickly becoming overused these days because it is so ubiquitous.

Lots of self hoisting by retards on petards.

The audio was even funnier - Megan Kelly played it on her show.

Chemerinsky was whining in the back ground “get out of my house, get out of my house,” and “how dare you do this in my home” - as the “guest” continued to loudly read off her list of pro-Palestinian grievances.

For an EDUCATION re COMMIE families in America and the history of Chesa’s mother and her family, I highly suggest that people read the book: FAMILY CIRCLE, by Susan Braudy!
