Students are forced to remove pro-Bush window display
02/03/05 | R. Blake

Posted on 02/02/2005 4:02:51 PM PST by themeaningoftruth

In Bristol, England, a group of university students including myself put up a window display of pictures to show our support for Bush but are met with nothing but undemocractic resistance, including:

The lack of freedom of expression in this country is shocking.

In Iraq they step over pools of blood to vote. Suck it up, be strong. And thank you for your support.

Why are "hate crimes" so selectively enforced in Europe?

Oh that's right -- Christian-are-evil, and Gay-is-Good.

You've taken the first step. When the UK's solid citizens start seeing examples (like this) of how undemocratic the left is they'll start getting riled up.

Just remember, Orwell was English after all.

Good grief. That's a small display, and people got that upset?

I just realized it was YOU who are being discriminated against in this incidence...

POWER TO YOU, brothers and sisters!

Btw, what is local law enforcement's reaction?

Amazingly so! We thought it was very discreet. Aside from the people that were abusive, literally everyone I saw walking past starred at in disbelief like we were from a different planet.

Truthfully, if you had been in a university town over here (aside from Utah and the South), the same thing would have happened.

Your right to free speech (whatever rights you have over there) are invalid in certain zones. These zones are primarily higher education, progressive churches, and state-subsidized schools. Oh, I forgot the courts.

I feel for you friend. At least you can whack any psychos that break into your flat. Sort of.

I love it. Even through all the hatred we are really putting it to the terrorists and making a big statement.

We are not a push-over.... Not a Paper Tiger

My Freedom Fighters are the Marines.

For those who object at the use of soldiers and large armies then I suggest bombs - litter the hot spots with bombs.

I haven't met a group of 10 leftists yet that I couldn't take with 1 arm tied behind my back. They are all wusses.

Wait until Janet "Sterno" Reno shows up with tanks and flame throwers.

Wow. Asking G-d to bless someone is extremely offensive. You should take that down immediately. Also, please send someone to repaint my car because it has been keyed.

I like that idea, or something to that effect.

We told the police about it but they didn't seem to take it seriously. They said unless one of us was actually assaulted there is nothing they can do. They also said it was our neighbours' right to show their disagreement with it otherwise. But by doing that they've stopped our freedom of expression. It is entirely unfair.
