On Saturday, Nov. 5, A group of believers was thrown off of the Clemson University campus. It was the last stop during a ministry tour in South Carolina. My two oldest sons were along for the week.
A Permit had been granted to come onto the campus and a permit fee had been paid by the leader of the ministry team.
Even though the team had jumped through the hoops and obtained the permit, the Campus police showed up and began to push around my son, Caleb, who was filming the interaction.
One Sgt. shoved, blocked and intentionally stepped on the feet of 16 yr old Caleb. As the team was being forced to leave. Caleb was filming their departure. The Sgt. came at him from the side and grabbed his camera. He stole his film and gave the camera back.

I wonder if it has anything to do with Clemson's reputation as a party school...wouldn't want to ruin that.
Perhaps an internet camera with some sort of belt-mounted wireless adapter.
That's one thing all agree is one of the few bad things about Clemson, the campus police. A friend of mine wrote a book set there with the campus police as the villains.
How about the one that records to a hard-drive?
No film or tape to steal.
Whatever. The point is to protect the data in real time by storing it at a remote location.

I'd be surprised... it's a pretty darn Christian part of a pretty darn Christian sate... I've been on the campus numerous times.. They have had all kinds of street preachers - I will be very surprised if the campus police started beating people up for being Christian.
What was the group doing?

The way to get arrested at Clemson would be to time you arrival with a big footfall game and prevent people from walling down the sidewalk and refuse to move when asked. Ga. Tech doesn't have the football intensity that Clemsonhas and also a reputation for nice campus cops but they don't tolerate disruption of football games.
This is what is meant by "diversity"? Diversity pushed by schools and business is nothing more than a policy of extreme hate and division against anything white and/or Christian.
Diversity as practiced by schools and business is evil.
Check this out for an idea.

Right. Then you hire a lawyer to take the footage to court and get you enough money to buy 500 cameras to replace the one they took. Or one camera and a new house.
Of course, it might be a good idea for this hypothetical camera to actually have a casette tape for them to steal.

Actually I looked the date up - it was a home football game date for Clemson.
I worked my way through school working for the campus police and in general we were told to be flexible - if demonstrators were outside their permit zone or a lone street preacher didn't have a permit at all the campus police would let it slide...
But game day was different - ten times as many people, extra security concerns and all kinds of people like wealthy alumni and former players who were used to getting special treatment. We were told no one blocks the corridor.
I remember my Sergeant saying that if I made an exception to that rule it had better be for the President of Georgia Tech, the Mayor of Atlanta or the Chief of police or else I would be unemployed.
...so send them over to Bob Jones University, it is right next door to Clemson in Greenville.
They were handing out Gospel literature in their disignated area. They caused no problems.
