Four military recruiters hastily fled a job fair Tuesday morning at UC Santa Cruz after a raucous crowd of student protesters blocked an entrance to the building where the Army and National Guard had set up information tables.
Members of Students Against War, who organized the counter-recruiting protest, loudly chanted "Don't come back. Don't come back" as the recruiters left the hilltop campus, escorted by several university police officers.

My apologies if this is already posted elsewhere. I searched but didn't find it.
This is an absolutely disgusting dispaly courtesy of the liberal left in this nation. We have the right to protest but not the right to possibly cause harm to the men and women who fight for our nation's freedoms.

The governor should have ordered in the local unit of the National Guard.

They pull crap like this at NYU Law, as well. Among other places.

Members of Students Against War, who organized the counter-recruiting protest, loudly chanted "Don't come back. Don't come back" Well at least this is progress. I never thought I'd see the day when students from UCSC could put together two sentences (albeit repetitious) and in English no less! Remarkable improvement. They usually only master "Pass the bong, man"

We can only hope someone would have enough cajones to enforce the law.

Boy are you right. The left just loves to be violent when they protest. Non violent? I don't think so.

unfortunately, since the school administration was not part of this, it won't qualify. they definitely DESERVE to have their funding pulled.

What a sad commentary. Shameful display of ignorance.

RUMSFELD ASKED TO DENY FUNDS TO CALIFORNIA COLLEGE
DENVER, CO. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld should withhold federal funds from a California college given the failure of the college to ensure the safe presence of military recruiters on campus, the Secretary was advised by a public interest law firm in a letter released today. According to news reports, military recruiters were forced to flee yesterday from a University of California Santa Cruz job fair because of a raucous mob. Mountain States Legal Foundation advised Rumsfeld that the colleges actions violate the Solomon Amendment, which requires that colleges permit military recruiters on campus or lose all federal funds. UC Santa Cruz received $80 million in federal funds during 2005. A unanimous Supreme Court ruled the Solomon Amendment constitutional early last month.

Has federal money now been denied to these anti American parasites? I thought the Supreme Court recently ruled this.

UC Santa Cruz is probably not a fertile recruiting ground for the military in any event. Plus who would want them? The campus is the weakest sister of the University of California system lot - academically, and in every other way. But you can grow your own in the nearby redwood forest. :)
