Madison, WI -- A University of Wisconsin Stevens Point student government leader is coming under fire for allegedly trashing a pro-life display on campus. Student senator Roderick King is said to have vandalized a display featuring crosses erected by the campus pro-life group to memorialize those babies killed in abortions.

King said it was "his duty as a paying student" to take down the pro-life display.

The pro-life students notified campus Protective Services and, when an officer arrived, most of the students stopped vandalizing the display. However, King did not stop and claimed, "The freedom of speech does not cover these signs and symbols."

Liberals are all about choice UNTIL you choose differently than them.

I guess we all knew that claimed desire for "diversity" was a big lie, eh? It's always nice to see confirmation from their leadership.

Ah yes. More tolerance from the Left on public display.

"The freedom of speech does not cover these signs and symbols."

Well there you have it, liberalism in a nutshell. Change we can believe in.

I wonder what is the duty on a non-paying student? Holding one’s breath until blue?

OMG, there are a lot of strange people in Wisconsin universities.

Why is it so hard for them to accept the fact that they have either killed or participated in the killing of another human through abortion? He should be more than removed from the student senate he should be expelled for infringing upon the pro life student’s right to freedom of speech.

The dummy blathers on about "constitutional right to an abortion..." Link to Video

Liberals are not about “choice” or “freedom” or “democracy” or an “exchange of ideals”. They are socialists. Orwell rejected them and warned of their hypocrisy long ago.

NOTHING has changed.

If I were the mother of this Roderick King he would be paying way through school & be wise to not visit home for a long time. What a disrespectful little twerp.

Student Senator King is one arrogant POS...perfect Obama supporter....check out this tool on the Video.

So when can we expect to see King arraigned on charges of property destruction? Oh right, never, because his actions were "protected free speech." From the story link:

"Jacobsen was charged with theft, criminal mischief and criminal solicitation but those charges were dropped after a court demanded that she apologize. Beforehand, she defended her actions and when the vandalism came under scrutiny, she encouraged the students not to talk to police and to get their own attorneys."

So vandalism of pro-life monuments is punishable by... an apology?! This scumbag libtard professor Jacobsen should not only have been charged wtih criminal mischief, but obstruction of justice as well for encouraging her "students" (legitimized gang) from talking to police. Apparently, if you're pro-life it's not protected free speech, but it is if you're desecrating a pro-life display.

"The freedom of speech does not cover these signs and symbols."

Uh huh. Makes you wonder how he feels about burning the flag.

"OMG, there are a lot of strange people in Wisconsin universities. "

That's right. They pay good money to get certified.

So...I guess it’s ok for us to approach folks protesting and rip apart their signs, etc. Oh man, could you imagine the riot that would ensue along with the outcry over conservatives trampling on their freedom of speech?

From the article:

"Hawkins [Kristan Hawkins, the executive director of SFLA, Students for Life of America] said SFLA is calling on pro-life advocates to contact University of Wisconsin -Stevens Point Chancellor of Student Affairs Linda Bunnell asking for Roderick King to be removed from the Student Senate. Contact Bunnell at 715-346-2123 or email her at lbunnell@uwst.edu ."

“Why is it so hard for them to accept the fact that they have either killed or participated in the killing of another human through abortion? “

You can’t argue with them about the ethics of murder or even the definition of when human life begins because for them the rights of the woman carrying a fetus always outweighs the rights of the fetus.

He sounds a tad light in the loafers to me.
