Forbid any student loan funds as well to every student there too!

These clowns want their Mad Max playground, then they can pay for it themselves!

The University apparently did not have security forced positioned and ordered police to hold back from the rioters. Conservatives were assaulted and beaten without any intervention by police to stop the violence. There needs to be greater consequences than withdrawal of Federal funds. These universities are fostering violence and preparing for insurrection against the Trump Administration. They must be stopped before they get an actual rebellion going.

I’ve tried to watch him and didn’t get very far, he’s entirely too graphic about his preferences and behavior. I don’t need to know and don’t want to know.

However, if he’s willing to put himself into personal danger to continue to speak out, that merits support and a certain level of admiration.

I just wish he’d leave the personal details out of it.

Calm down, has his AG been confirmed yet? Okay then. Also this is a job for local law enforcement. I do not want the federal government getting involved in local law enforcement this is something the police department and whoever runs that town should take care of. Unfortunately they’re cowards because they’re located in the hub of a liberal aera. Thats where most of these protesters act up.

Exactly hir them in their pocketbook. He doesn’t need to send a federal law enforcement out there which is dangerous anyway you don’t want to start doing that. But you you start withholding Federal loans and money, and these colleges will start enforcing the law when stuff like this happens. trust me. If Berkley knew they weren’t going to get any more Federal money in any way shape or form? They’d squash this sort of thing in a second.

But this IS a civil rights issue, one which the Obama Admin would’ve gone after if the shoe had been on the other foot. Trump ought to be warning police depts that if he sees failure to address violence against individuals for political reasons there is room for him to act...against THEM.

“There needs to be greater consequences than withdrawal of Federal funds.”

I hear you, but NO, there does not. The leftists there with small kids would gladly give up their kids to be thrown into active volcanoes, if it meant keeping federal funds. That’s what federal money means to them.

The left demanded more and more federal funds, and they always knew strings were possible, but they were always ‘our strings’ (as in driving out white men over rape culture crap)...now that Trump is in office, it looks like a different set of ‘strings’ may now arrive.

On twitter, it is alleged that the police were told to stand down.
