A Texas State University student who prides himself on tolerance punched, kicked, and tore up several pro-life signs while a local activist set them up in a central campus square.
Captured on video by several passersby, politics and government student Ian Ramos shouted obscenities at the unidentified pro-lifer and ran from sign to sign, knocking them over, kicking and punching them. Finally, he later told a reporter, he was calmed down by a professor and escorted to her office to avoid police.
...Ramos later defended his actions to alternative news sources such as the Daily Caller and The Tab. Asked if he would do it again, he said, “Yeah. I am unapologetic about it. I think this kind of thing — I am a tolerant person and I believe in tolerance, but I do not have to be tolerant to bigots. It was just a reaction. In the long run, we want to be having constructive dialogues to change things, but in the moment I don’t regret what I did. I think I spoke for a lot of people.”
He also said, “I’m a pretty reasonable person. I’m a pretty objective person. I do have a bigger personality than other people, I think.” Ramos admitted the goal of the pro-life display, a yearly feature on campus, was to provoke discussion. However, “I didn’t really want to have a constructive dialogue with him. I just wanted to tell him what I thought about his fundamentalist propaganda.”..

#19 “took place at Texas State University, NOT the University of Texas. These are two entirely different institutions.”
One plays football and one tries to.
The students that allowed him to do that are much, much too timid. I’m certain he would have paid a price for his actions if I were there. No way would he have been allowed to do that.
The thought occurs to me that I might stalk him, wait until I see him using his cell phone, then come up from behind him, grab his phone and smash it to the ground.
Concur - UT has been sad in recent years.
In other news, a professor with a doctorate from Johns Hopkins apparently went bat-s crazy, and said Trump should be hung, and 2 Americans should be murdered for every illegal immigrant who is deported. Ah academia !
There none so blind as those who will not see. The most deluded people are those who choose to ignore what they already know.
Since the target Ramos attacked was a pro-life display, I think we can describe him as anti-life.
“There none so blind as those who will not see. The most deluded people are those who choose to ignore what they already know.”
I must lack some talent that they have because I always get caught when I try to lie to myself.
I’ll bet the little brownshirt has never held a job in his life. Never done anything to justify his high opinion of himself. The lowliest fry cook in America has more value to society than this fascist.
Ian Ramos is not a man — he’s a liberal child throwing a tantrum
I seriously think that to become a democRAT, your are required to lie into the mirror every morning until you can tell a bald-face lie without flinching or averting eye contact with yourself.
Denial is the worst kind of lie...because it is a lie you tell yourself.
Yes, liberals are in deep denial of the truth, so much so that I doubt a lie detector could pick up the deceit. It’s Orwellian. I have friends and family that I cannot have a meaningful conversation with about anything of substance. It is like talking to petulant children and avoiding topics that set them off. You can’t reason with unreasonable. Very frustrating.
I cut out all liberals from my circle of friends completely. I don't associate with any liberals at all anymore. Avoid them like the plague.
And fortunately, all of my family is conservative, even my adult kids. But my family never was one to get into politics or religion at family get-togethers. Those discussions weren't "banned" but everybody knew that those family social events like Christmas, Thanksgiving , birthdays, etc. were not about arguing but about celebrating. It's never been an issue in our household thank goodness.
Life is good without liberals.
This can´t be allowed to continue, or it will only escalate.
The aggressors (people who assault, who make threats of bodily harm, who steal things and break stuff) have to be punished by the authorities. And the punishment should be swift, severe, and certain.
They have no fear of retribution from college authorities, because they know that they are on their side.
Had the conservative fought back, he would be expelled...............
