“This incident is another warning that shout-downs are threatening to morph into generalized warfare.”
“How long before student groups, nose-to-nose in confrontation, resort to violence?”
“We saw some violence at Middlebury.”
“But if nothing is done to stop these shout-downs, Allison Stangers concussion and neck-brace will have been only the beginning.”
This sounds like a TORT.
They need to be made whole.
George W. Bush — leading the shouting.
This is amazing stuff. Leftist are trying to make college campuses no-go zones for free individuals.
Immediate and Permanent Expulsion is the ONLY way to stop the childish behavior.
If this happens to you calmly explain to the police that you think the protestors must be on some sort of dangerous drug—and you have no idea what they are screaming about.. :-)
The college is violating the guest speakers civil rights and can be sued under the RICO act.
Santa Cruz is one of the nastiest places in California.
Train down the middle of mainstreet by the beach is super cool. Nice pier out over the water. Stopped there once and it was a place you wish was nice. But I have never seen so many bums and stoners take over the streets at night.
Imagine if you will Campus Republicans shouting down a leftist group. Would the leftists be asked to leave? Would the library staffers wait two hour to call the police?
Of course this is moot. If College Republicans attempted to shout down a group of leftists, the leftists would immediately attack the Republicans physically, and the news media would report it as Republicans attacking peaceful people.
Welcome to Obama's America.
Being a College Republican on that campus is lonely business. Kudos to them.
