Valdosta State University (GA) Shuts Down Ahead of (Pro) Flag Protest
NBC News ^ | April 24 2015 | Elizabeth Chuck

Protests have been going on all week (after) Air Force veteran Michelle Manhart, was briefly detained during the flag-trampling protest for taking the flag and refusing to return it. Valdosta Police Chief Brian Childress told the Valdosta Daily Times that thousands of people who "just want to come down here and support the American flag" are expected to descend on Valdosta State University.

I am glad that people are pushing back but there is no reason for the University to shut down. Conservative rallies are uniformly law-abiding and well-mannered. I doubt there will even be a scrap of litter on the street after the protest. The leftist university administrators just want to portray the protesters as terrorists disrupting their left wing paradise.

Socialists do not believe in freedoms for the people who oppose them. They are too happy to use whatever means necessary to shut them down and silence them.

It appears the homosexual, America haters can’t take a little heat. They think it’s tough now, wait until they all run out to vote for 1 percenter, Hillary Slick Willie. We’re going to let their phony, baloney Guy Fawkes mask-wearing asses have it!

Uh...the “no reason” is that the America hating idiot who trampled the Flag has threatened to shoot whitey.

They found his backpack containing weapons and ammo.

Silencing the opposition is the first step in the lunatic liberal playbook. When that does not work, the next step is total destruction of the opposition. However, that would be hard in this episode because the numbers in the opposition are so vast.

How do you shut down a university?

Easy:

Free cheese, free condoms, free booze, free sex, no classes.

I always thought that universities were OPEN to teach, not to be afraid of the American flag, but then again, I was raised as a patriot, not a liberal, racist asshole.
