I sincerely hope that was sarcasm.
To preface, no, I am not in support of the students. No, it was not sarcasm. It was only an explanation of a principle of opposing an authority. If you really intend to oppose authority, then go full bore...or go home.
Same with the half-assed Oregon protesters. If they really intended to oppose the FBI, they should have gone full bore very early on and died in the effort and become martyrs. Otherwise, go home. If the ISIS freaks can die for a worthless cause, why can't honorable people die for a worthy one?
