John Deering for May 04, 2024

Sad.

My college has avoided this so far.

All that schooling to teach people to be independent thinkers and then the old people demonstrate we have learn nothing from the past and keep making the same mistakes over and over again

Ahhhh, the inevitable outcome of leftist indoctrination…a police state. How enlightened!

And today in 1970, National Guardsmen shot and killed 4 students.

Isn’t that what you MAGAs want, a half century later?

Except this is nonsense. only a handful of students are involved in the riots. And those should be expelled and not allowed to be in any graduating class.

As is usually the case, don’t break the law and no need to worry about the police.

The junior jihadists brought this upon themselves, unfortunately at the expense of the law abiding students who are there to learn.

@Swamp: Do some research and you’ll find out that those causing mayhem and chaos on the campuses were proud oath keeper boyz sent there for that purpose by the orange baboon and Putain.

Just wait until the DNC if a cease-fire/termination of the invasion hasn’t been reached.

Isn’t this a bit of an exaggeration on Deering’s part?

“To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.”

‘They’re sending a message’: harsh police tactics questioned amid US campus protest crackdowns

More than 1,400 people have been arrested as police dismantle campus encampments – but are the tactics used too brutal?

“It is a level of repression of campuses in the United States that I have not seen in my lifetime,” said Annelise Orleck, a 65-year-old Dartmouth labor historian who was arrested on Wednesday as she attempted to protect her students from lines of heavily armed riot police.

For Orleck, who was teaching a US politics class on the civil rights movement hours before she became one of 90 people arrested at Dartmouth, the degree of violence that has accompanied the campus arrests has been shocking.

“They’re sending a message to American students,” she said.

When Orleck was brought to a van after her arrest, she said, she found the other people arrested alongside her included a second grade teacher, a preschool teacher and two Dartmouth student journalists, both of them with their press credentials clearly displayed. “They were just stunned,” she said.

As the New York City police department arrested 109 protesters at Columbia University on Tuesday, officers “pushed protesters to the ground and slammed them with barricades”, the Columbia Spectator reported. Body camera footage showed police using stun grenades against protesters, and videos also showed one officer throwing a protester down the stairs in front of a campus building, the student newspaper reported. A police officer fired a gun as police cleared one campus building, which the department later said was an accidental discharge.

At Emerson College in Boston, where 118 people were arrested on 25 April, student journalists with the Berkeley Beacon “saw several police officers piling on a single person’s body as well as blood on the ground”.

At Cal Poly Humboldt, police were seen swinging batons at groups of demonstrators.

Get rid of the outside agitators, kidnappers, and those who block fellow students from getting in and moving freely and we should be fine.
