I'm beginning to think they don't like freedom of speech after all!

You pay $100k for the lazy river, not to have rights.

Saw that one when walking to work this morning. Thought nasty thoughts about USC's donors.

Yeah, it's pretty obvious about what's happening there. Same as in UPenn and Columbia.

People can't talk about stuff anymore.

Updates on events at Columbia increasingly resemble dispatches from a war zone, as the president goes full Sisi on faculty and students

Think it's gonna be a loud weekend. Just hope nobody gets killed this time around.

Yeah, isn't it horrible how advocating a new Endlosung der Judenfrage isn't endorsed by institutions of higher education any longer?

The DA has to refuse to prosecute anyone that was arrested at UT.

It took police an hour and 14 minutes to react to Uvadle once on scene, how long did it take them to react to peaceful protesters at a college campus after being called in?

I expect most people will be released without charges. They don't want cases, they just want to intimidate students and teachers—which, as history has shown us, really tends to work out as planned

I mean, it seems to be endorsed by numerous faculty members.

These are two totally different police departments responding to two totally different things

Or they just want to clear a space. Don't need to charge people with a crime for that. What are you, a facist?

This response doesn't land like you think it does.

If there was no crime, why waste tax payer money on such a heavy handled police response?

This didn't take long

A generation of kids taught how to secure a building against armed intruders has now been given the chance to show that they were in fact paying attention.

Funny how the people desperate to get rid of a few dozen students sitting around and chanting didn't seem to care when far more violent far right rallies went ahead with police protection.
