    If you think people shouldn't be allowed to criticize your sources when your sources have included literal neonazi websites in the past then what you're telling us is that you think you should be able to post literal neonazi propaganda without challenge. 

    Get fucked.  How the hell does your partisan, broken brain, make this leap?

    OK, let's unpack this for the last time.  The shooter in question in the post was alleged to be some Nazi fuck, and others were calling him a lefty.  Everyone was trying to determine the shooters’ identity and affiliation.  It was either Reddit or Texags or something but a link was posted confirming he was in fact a sympathizer.  So I posted it.  It was later verified to be accurate. 

    The confirmation was prefaced that I don’t know anything about the site nor was I advocating for this site but here it is and yes, the dude’s a dirtbag.  Full stop.

    I would imagine 90% of those involved aren’t aware of the information in this post.

    and 100% of them not on mommy/daddy's silver spoon would take scholarship monies if offered that had investments in sed "evil corporations".

    They're just dumb kids.  rant all you want, it's this escalatory shit that moves the needle - and not in their favor.

    It’s overwhelming. The vocal CR minority (majority?) posting here has a lot more in common with protestors than me or the majority of UT alums. 

    They can post all they want where they want.  It's all the tried/true CR ad hominem attacks on posters, sources, and links that turn most threads into piles of giant shit.

    Everyone should practice some good info hygiene around this, just as much as GWU protesters are admonished to wash their pits. 
     

    The anger and demonstrations are legitimate and organic but that does not mean that elements embedded within them are all organic and that all the contours of what happens are shaped by good actors.  

    People would do well to ponder who benefits from seeing Americans hit each other and who might be inciting and encouraging students to risk their futures to break into, vandalize and occupy a campus building. It’s very possible none of them give a shit about Israel, Palestine, or (what’s good for) the United States. The fact that all the people involved are online, dumb, and angry makes this easy. 

    Russian intelligence successfully mobilized two dueling protests over culture war bullshit in Texas a few years back. That is pretty much recognized as a proof of concept run. Something to think about before mashing share. Again, I am not saying the students or even organizers are tools of a foreign power but I’m also not saying students and organizers have a good handle on whom they are welcoming to take part and help out.

    This.  The anger and outreach is organic, this violent escalatory shit doesn't seem to be.  Most certainly there are bad actors embedded in these from all aspects of the political spectrum.  I'm looking at you Lisa Fithian...

    Stop being shitheads. 

    no one is checking their fucking twitter sources stop acting like your obscure fucking knowledge of who is a propagandist and is a shit poster in twitter is widely known or followed by everyone. 

    keep the discussion focused on the campus events. Stop the extra discussion, this thread cannot handle it because tempers are too high. Stop the ad hominem attacks on each other and focus commentary on the events that are unfolding.  

    YEAH!  What is this, the CR?  Behave yourselves you bunch of whiny cunts.

    have been attending for 12 years. I started here in 2012 with a bachelor's, I got my master's and now I’m getting my PhD,” said DeRoche.

    lol.  Get.  A.  Job!  You bring nothing to the table outside of esoteric and theoretical opinions.  We have a kid going to Annapolis in my son's friend group.  Not only is the curriculum as hard if not harder than most any other school, the upperclassmen smoke the shit out of you on a daily basis.

    What the gov't shouldn't do is give them more credit or attention than they are due.  Not less, either.  Want to get the Columbia students out of the building?  Go on in, arrest them, and drag them out.  If they resist with violence, have your body cams on, capture it, restrain them, arrest them, and add that to the charges.  But as to the ones who aren't really starting any shit?  Leave 'em be.  Lack of attention will destroy them.  AND, in the process, also respect the Constitution, which is kinda important.

    Nah, lock the doors and throw a dozen pissed off skunks in there

    First.  Be nice.  Ask them politely to remove the mask.

    If they refuse and call the cop a cocksucker, be nice. Cop should then ask him to leave if he won't remove the mask. But be nice. If he won't walk, the cop should walk him. But be nice. If the cop can't walk him, get one of the other cops to help, but both will be nice. 

    Be nice.  Until it's time not to be nice.

    Settle down Dalton.....;)

    I'm having a hard time believing this person is really a Columbia student. "Obligated to provide food to students who paid for a meal plan" -- seriously she will never get respectable job ever with this floating around the internet.

    Posted on the other protest thread, but applicable:  eco-warriors in Germany stormed a Porsche plant and glued their hands to the floor.  In the perfect form, the workers just ignored them, finished their shifts, went home, and turned off the lights; leaving these idiots alone in the dark, glued to the floor.  The stranded ones managed to call the police who had to bring in fire and medical teams because hands were swelling and being impacted by the glue.  The eco-warriors then tried to sue Porsche for their inhumane treatment of being ignored and left in the dark.

    Weapons grade strategery right there...

    for some reason she noted that IDF forces trained the APD

    huh?  As in active IDF military takes time to rotate across the ocean to work with Texas LEOs?  Or maybe retired military do training classes paid for and sponsored by municipalities like they do with retired SEALS, SF, etc?

    If I say you can protest in this field but you cannot wear shoes, and the field volcanic is surrounded with volcanic rock, am I infringing speech? The shoes may not directly contribute to the speech, but they sure as shit make it a lot easier to do. An umbrella and a tent do the same thing to differing degrees. As I said, no tent ever is pretty harsh rule. If a less restrictive measure exists that will serve the same end goal, then that is the measure that should be used. 

    It's hot and humid.  Who is getting in a tent vs a canopy/shade?  It's clear why the rule was implemented.  There have been tent cities all over the city and for a school trying to attract the best & brightest, it's not the best look for visiting students vs a hypothetical about shoes and rocky ground.

    No, it's just you being dense and being fine violating rights because you disagree with the speech. Precrime isn't a thing. And it shouldn't be a thing. 

    Meh, sort of.  Entrapment is a thing.  Stating you are going to so some salty shit will get knocks on your door by agencies you do not want knocking on your door
