    It's chickenshit to arrest someone for a particular crime and then charge them for something completely different as is the case with the Fox cameraman. Why do we as a society tolerate the qualified immunity defense? 

    Because the state has a monopoly on violence and it uses that monopoly to suppress dissent.

    There HAVE been antisemitic acts at these protests over these past few months.  Staging a pro-Palestinian protest directly outside a Jewish museum or place of worship or where Jewish students are known to be gathering is a clear statement of intent.  Acting like there is no antisemitism at all is ignorant at best, gaslighting at worst.

    BUT

    Lumping any pro-Palestinian protest into the antisemitism category and using this to justify political force is a clear abuse of power, is not what (any level-headed) Jews are wanting, and only serves to escalate the situation, empower the protesters, and actually increase the likelihood of retaliation against Jews.

    As I said yesterday, I am really tired of non-Jews using antisemitism as justification for carrying out their authoritarian fantasies. 

    You can just say Christians.

    A professor/director I know at the Schusterman Center at UT indicated that they knew the event would be happening and had no issue with it, provided (of course) that it did not get violent (which it not appear to on the side of the protestors).  But he fully expects to get a call from the Tower or System ordering them to condemn the protests and side with the Governor.  He won't go along with it since he doesn't really care for how Gov. Abbott looked the other way on Nick Fuentes' involvement with Texas politics.  Obviously tempers are running hot right now, but I won't be surprised if there's some resignations/sabbaticals over this after semester ends in a couple of weeks.   

    The aggyfication of the University of Texas continues.

    We just finding ways to fuck up the little things every single night and all too often it involves baserunning.

     

    If Pena stays on first in the 4th, we’d have had bases loaded with 1 out and who knows how that inning plays out 

    We'd leave three on?
