  1. Then you are a fucking coward if you think the right way to handle a peaceful protest is to call in the fucking stormtroopers to crack heads. I do not buy Hartzells statement for a moment because he is speaking from a place of fear, not leadership. Instead of speaking to his students and faculty, he called in RIOT COPS to fuck em up. Your reaction, and applauding what Hartzell did will only serve to ensure more crackdowns like this for unallowed speech.
  2. Ya know, if you turn off the fox and newsmax it turns out you're actually NOT under attack by immigrants and brown people. This sort of rote and unthoughtful acceptance, internalization, and repetition of the State and Party line for why they had to put down this peaceful protest is how you end up with a fucking boot on your neck. This is nothing but trump and abbotts fear and propaganda speaking through you. Do you think that everyone on campus is officially affiliated with UT? Further, do you think that you only have a right to be on campus to demonstrate if you are affiliated? There was a fucking law signed in 2019 that explicitly allows the sort of peaceful protest that you are desperate to justify the brutal crushing of. The law does state that universities can put limits - BUT THEY FUCKING DIDNT AND THEY BROKE THE FUCKING LAW. Stop defending this fascism.
  3. Oh bull fucking shit. This is the equivalent to a "furtive movements" affidavit by a cop that just gunned a person down in their own home. Are you saying that you think the correct move whenever the school administration is concerned is to call in the fucking riot cops to crack some heads? You and the rest of the scared victimhood boomers continually go back to what has happened elsewhere, as if it resembles what happened yesterday on Speedway in front of Gregory. I have fucking eyes. There is not an equivalency no matter how much you wish there is.
  4. Hartzell calling in the riot cops on his own student body because he didn't like their speech is beyond the fucking pale. He can repeat abbott's party line on his justification, but it's has nothing to do with what happened yesterday on campus. It's unsurprising and predictable that so many people on this board are uncritically believing whatever their preferred authority figure tells them, but holy fucking shit. Hartzell being confirmed by the Daily Texan (publication, not board) to have called in the jackboots
  5. No, no let the people who think "anti fascist" is an insult continue to advocate for collective punishment. They don't realize how they look, but at least they're finally saying it out loud.
  6. Abbott and bootlickers today: putting down this protest was all about fighting antisemitism!!! When there were actual fucking neonazis marching in the streets y'all were more concerned about free speech then.
  7. Something tells me you didn't give a shit about any of this group or even know about them until abbott targeted them for brutality Yes. We know you think it's hilarious when protesters are beaten up by cops.
  8. Yes all that happened that summer was "antifa riots". Just like how yesterday was yeah?
  9. I don't think there's anything that will ever change your mind that cracking protester heads is the right move. You and yours sure enjoyed it during the 2020 summer of love.
  10. Good fucking lord the false victimhood from y'all is suffocating. Other people saying speech you don't like on the six pack lawn isn't lawlessness and threats
  11. Nothing of that sort was happening on Texas's campus yesterday. The jackboots came down hard because they wanted to flex and show how tough they were and that their fascist cred is legit.
  12. Dude, there were organizers wearing yellow high-viz vests that were working with the cops before they went aggroid and started teakettling and arresting students and journalists. There was not an """occupation""" going on or imminent, no matter how much you or abbott repeat it. You and sack and incredulity and everyone else taking the governor at his word need to actually watch some of the reporting and footage from the event. It is not as you are so desperately describing.
  13. You're doing the exact same thing as incredulity and thread shitting by bringing in things that did not happen, but have been insisted DID happen by abbott and his fascist cronies to justify their crackdown. You are playing cutesy games to dishonestly hide your support for what abbott's mission and goal is. And you're polluting this thread with false notions of why the cops brutalized protesters yesterday. You are doing abbott's dirty work for him.
  14. Sack, stop framing this as if the arrests were even about face coverings. None of them have been as far as I know. You are doing your cute trick where you introduce something unrelated to derail a discussion and reframe it in terms favorable to your biases. There has been a concerted effort by abbott to punish pro-palestine speech on campus. Either through firing professors https://www.texastribune.org/2023/12/08/israel-hamas-war-texas-universities/ Advocating for punishments against students expressing the wrong opinion https://www.texastribune.org/2024/03/27/israel-hamas-war-texas-universities/ Or just, ya know, using violence and force to silence them.
  15. https://www.texastribune.org/2024/04/25/ut-austin-palestinian-arrests-criminal-cases/ 46 out of 57 cases dropped so far due to lacking probable cause for arrest.
  16. Get ready for when the music stops with TSLA. They are playing some fuck fuck games with their accounting
  17. Are you on campus today? What's the atmosphere like?
  18. Sack knows. He WANTS the university to stamp down and crack heads for people who have speech he doesn't like. Hell, on his original handle he once misquoted MLK in defense of Chris Rufo's CRT shit. He's an intellectually dishonest liar that doesn't care
  19. Sack, have you even read the thread? I linked Hartzells own statement about last year's free speech week and the UTexas page for it. It sure seems like you're coming in completely uninformed and thread shitting to defend your culture war stake
  20. Me saying that I'm a millionaire doesn't make it true either. You are overly eager to accept the framing that validates your biases. You should look for yourself what happened instead of listening to and repeating abbott's puppet
  21. No matter how much you repeat the abbott and cruz line, it does not make it true. That was not happening yesterday. Stop lying, please.
  22. You are gaslighting and presenting as fact things that did not happen. What DID happen is that DPS showed up in riot gear at 1130, let people come and peacefully protest, and then started teakettling and arresting people. I posted a timeline earlier in the thread.
  23. That political ideology put a fucking boot on the neck of our university yesterday.
