"I guess I'm not more educated.  I'm not either.  I came from Columbia."  That was all said in 3 seconds by 2 students from arguably one of the 5 best universities in North America.  Wow.  That should really help their next capital campaign.  Holy shit. 

Give 'em credit though, at least they were honest and not just loud and shitty about it all.  

The "I Do my Own Research" paradigm seems to now have officially crossed the Rubicon.  The simulation was angry that day my friends, like an dumb Ivy Leaguer trying to send back pork at a kosher deli.

C) Collin Rugg is a propagandist who clearly intends to put the protestors in the worst light. Go to his "news" website to see what he's all about.

Max Blumenthal is a known collaborator with Kremlin controlled media and his outlet is not just a bullshit clickbait farm, it’s a literal Kremlin info op.  This is by far the worst source and actor that’s been posted on any of these threads. I am, of course, completely unsurprised that this is one of your go-tos.

As I said, I am completely unsurprised that you and Chainsaw lectured the group to use different sources than the MSM and then directed us to a site and actor that is Kremlin-backed and Kremlin-controlled because you agree with them on this. Just waiting for Anastasis to round out the trifecta. 
 

I will be interested to see the response from a few other posters who are calling for better info hygiene and who are ordinarily fairly level headed. 
 

For those uninitiated, Max Blumenthal is a paid contributor to Sputnik and RT, which are Kremlin run and controlled outlets that have been sanctioned across much of Europe and been forced to register as a foreign agent here in the United States. Blumenthal’s own “Grayzone” outlet was created a month after Max visited Moscow and immediately began posting in support of Assad and the Russian government in Syria. One of its well-known contributors was Gonzalo Lira, who was imprisoned for spreading propaganda in Ukraine, where he was promoting the passport bro lifestyle and supporting LNR/DNR with English propaganda.

Blumenthal has testified on behalf of Russia at the UN. His outlet, among other things, claimed that the Russian bombing of a Mariupol maternity hospital was a psy-op carried out by the Azov Battalion.
 

There are many questionable accounts being posted on these protests, thus far there has only been one that belongs to an open, paid agent of a hostile foreign power.  That, to me, is far more interesting than who shouted what at a protest.

If he's a Russian agent, then he's blood brothers with Trump, who I presume you support.  Hell the Republicans love Russia too. Hmm...

Even if he's a Russian agent, he's right about Israel.  I only watch his videos about Israel/Palestine, not really concerned about other issues. This thread isn't about Russia or China btw.

Every issue has to be taken independently.  For example, I don't like Israel at all, but Israel is supportive of an independent Kurdistan, which I also favor. Parsing issues is wisdom.

While this is true, it’s important to pull the thread all the way. He’s not a Syrian war crimes denier because he’s a shithead or an idiot. He’s a war crimes denier because he’s paid to advance Kremlin viewpoints by the Kremlin and the assumption should be that he is always doing that.

Maybe get 'em some grief counselors to deal with their emotions?   I like it, beanbag chairs made from their riot artillery?  

Some protestor really wants to go viral?  I'm not inciting violence here, but put down the flags and the message banners and simply hold up up a posterboard that says, "Pretend we're all in 3rd grade and stand down!"  It'd be ironic given the childish nature of the protests, and you'll probably be beaten to death, but I guarantee your sign and your face will make national news and a biopic from Michael Moore.

Blumenthal launched his outlet following a 2015 trip to Moscow where Mike Flynn received 45,000 dollars to speak.

So yes, you’ve stupidly realized you’re swimming in a sewer it’s just that you like the taste of the turds.

not a good response at all. Max's views on Israel are not the same as his views on Russia. Even if he's a Russian bot, so is Trump and MTG and many of your Republicans, even so, that's irrelevant to Israel.  Present something relevant to this thread, thanks.

Probably a few more ruffians at UTD vs UT Austin I imagine.  I had soccer practice at UTD when i was a kid in mid 80's, Classic League played most of the games there and it was a windy ass patch of grass that place was built on,  3rd and 4th year only college back then.  All grown up now, protests and everything

Godwin Law yo!

He's not Hitler.  Let's talk about where Max B. (Jewish BTW) is wrong about Israel. 

Since you invoked Godwin, please consider his thoughts, as he expressed in a WAPO editorial, which is found at the link. Here’s an excerpt:

Godwin’s Law has also functioned, to quash appropriatecomparisons of today’s horrors to the 1930s and 1940s? I continue to insist that Godwin’s Law should never be read as a conversation-ender or as a prohibition on Hitler comparisons. Instead, I still hope it serves to steer conversations into more thoughtful, historically informed places.”

i agree, but just observing that a conversation ended with Hitler does not necessarily mean the conversation is demanded an end by either party.

This was supposed to be here, posted in the other thread by mistake

https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/austin-photojournalist-facing-two-misdemeanor-charges-after-ut-protest/

Quote

An Austin photojournalist who was arrested while covering a protest on the University of Texas Austin campus on April 24, is facing two misdemeanor charges– assault and interference with public duties, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Court documents previously showed he was facing a felony charge of assault on a peace officer. Additional documentation showed that warrant was canceled.

Quote

 

KXAN spoke to Sanchez, who identified himself as Carlos and said he worked with Fox 7, as he was led away in handcuffs during the April 24 protest.

“They said that I hit an officer. I didn’t hit an officer. They were pushing me. They were pushing me,” he said. “This never happened to me, you know what I mean? I was just covering things… I told them I was press.”

 

Quote

In the statement provided Wednesday, DPS said Sanchez was “seen moving towards a DPS Trooper, then lunging and striking the Trooper with his camera in the lower head and neck area.” Furthermore, the agency said video evidence showed Sanchez was not pushed, and there were not objects in front of him that “would have caused him to trip making contact with the Trooper.”

Full statement from DPS

Quote

 

This morning, 43-year-old Carlos Giraldo Sanchez, of Austin, Texas, met with Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Special Agents and was charged with two misdemeanors – assault and interference with public duties – he was then booked into the Travis County Jail. These charges stem from Sanchez’s actions during last week’s protest at the University of Texas (UT) Austin campus.

According to multiple video and witness statements, Sanchez is among a group of protestors as law enforcement officers work to disperse the group from campus. He can be seen moving towards a DPS Trooper, then lunging and striking the Trooper with his camera in the lower head and neck area. Video evidence also shows Sanchez is not pushed and it appears there are no objects that would have caused him to trip making contact with the Trooper.

The department understands a journalist’s right to cover events of the day, and we work to ensure those rights are protected while also upholding the laws of this state. While journalists should be provided access, it is never acceptable to interfere with official police duties and assaulting an officer of the law – no matter the degree – will never be tolerated. DPS will always work to ensure the safety of our officers. Both law enforcement officers and journalists should be expected to do their jobs in a professional manner – and we strongly believe a line was crossed last week when one of our Troopers was assaulted while trying to do his job.
