I wonder how many will get visits from the FBI like the Jan 6th protestors.......and get thrown in jail, denied access to medical care, bail, and lawyers.
Just kidding. I know how many.
ZERO.
The FBI is POS org.

If it were a conservative stating this, insurrection and arrested by FBI. But since it is liberal, "free speech".AggieMD95 said:damiond said:At a far-left rally for Gaza at George Washington U @GWtweets, an extremist on the microphone says: “There’s only one solution, intifada revolution.

I'm not a lawyer. Is that protected speech under the first amendment or is it equivalent to incitement of violence or of a riot ?

WOW! That's a lot of students being taken out of their enrollment pool. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot financially. Of course they have big endowments and won't be hurting for money anytime soon but that will cause a problem.Clavell said:

Yep, in order to have a free society and functioning representative government you first have to have only citizens who are in broad general agreement about that. So that voting and freedom of expression and so on is done within a reasonable range of similarity. So you end up with a marketplace of ideas that compete to basically achieve the best beneficial result for the group.YouBet said:Joes said:I'm as much of a free speech guy as there is but there's no question that sometimes we try to be so principled as to be suicidal. The people generally using their freedom of speech in the most extreme ways are not in favor of free speech at all, they're using our values against us. They would use their free speech to end free speech.Tramp96 said:
Is there another country in the history of the world that would allow people to openly call for violent revolution and not do anything to stop it?
I mean...this is real treason and the powers-that-be are just sitting back and doing nothing about it, while bringing trumped up (pun intended) "insurrection" charges against people didn't commit an insurrection and did not advocate for treasonous actions.
At some point you have to be in survival mode when it becomes that contradictory. For example, let's say you have five people in a group and you do everything by voting. Then 3 of the 5 vote to end voting and select a dictator. Are the two others supposed to say "Well, we've voted to end voting so I'll just have to go along with it"?
Saying "I believe so much in free speech that people should be able to use their free speech to call for the end of the country that allows free speech" seems really dumb.
I'm sure there is a term for this but if there is not we can call it the Democracy Paradox. At some point, infiltrators (Marxists) simply use the system against you to vote you out of freedom and into oppression. At that point, it's time to clean house and start over. We are approaching the end of this experiment, clearly.
The first step is to ban all immigrants from the Middle East. No exceptions.
The second step is to shut down the border.
The third step is to set up some rallies for Hamas and Palestine. Arrest everyone that shows up in support and deport all of them via helicopter.
The first and second steps are 100% doable but Democrats are actually setting up immigration centers in the ME now to bring even more terrorists over here and they are open borders so what needs to be done will never happen.
Seems like someone might want to file a civil suit against the University, administrators, and the outside agitators all the way back to Soros and such. Fostering a hostile environment on campus, emotional distress, promoting racism, devaluing their degree, etc? All for political gain.aggiehawg said:WOW!

Even though I'm rarely the conspiratorial type I think it's pretty obvious it was done intentionally mostly starting in the 60s and they have just raised more of their own since then. They didn't just end up that way, they were installed by the pro-soviet groups back then for the best long-term results. I don't think the puppet masters are ultimately Islamist so much as they are just general chaos agents.Bryanisbest said:
Why are academics so leftist? Why are professors at the root of these anti American/Israeli campus protests? What is it about academia that loves Marxism? What is it about Marxism that hates Jews? I don't get this. Why are the Dems contradicting themselves on racism?
It's been on campus for decades and spread to high schools in the 2000s. It's grown faster as the population has become dumber due to liberal control of education. It's all going according to plan.Bryanisbest said:

Must've miss it.
My thoughts as well. Maybe hawg and the other lawyers can weigh in. Seems absolutely primed for students, not just Jewish but any that have simply had their education turned on its head and their personal well being compromised, would have a hell of a lawsuit. Sue the university and any that are supporting this for everything from damages to interrupted education to PTSD.
