Live coverage at Berkeley

[DigitalDrifter]

violence occurs on both ends of the political extreme...

the only candidate (and now president) i've ever seen actually encouraged violence is mr trump.

now he uses these extreme physical responses as propaganda to reinforce his apologists' dishonest narrative.

Whose violent again lmao

Many universities, under pressure to respond to the concerns of those who are the objects of hate, have adopted codes or policies prohibiting speech that offends any group based on race, gender, ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation.

That's the wrong response, well-meaning or not. The First Amendment to the United States Constitution protects speech no matter how offensive its content. Speech codes adopted by government-financed state colleges and universities amount to government censorship, in violation of the Constitution. And the ACLU believes that all campuses should adhere to First Amendment principles because academic freedom is a bedrock of education in a free society.


How much we value the right of free speech is put to its severest test when the speaker is someone we disagree with most. Speech that deeply offends our morality or is hostile to our way of life warrants the same constitutional protection as other speech because the right of free speech is indivisible: When one of us is denied this right, all of us are denied. Since its founding in 1920, the ACLU has fought for the free expression of all ideas, popular or unpopular. That's the constitutional mandate.


Where racist, sexist and homophobic speech is concerned, the ACLU believes that more speech -- not less -- is the best revenge. This is particularly true at universities, whose mission is to facilitate learning through open debate and study, and to enlighten. Speech codes are not the way to go on campuses, where all views are entitled to be heard, explored, supported or refuted. Besides, when hate is out in the open, people can see the problem. Then they can organize effectively to counter bad attitudes, possibly change them, and forge solidarity against the forces of intolerance.

Yeah the ACLU dingbats were the ones threatening the cops if they dared to arrest protesters.

In North Dakota, it could become legal to hit a protester with your car
In North Dakota, it could become legal to hit a protester with your car

Other states have looked at doing that as well. All's it is, is making sure the driver is not held respondible if they DID NOT INTENTIONALLY strike a protester in the rodeway.

Let me give you an example, several years ago I witnessed first hand anarchists in Eugene Oregon jumping on top of cars that were stopped in the street by their 'demonstration'.
One such car was stopped from proceeding, a woman was driving and had a child in the car. Anarchists jumped on top of her car, and were literally beating her car with chains, you could see the woman was in severe distress and was in fear. What if in a blind panic she floored the accelerator to get away. If she had, and injured or killed some of these assholes, should she have been held responsible?

Not at all.

Have the Alt-Righties started crying yet?

YOUR president longs for the good old days when those protesters would be taken out on stretchers.

Antifa and BAMN are violent leftist organizations. They need put down.

When I say put down, I mean put down. They are terrorist organizations that have no place in America.

You know what would make me happy? If you stopped posting Alex Jones' site.

C'mon man, every article comes with 50-ish ads for some kind of snake oil.

He reminds me of the traveling medicine man of the old days.

I like Paul Watson or whatever, but damn.
