?MOGADISHU' PROFESSOR CUTS CLASS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



April 2, 2003 -- Nearly a week after Columbia University professor Nicholas De Genova called for the mass slaughter of U.S. troops, the man who wants "a million Mogadishus" fears so much for his own life he is refusing to go to class.
De Genova claimed death threats forced him to skip his 2:40 p.m. Latino History course at the university's Hamilton Hall - the first lecture he had scheduled since the March 26 anti-war "teach in" in which he referred to the 1993 "Black Hawk Down" incident in which 18 GIs were slain.

Instead of the professor, some 25 students were greeted by three graduate students, who said class was canceled and the professor was in hiding.

"Because Nick is afraid for his life, nobody knows where he is," said one, who refused to identify herself.



The woman then invited the undergrads to protest at the library.

Almost two dozen De Genova supporters gathered at 4 p.m. by a statue outside the Ivy League school's library. The protesters sat silently near an empty chair meant to symbolize the absence of the professor.

One who did not show up was Rebekah Pazmino, who attended the 2:40 p.m. class De Genova missed.

The 19-year-old sophomore said she is set to enter the Marines this summer.

She said she is angry at what her professor said.

Awww, poor bitch, Hahahaha.


Remember folks, while you do have freedom of speech and can say what you want without the government coming after you, it doesn't mean that the citizens that you piss off won't come after you.

Professor De Genova blurts out death threats and they ricochet right back.

Karma.

 

[Looney]

Only thing wrong with this is that people made threats rather acting on them first. I wouldn't shed a tear if some citizen killed him.

Great, "Latino History" professor. Can you imagine what his version of history is? Just your average university academic.

I remember my first Economics professor, not a day went by in that class where she didn't make at least one disparaging remark about President Reagan or Republicans. Every discussion involving 'discredited' economic policy of course used Reagan as the example.

I was young (19) and very impressed by her. I was not just impressed, I was enchanted by all of this new knowledge I was learning, from this very educated woman who clearly knew what she was talking about, since she was a professor and had this impressive degree and stuff. She wouldn't mislead me, would she? I mean, I'm paying to get an education, not to be indoctrinated by someone's political bias, right?

DOH! Was I ever an impressionable damned fool! lol!

The only thing wrong with threatening to murder someone is not actually murdering someone?

Goddamn you people are bloodthirsty bastards.

How is it what i said any different than what this professor said? Except i only wanted one dead, whereas the professor wanted millions of US soldiers. And I'm bloodthirsty?

You're both bloodthirsty. What he said was atrocious and he should be scorned, but that doesn't make it right for someone else to do the same. It doesn't matter the scale.

I don't understand why people don't realize that jackasses like him aren't important. They don't mean jack in the big sceme of things so why give it a second thought?

Well, it was important enough for all the media to pick it up.

And why are you giving my posts any thought? If anything, a single sentence posted by some anonymous guy on the web to a forum is even less important than the professor's statements.

You're right, I shouldn't really, but it just saddens me that people get so worked up by such an obvious nutjob/dumbass/piece of crap like the professor.

I hope he wasnt hispanic, his kind give the rest of us a bad name. With a name like De Genova though it sounds more Italian.

Anyways whatever he is, he is definately a little bitch who is too much of a coward to stand up for his fvcked up ideals, instead he goes into hiding.

I think it would be for the best if he never came out of it.

For every Nicholas De Genova who doesn't have the sense to avoid this kind of inflammatory sentiment which will provoke a fire-storm of controversy, there are 10 more radical academics who hold the exact same beliefs as Genova but have the sense to avoid this kind of inflammatory rhetoric except in their personal and professional circles of confidence.

Believe it.

Am I the only one that is disturbed by these advocates of political assasination?

I have always wondered who would kill someone because of what that person says, after reading some of the posts on this forum, I think I know.

How many anti-war protestors have died in the last few weeks during demonstrations? Why can't we have some more directed deaths rather than some random idiot getting trampled.

Not for what they said, but for who they are. Anybody that wishes the deaths of millions of his own countrymen should be treated as such. Just because you have freedom of speech doesn't mean there are no responsibility or repercussions to what you say or do. There are a lot of psychos out there.

What is especially perplexing to me is why the hell anyone who clearly harbors such seething hatred for everything their country stands for would stay in that country when they are free to move to any number of other countries which they clearly would find more to their liking; Iraq, Sudan, Rawanda, North Korea, etc.

I mean, its one thing to say, "I love my country, but it has its problems, and we need to work on those problems, but I will stand by my country because I'm an American."

Its quite another to chant at an anti-US protest, "Die you fascist American imperialists! Take your fascist imperialist Constitution and all of your fascist American institutions like your criminal military of murderers, your environment-raping corporations, and population of brainwashed idiots, and die!" then hop in your SUV and drive to your posh Bay Area home made from wood and plastic products made by American corporations, jump on the internet powered by coal-burning or nuclear power plants to spew more vitriolic hatred for America across the internet, but not before checking your stock portolio of American companies.

Why don't people like De Genova and Noam Chomsky, who clearly hate everything that America stands for, GET THE F_CK OUT!

Did you just gloss over tcsenter's post, just before yours at 3:26 AM? These nut jobs are teaching impressionable kids! Our universities are overflowing with these liberal, left wing screwballs. This one just slightly more left than the rest. And to add insult to injury, the kid's parents are PAYING to have their kid brainwashed by these morons! :disgust:

 

[iwearnosox]

Bury him up to his kneck in sand and stone him. If he can crawl out he can live.

 

[Sxotty]

Well it depends where you go to schools some schools codemn liberals everyday so don't worry.

He doesn't deserve to be killed though, but a little fear won't harm him too much really.

Yet another brave lefty takes a stand.

We need a poll on what institution of higher learning will welcome him onto the faculty now.

I'm sure the Poli Sci program at Berkeley would

Or maybe he and that professor from the Univ. of South Florida (the one who was financially supporting groups related to the 9/11 terrorists) will get together and create their own school.
