The students taking part in the protests are part of a coalition called “Oxy United for Black Liberation.” They are reportedly occupying the school’s administrative building “indefinitely,” or until their list of 14 demands are met.
Those demands include immediate removal of LAPD’s presence and immediate demilitarization of campus safety. Campus security officers say they find the students’ demands “frustrating.”

More Insanity and a Continued Break from Reality.

lol

they want the cops to go without bulletproof vest? WTF?

 

[s0me0nesmind1]

Arrest them, beat them with batons until they cooperate - and then send them a fat bill for all the laws they have violated, in addition to infringing on other people trying to work. Retards. There is no hope for them learning other than learning their lesson with a fat fine and some prison time.

They are clearly looking to make softer targets...

 

[trenchfoot]

I think even Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are shaking their heads in dismay at that one.

Kids these days. Let them go without food and Playstation for a few days. Should be fun watching them hold themselves hostage, and then have their parents pay for damages and lost wages.

They can get fucked.

As well as anyone else that has similar demands and expectations of police officers.

Sieg Heil.

A local college only allows students 3 absences per semester (appeal possible for extenuating circumstances, such as hospitalization). Their reasoning: prepare students for the real world - if the students can't handle it now, then it's the college's reputation later on when those students can't handle it for work. After 3 absences, you're booted. There's no, "but, my mommy and daddy paid my tuition." You're gone. They should implement that, then point out that just because you're protesting, doesn't mean there aren't repercussions. If you feel it's more important than your degree, fine. But others don't feel your moronic demands are worth interrupting that university's functioning. E.g., if I missed work for a week, I'd be fired. I couldn't tell my employer, "but, I was busy at a protest!"

So once they are done with the colleges are they going to do sit ins at corporate offices,
demanding the resignation of CEOs as well as pay and benefit increases,
and requiring more paid time off for the protest of the week or go on hunger strikes if they don't get their way?

 

[PokerGuy]

This is the stupidity we're breeding at universities around the country.

It's amazing to me that places where the top scientific minds learn and teach are also the places where the most stupid SJW's are being bread.

That's the funny shit. Even they realize what a joke that is outside of school. The fact that it's making its way past high school and spilling over into college is bad enough. But making its way into the professional world? I am desperately clinging to the the thought of laughing at them as they shout "No seriously, get the fuck out or we will call security to do it for you".

I doubt SJWs are turning into sandwiches

I've found that generally speaking (ie usually although certainly not always) those two groups you identify -- the SJW crowd and the scientific crowd -- have practically nothing to do with each other. People in science or engineering studies tend to be more busy with those things and less so with the activist cause of the week.

Well that's impressively disgusting.

More small government conservatives calling for the government to batter and imprison peaceful protesters? Shocking.

These "peaceful protesters" do NOT have a right to infringe on others rights to learn and make a living.

At the very least I think you can agree they meet the legal definition of trespassing at this point, which subjects them to removal by police using an appropriate level of force if needed.

The group should be more careful about its tactics as they already meet the "efforts in pursuit of political goals" leg of the classic definition of terrorism; a list of demands which includes policy changes meets this criteria by definition. Admittedly occupation like this is a very weak example of "using force against civilians," but area denial is a recognized military tactic and if they resist removal by police then they will have met the definition cleanly. Either way, this seems like a very counterproductive means of trying to achieve their stated goals.

Peaceful is asking to disarm police officers? You know, the people that are there to protect and serve so when someone or a group of people do something like shoot up a school (or concert hall), they should be disarmed without even a bullet proof vest?

Can I have what you and the rest of the liberal nut jobs are smoking?

Ding ding.

My exact point. Freedom to a peaceful protest is not invading on other people's peace (and in this case, their right to go to work). But nice try. Why don't you do something more laughable like proclaim this to be relative to MLK peaceful protesting. I need another good laugh.

Yes, asking for someone to do something without using violence is literally the dictionary definition of 'peaceful'.

So if the government decided to station police in the dorms of the protesters and thus preventing them the space to sleep, eat, etc. would that be "peaceful" so long as the cops weren't beating the shit out of the students? (ignore the 3rd Amendment issue for purposes of this discussion).

Or how about if the college administrators moved into the apartments of the protesters, claiming squatters' rights and refusing to leave? At what point does denying someone use of their property constitute something beyond "peaceful"?

 

[Atreus21]

Sooner or later universities ought to start expelling students for the time that they're wasting doing this. Imagine what it costs the university to deal with these fools.

agreed. People need to work or they get fired.

fuck interfering with people making a living. It's the best way to make me stop caring what you are protesting about.

I doubt it will get that far. These kids know the difference between college and the real world.

So long as it's nonviolent, pretty much never, as that's the definition of peaceful. By the way, just because something is peaceful doesn't mean it's right. I'm fine with the administration removing the protesters, btw.
