Alt left domestic terrorists in New York now, attacking free speech

http://nypost.com/2017/02/02/protesters-storm-nyu-over-conservative-speakers-seminar/

I hadn't heard of that incident, Bosco. How awful! How many people were injured or killed?

So a few bad apples have a violent protest and you want to attribute that to the entire University?

To be clear, the University administration was permitting the speech to go ahead, up until it got so violent that they could not do so safely. So there was no barring of conservative speech here.

quote:

“There’s a strong idea on this campus that the slightest opposing views are completely unwelcomed,” they added. “We understand that his presence was controversial but we didn’t expect these outburst [sic] from this institution. We hope that in the future, NYU students will be more open to hearing ideas that are different from their own.”

Where do alt left students come up with that sort of mindset, on campuses literally from one coast to the other

And if you can find a post where I said the university itself barred the speech, I'll pay you a dollar. But, when the university can't seem to get it across to their leftist students that free speech doesn't include throwing fireworks or Molotov cocktails or using the police barricades to try to ram the building the speech was being held in, then the university does have fault. And for those who state that it was ALL the fault of outside agitators, it is yet to be proven that they were truly from somewhere off-campus. More likely, the more violent leftist students just want to make sure their faces can't be recognized in video and pictures of the event.

When people started tweeting at me about this incident, my first instinct was to question whether they could possibly be characterizing the situation accurately. I don't know why: Between this week's disgrace in Berkeley -- replete with atrocious public statements from various Democratic public officials -- and this mind-bending lowlight from last year's unrest at the University of Missouri, nothing should surprise any of us at this point. Scroll ahead to roughly the ten-minute mark and watch an "adult" NYU professor berate NYPD officers for not using physical violence against Trump supporter and Milo-esque 'alt-right' figure Gavin McInnes. Welcome to the insane new "normal," as End of Discussion marauders further lose all semblance of composure in the era of Trump. They don't seem to realize that their pathetic, bullying hysterics helped elevate Trump in the first place, and that their continued beclownment helps discredit his opposition. Good work all around, gang…

quote:

You are f**king a**holes!" the professor shouted at the New York Police Department (NYPD). "You're protecting the Nazis!" The NYPD had arrived on the scene to prevent violence and escort McInnes out of the building safely. But the professor seemed to think the cops' job was to shut down a speaker she didn't like—by engaging in explicit violence against him. "You should kick their ass!" the professor declared, referring to McInnes and his entourage. "You should!" Note that the professor—a dead ringer for Melissa Click, by the way—considered violence to be beneath her and her owns students. "These are kids who are trying to learn about humanity!" she said. "They're trying to learn about human rights and against racism and xenophobia, and LGBTQ rights, and you're letting these f**king neo-nazis near here! It's not up to these students to kick the ass of a neo-nazi! They don't have to raise their fist! They were taught to be peaceful! F**k you!"

So according to the professor, it's college students' job to contemplate humanity and practice tolerance, and it's the cops' job to beat up people with whom the left disagrees.

Snarks Allahpundit, "nothing says “anti-fascism” like demanding that the state physically attack your political opponents." This echoes the point I made yesterday in this post, and on TV. The so-called opponents of fascism often seem awfully enthusiastic about fascism in the name of silencing or brutalizing people with whom they disagree. I don't endorse the Milo/McInnes approach to politics or discourse, but the idea that they're "Nazis" is absurd. And even if they were modern-day Nazis, the First Amendment affords them quite a wide berth to assemble nonviolently and speak their minds -- and the job of the police is to protect that speech, not crack skulls because some dimwit left-wing professor is angry that she can't outsource the desired bloodshed to agents of the State. These people might as well be cutting checks to Trump's re-election campaign. But hey, love trumps hate, etc.

All in all, I just find it pricelessly hilarious when the radical left demonstrators call a gay, Jewish, conservative that loves black cock a "homophobic racist Nazi". Very Orwellian to be able to think like that.

its evidence of a sort of liberal hierarchy. in this case, any liberal cache he has for being gay is outrun by the affinity he has with conservatism. since they are not always on the same side, political ideology seemingly trumps sexual orientation.

in short, he's "off the reservation."

As they are trying to kill him, firebomb the building he is in, and as they assault innocent people who were curious about his harmless little act

Yeah
