Mizzou protesters vs student reporter
- Thread starter gusto79
- Start date
The lady at the end that is telling the guy recording he needs to get out and yells for "some muscle" to help kick the reporter out is a professor of communication.
Missouri being Missouri. Columbia evidently care for Ferguson being the biggest embarrassment so they stepped up their game. Seriously, if you are a student protester in Columbia kill yourself now. Please and thank you
The white lady in the front is a communications professor. She has been identified and people are emailing her about her actions. She should understand the rights of free speech.
She should be fired what a poor example of someone who professes to champion higher education.
The goose steppers win again!
And Bernie Sanders wants college to be free.
These assclowns should understand that you want to protest,be prepared for the blowback.
Dude was just taking pictures. What the hell were they trying to hide? You'd think they'd want their protest to be recorded for history and release on the world wide web.
I don't disagree.It's everyone's right to get on up in front of every camera and viral video now days.Just don't expect kid gloves when crap get's real,as it always does.
I think,Useful Idiots is the term.
Sounds like the students are getting an education. What was it like to go to school during the anti war years? Any old timers got some protest stories to tell?
Hey what fun. Maybe next time someone gets hurt or more careers get ruined! Since it's all in the name of education and all, no harm no foul.
Maybe, one would hope they would be learning how to peacefully demonstrate. Life has no guarantees when you step into the arena.
I'm sure they'll continue to be coddled even if it goes off the rails. Great prep for a successful life!
We agree. Much better than the keep your head down and mouth shut course list.
I like the "Have some respect for other people 101" course work. "Self awareness in the age of social media" is also a good one.
But don't be so hard on the "keep your head down and mouth shut" course work, it saves people a lot of embarrassment when they later realize they're wrong.
Hardly, it just lets them hide. Best to get people on the record and involved. Spectaculars never score points.
If it's my son or daughter they definitely would get the "keep your head down and mouth shut" advice from me if they were students there.
Why? Seems like abdicating your duty to raise responsible citizens. It seems to me, even if you don't agree with this cause, you have to respect peaceful protest as a way for the people to move the needle in a free society. Apathy isn't a virtue.
Because nobody likes a loudmouth and since they're 18-22 years old they likely don't know what they're talking about.
Here is the list of demands that the student group "Concerned Student 1950" put forth. I must admit I quit reading once I read that the president must acknowledge his white male privilege.
I. We demand that the University of Missouri System President, Tim Wolfe, writes a handwritten apology to the Concerned Student 1-9-5-0 demonstrators and holds a press conference in the Mizzou Student Center reading the letter. In the letter and at the press conference, Tim Wolfe must acknowledge his white male privilege, recognize that systems of oppression exist, and provide a verbal commitment to fulfilling Concerned Student 1-9-5-0 demands. We want Tim Wolfe to admit to his gross negligence, allowing his driver to hit one of the demonstrators, consenting to the physical violence of bystanders, and lastly refusing to intervene when Columbia Police Department used excessive force with demonstrators.
II. We demand the immediate removal of Tim Wolfe as UM system president. After his removal a new amendment to UM system policies must be established to have all future UM system president and Chancellor positions be selected by a collective of students, staff, and faculty of diverse backgrounds.
III. We demand that the University of Missouri meets the Legion of Black Collegians' demands that were presented in 1969 for the betterment of the black community.
IV. We demand that the University of Missouri creates and enforces comprehensive racial awareness and inclusion curriculum throughout all campus departments and units, mandatory for all students, faculty, staff, and administration. This curriculum must be vetted, maintained, and overseen by a board comprised of students, staff, and faculty of color.
V. We demand that by the academic year 2017-2018, the University of Missouri increases the percentage of black faculty and staff campus-wide to 10%.
VI. We demand that the University of Missouri composes a strategic 10 year plan by May 1, 2016 that will increase retention rates for marginalized students, sustain diversity curriculum and training, and promote a more safe and inclusive campus.
VII. We demand that the University of Missouri increases funding and resources for the University of Missouri Counseling Center for the purpose of hiring additional mental health professionals — particularly those of color, boosting mental health outreach and programming across campus, increasing campus-wide awareness and visibility of the counseling center, and reducing lengthy wait times for prospective clients.
VIII. We demand that the University of Missouri increases funding, resources, and personnel for the social justices centers on campus for the purpose of hiring additional professionals, particularly those of color, boosting outreach and programming across campus, and increasing campus-wide awareness and visibility.

The world is run by loudmouths and one really great part of college is learning to find your voice.
He's going to acknowledge his white privilege by taking a golden parachute and landing a nice job somewhere else.
It's awesome to be a white male in America.
It's awesome to be a white male in America.
I feel like maybe something should be clarified: Private people can't restrict your freedom of speech nor your freedom of the press.
Carry on.
Carry on.
Number 1 and 2 are hilarious. I am visualizing the president reading number 1 and thinking, ugh this is going to suck, but I am going to do what I got to do and then reading number 2 and being like okay screw number 1.
