Mizzou protesters vs student reporter
- Thread starter gusto79
- Start date
Actually most of the time college kids just make idiots out of themselves like these jackasses. No virtue in that.
We disagree. Take that rediculous list above. Now the replacement communications professor could go over the proper way to write a demand list that might actually be taken seriously. This is just the sort of lesson they should learn before they go to negotiate for a job.
Doesn't the reporter have a right to be there? They may not be infringing on his 1st amendment right, but they were physically trying to force him to leave. If some KKK members came and tried to force the protesters to leave, would you just say "private citizens can't restrict your freedom to assemble"?
A communications professor teaching about how to properly force a resignation! Awesome.
Clue: not a lady. She was hoping the dude would swing at her so they could have all taken him down and dismembered him like a pack of wolves.
This identifies several of the offenders. I was incorrect in my first post. The communications professor is the lady at the end.

Huh?
These people "restricted" it via assault. Not violent assault, but they touched him without his permission and forced him to move. They violated his liberties and that is illegal.
Assault is illegal. "Violating his liberties" is, well, uh, not.
The Constitution limits government, not people.
That is why I felt it important to post, because of people like you spreading misinformation and ignorance in order to spur outrage.
I didn't say their actions were appropriate, I pointed out the above, that the Constitution doesn't limit private actors. Physically forcing someone by way of assault is, obviously, against the law. Certainly a professor at a public institution should exercise better judgment. I'm just pointing out that this isn't a state vs. people fight.
I certainly hope the Asian-American student association supports the photographer by boycotting something.
And, certainly, time/place/manner restrictions have been allowed, including limiting where the press can go. I usually disagree with those restrictions, and I do so here. But, the video does start with the protesters saying, "you can't push people to get better photos" and "if you are with the media you need to be behind the line" or things such as that. Also, "blocking" him is no such violation, especially by a private person. The idiot saying he didn't have a right to take his picture is probably wrong.
Yes, people are often idiots. Ignorance is rampant, and although our rights are incredibly important, ignorantly claiming rights that do not exist leads to further idiocy. See: The Tradition.

This is great. Two days ago she was asking for media to come cover the story. Now she is trying to have reporters forcibly removed.
I'm part Irish, everybody knows the Irish can't be racist.
So the asian guy is getting the business about not photographing anybody while at the same time the jerks complaining that he's photographing them are using their cellphones to photograph him. OK. Stupid is stupid.
The white chick in the glasses and the hat steps into his "personal space" and complains that he's in her "personal space". Again, stupid is stupid.
Then they all walk forward and say that they "have the right to walk forward" to prove a point.
What a bunch of idiots.
In the mean time, there are 10 other photographers being left alone. Seems as though those white and black progressives have a problem with asian dudes. I'd complain if I were him.

They should hold one of these every few years. People need to practice fighting the system. You would think cons would be tickled to watch liberal academia feed on itself, but their love for order blinds them from what should be entertainment. Meanwhile Libs embrace the chaos as an opportunity for betterment which just blows the minds of authority seeking cons.
Typical of an academic putting their lifelong obsessions ahead of the business of educating our university students. It's natural to be somewhat "off" when you devote so much time and energy to a particular passion and people like that are often educated beyond their intellectual capacity. Melissa Click would fit that description
Wrong. Our laws are based on the principle of preserving our liberties. The reason we outlaw such things is because they violate the liberties of others. Your liberty to swing your fist around ends where my nose begins. Basic Libertarianism 101.
A rebellion by social media against established media. This should make for a good fight.
taking a whole team hostage and threatening to disrupt a football season should get you kicked off the football team
I saw a large majority of whites and Asians in that vid, not surprising for a college campus
Posted this in another thread also. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaaf...t-completely-united-in-protest-152730714.html
I know it but instead pinkel is acting like they are all united and tweeting photos out, I just lost all respect for pinkel who has obviously lost control of this team now and I bet a bunch of guys walk off the team and I bet this year they lose more games and next year shall be a disaster
Liberals= fight the system, but also have the government control all aspects of life.
see, the black lives matter thing IS THE SYTEM and is the government, so fighting against this crap is what everyone should be doing
Uh, what? You posted all of that to show that assault is a crime? You said they were violating his freedom of the press. That is the ignorance that needed corrected.
The motivation for the assault was to prevent him from exercising his freedom to report on the incident. And the crowd removing him from the area was doing so at the direction of a state employee.
I would bet a lawyer could write a pretty good civil rights lawsuit against the university and the faculty members who were apparently leading this protest.
all this protesting makes me want to watch PCU
I swear this whole thing got me thinking of PCU as well. That movie was WAAAAY ahead of it's time. It should now be required viewing for all college freshmen.
My lifetime (66 years to date) has been this.......between race and religion I have witnessed a lot of arguments and lots more intolerance.
