Students protested on campus last week. It's really insane. I have class tonight and want to find out if anything else is being organized. I can't even believe that video. The only positive thing I can say is that it was nice to see the other students speaking up.
River: You're not right, Early. You're not righteous. You've got issues. Early: No. Oh, yes, I could have that. You might have me figured out, then. Good job. I'm not 100%.

Students are always protesting here. Last week, some students were protesting because they 1) had had an interim dean for "too long" and 2) the elevator didn't work in their building

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
ita, there's one that links drugs and cocktail, literally, and two that start with the word "flaming"

School's too cheap to buy them. More likely a towel full of oranges.

I don't know if you want to riot against the guys with tasers, Sean. It doesn't smack of happy endings.
Quite right, ita. The video produced a highly emotional response. Rationality returned very quickly, but there you go.
I can't even believe that video.
The part that bothers me the most is wondering if the cops' reaction (or that of the various people now defending them) would have been the same if the kid's name had been Jeff Smith and he'd been white.

What'd I say?? Buddhist monks and nuns.

I saw a story over at americablog (I'll have look up the link) that said that the UCLA campus police have it written into their regulations that they can taser anyone engaging in passive resistance protest (i.e. sitting on the floor and not moving). Disgusting.
