Bull****. They weren't just blocking foot traffic. And the whole deal with protesters is to be loud enough to NOT be ignored. You've obviously never been trying to study when the protests are going on.
And what were they protesting? Anything that had anything at all to do with the school that others were trying to attend for an education? No of course not. About as useless on campus as a drum circle.
They didn't say how much of it the lawyers got, did they?
Of course you would, and you would likely categorize any dissent or distrust as "hatred" as well. You only prove my point.
I know cause you totally couldn't have walked around or gone to class some other route, ignoring the whole of it the entire way.
Good thing law & order don't trump freedom of speech in all cases.
And yet you disregard law and order when you see fit.
You are entirely missing the point Clownboy. People protest in San Francisco all the time for plenty of stupid reasons and often do annoying things like blocking traffic. If they are too disruptive, they get arrested. None of that is the problem.
What is utterly unacceptable is pepper spraying a harmless group of individuals sitting on the ground. Inflicting physical violence upon another person is only legal as a defensive measure, not simply because you don't like the people in question.
I guess perhaps I have a bit more mental discipline then. People exercising their rights won't get me up in arms and I'll find ways to get my stuff done even with others exercising their rights. Go to the library if you need to study.
True. You know the difference?.... I expect to be accousted, assaulted, beaten, shot, etc... if/when I step outside the law and get caught at it. I understand that potential and I accept it. If the potential response is too problematic for my tastes, I don't step outside the line.
You right to swing your fist ends at my nose. Their rights to PEACEABLE protest end when they are disrupting the education I PAY for.
They also have permits. And I guarantee you if they are asked to disperse, and don't, they get sprayed too.
Nonsense. Pepper spray is often used when folks don't comply with orders to disperse, INSTEAD OF actual physical violence.
So law and order is important only when you agree with it, then stop pretending it is a personal value. It's not. It's just something that you claim when convenient.
As I said, it really doesn't. It only does if you're trying to harp on the point.
No, what you miss is that Law and Order are actually not defined by the Laws of MAN but by a much higher power. That is what gives me the Right to ignore the Laws of Man which are contrary to Universal Right and Wrong.
You can keep repeating it, doesn't make it any more true. And it so good to hear that you disagree with Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
Passive forms of protest like sitting down are not justification for pepper spray. Protestors who are throwing rocks sure, but violently attacking harmless individuals is illegal and wrong.
Of course not. What I said is already true. Repeating truth doesn't make it truthier, just sadly that it must necessarily be repeated.
Again, it's you harping on a point that has no foundation. Calling it "truth" does not make it so. There is no right to disrupt.
There is no right to not be disrupted.
Actually, yes, there is law in every jurisdiction that protects against individuals or groups disturbing the peace. That is why such assemblies require a permit.
OK, then let's be fair about this. Please post the full video (as opposed to the "heavily edited video") so that we can decide for ourselves if this is true. Because it sure looked to me like the officer was leisurely walking down a line of students sitting on the ground and casually pepper spraying them. If I'm wrong about this and it was just some fancy video-editing, let's see your proof.
Whereas I believe hatred for LAW & ORDER have no place in ANY civilization.
UC Davis in $1M Pepper Spray Settlement - Yahoo! News
This is a follow up to one outcome of the highly publicized and discussed on this forum pepper spraying of student protestors.
It seems a reasonable settlement. Anyone know what they did to the officer?
I disagree. I also disagree with your characterization of the protesters in this incident. This was a non-permitted assembly that was loud and disruptive, interfering with the other students who are there to gain an education at great personal expense. They were asked many times to disperse, KNEW exactly what would happen if they didn't, and got sprayed. None of them suffered ANY lasting adverse effects.
