Woodside: Attack on Trump-backing student spurs campus protest

a reply to: network dude

I have a ccw, though I seldom carry when I'm in the grocery store. I'm thinking I might rethink that tactic. My little folder in my pocket goes everywhere.

I am, apparently, paranoid. Or so I've been told around here several times over the years.

The new left is quickly earning the reputation as the most violent, intolerant and anti-American movement in our history.

I think the award for the "most violent, intolerant and anti-American movement in our history" goes to the Confederate States of America.

I don't think you're paranoid. Remember the Boy Scouts: BE PREPARED.
While I didn't take to the organization very well, I did take their motto to heart.
Hope for peace, be prepared for war. Carry on.

Be prepared is right.
If you have children teach them to defend themselves. Basic self defense can save your life.

I can only hope this passes quickly. Until it does, my weapon is like my American Express. I won't leave home without it.

You must not know much about the civil war, then.

A very appropriate comparison and you only had to go back 150 years.

Lersson learned. dont speak about polotics to anyone you dont know.

BS.

Educational institutions are supposed to be places where all views and all preferences are welcomed to necessitate a debate.

Other students are not there to be your friend or teach you. No debate only works when one side actually wants one and th e disgruntled hill supporters dont want one. they want it their way or no way. Better to not speak and avoid a beat down for now.

I couldn't disagree more, the idea that the answer to this ignorant behavior is to silence a person for their beliefs? The answer is NOT to shut down and make a political choice a secret, it should be just the opposite! IF these students sat down, discussed (even if it's a heated discussion that turned into a VERBAL argument) they would have been able to at least understand better WHO knew what they were talking about, and who was clueless. They'd hear concerns and be able to understand better WHY someone is anti Trump and hopefully be able to shed some light on why they aren't, effectively helping any of those students who are brainwashed, bullied, lied to and manipulated by their own families or the media they saturate themselves in.

real liberals did not vote for hillary...stop making it look like this is a liberal issue... 8 years of get that NIG out of the white house makes conservatives look like racists..... it isnt a conservative/liberal problem its an entitled idiot problem.
