Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

What?? Peaceful protest my ass - they violently broke into the Statler Hotel past a whole ring of security and completely trashed multiple career fair tables in the middle of the crowded career fair. The company reps and the students trying to make professional connections fled the hall in fear, and the event had to be completely cancelled.
This guy (and all of the other students being kicked out) deserve every bit of what they're getting, and this kind of bullshit one-sided reporting completely justifies my ever-increasing skepticism whenever I hear people bitching about consequences at so-called "peaceful" protests.
How many people were hurt? Any injuries reported?
Many pride and fee fees were completely decimated
The best part is that when cornell sent out their email admonishing the action, the only example of violence they could cite was an officer's bodycam getting bumped. It was a non-violent act of civil disobedience.
And civil disobedience that breaks the law in multiple ways: trespassing on private property, disrupting a private event, terrorizing Cornell's guests on its own campus, and destroying those guests' private property, has consequences.
Cornell is completely within their rights to expel all of the students involved, and I strongly support their decision. Violent and aggressive acts of civil disobedience have always had consequences, and if people choose to participate, they must be ready to accept those consequences.
If this guy had stayed outside and actually peacefully protested, he'd still have a position. But he didn't, and now he's kicked the fuck out of his grad program and out of the country.
Shut the fuck up. This isn't violence and describing it in such a histrionic way makes me think you are a racist POS.
