FTA: “I do not believe our students were involved in the vandalism and the violent behavior that occurred,” the university's police chief, Margo Bennet, told reporters. “This was a group of agitators who were masked up, throwing rocks, commercial-grade fireworks and Molotov cocktails at officers. Those were not our students. That's not our students' behavior.”
At this point I'm far more curious about the behavior of the so-called police force last night.
- vkou 10y agoWell, at similar protests at UW, where one of Milo's supporters shot an unarmed man, the police released him without charges. This should tell you exactly where the police stand, vis-a-vis fascism in America.
- monksy 10y agoWhy exactly was he not charged? The police aren't exactly there to say "oh yea you did it .. but you're free to go" They're highly incentivized to put people in jail.
- vkou 10y agoHe had a classic excuse - he felt threatened in the press of the crowd, so he fired a gun into it. Keep this one in mind if you ever get kettled. He also lied about being attacked by a white supremacist (Who the victim most certainly was not.)
- dragonwriter 10y ago> They're highly incentivized to put people in jail. Not really; they get paid the same either way. Absent a leadership focus on specific categories of crime or groups of offenders, or personal biases, police don't have a lot of incentive to put anybody in jail.
- Wildgoose 10y agoIt wasn't one of Milo's supporters, it was another (violent) protestor. [Edit] Seems I have been misinformed.
- vkou 10y agoHe was absolutely one of Milo's supporters (Regardless how much Milo is trying to distance himself from him) - his facebook page makes his love for all things Milo, Trump, and the NRA clear.
