  • What a wus! “I just wanna let you kno-ow” Such conviction, such bravery, such ignorance. The kid handing out the Constitution is a threat? And an official of the college mocking a student, inspecting his literature, assuming that being pro western culture means being a “white supremacist”. Scary…

    “…it holds the same system that was in power” What? Huh? So slavery wasn’t eliminated, women’s right to vote wasn’t restored, is that what he meant by “nothing worked”? “You look like a full person to me” “But your ancestors didn’t think he was.” What? So now she knows what his ancestors thought? What they experienced? What a condemnation of the “education” these two received. It wasn’t an education, it was an indoctrination.

  • If the police are able to videotape, the law must be that police videos MAY NOT be edited in any way, nor can police remove cameras or recording equipment from protesters or public.

    In the video that has gone viral it appears that an officer walks up the the women behind the orange mesh “corral”, and, without warning, draws his mace and sprays it over the crowd. Police have the right and duty to protect themselves and the public. But while the group behind the mesh look to be calling out and several have cameras -one woman is facing away from the street- you can’t see anyone acting in a way that justified this use of mace/pepper spray. The casual way the officer walks off is chilling. There were several cops holding that mesh corral, and none of them lashed out. They seem confused over what happened right in front of them as several of the protesters drop to the ground screaming.

    Cops are among the bravest men and women doing an almost impossible job, but if this video is sustained by other videos, then this officer should be removed from the force and charged appropriately. If he would do this is full view of other officers and the public, what would he be capable of when there isn’t?

    Are these protesters angels? Probably not. But the right to free speech and assembly accords them the right to protest, and all citizens have the right to just treatment by police. I may -and do- disagree with their cause, but that doesn’t deprive them of their rights.

  • What? This is brave? This is ground breaking? Interesting how brave, bold atheists are comfy “offending” Christianity or Judaism, but not Islam, or Buddhism or other faiths. Cheap shot artists.

  • LOL! Exactly – Gervase has had some two-bit roles in American movies, but he’s keeps trying to break out big into American media. Sure sign of desperation when a public figure resorts to outrage and shock. What’s worse is when we respond. Most effective response to this is a resounding “Ya-a-a-a-a-wn!”

  • You’d have to think Ricky Gervase’s opinion mattered to care. It doesn’t, and I’m amazed and amused at just how much energy atheists like Gervase spend on religion. Unfortunately, atheism seems to be the refuge of elitists trying to prove they are smarted than everyone else.

  • Sadly, this is true. There are many who, like Elijah, have not bent the kneee to Baal trying to be a faithful witness within the ELCA, but it is only a matter of time before we are driven out as well.
