As Students Protest For Palestine, the Ghosts of UM’s Past Rise Again

...

In Oxford on Thursday, pro-Palestine protesters chanted “Free Palestine” and “Disclose, divest, we will not stop, we will not rest” as counter protesters threw food items, water bottles, and styrofoam cups. Jaylin Smith, a graduate student at the university, was the media contact for the group calling themselves UM For Palestine.

“At a university which promotes diversity, equity and inclusivity, I’m standing for my right to free speech and getting things thrown at me, and officers are putting their hands on me to move me back,” Smith said.

“Somebody’s gotta stand up, and it’s not always gonna be our Palestinian students,” Smith continued. “It takes our white, our Black, our Brown, our Asian students to stand up for everybody. Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere.”

1. Fuck face

has plenty of time now to hang with rottenhouse. They can highlight their victim(hood) all over the U.S.

[Silent Type]

2. Good to hear, but I bet most in that fraternity are just as vile and members of young Republicans.

3. I guess getting kicked out of the school follows.This a start.

Unimaginable that he would feel so safe, expressing that vile message.

Sorry about all the typos, not sure how I missed all that, fixed now.

4. How soon before Trump invites him to Mar-A-Lago?

10. He's on a thread with hundreds of comments on Reddit. I know because I put a dozen of them in there myself.

A lot of folks are making the rottenhouse connection too. They’ve also dug up his dad’s multiple DUIs too. A good republican fsmily.

[Comfortably_Numb]

16. He's going to get the "Brock Turner the rapist" treatment. He's scrubbed his social media but is "internet famous."

A better term would be that he **^ed around and now he’s at the found out stage.No place to hide for this racist turd. His dad’s got a rap sheet, including multiple DUIs and a failure to appear. The dingleberry didn’t fall far from the ass**** in this case.

[Think. Again.]

19. Oh gee, he might have to face the consequences of his dickishness.

What a shame.

17. He FAFO

6. John Roberts Quote about the Voting Rights Act.

"Our country has changed, and while any racial discrimination in voting is too much, Congress must ensure that the legislation it passes to remedy that problem speaks to current conditions."

Chief Justice John Roberts made that statement on June 25, 2013, during the Supreme Court's ruling on the case Shelby County v. Holder.

I don't believe this country has changed as much as Roberts imagines it has.

7. The VRA of 1965 had only been around 15 years

when Roberts arrived in Washington to try to dismantle it. He clerked for William Rehnquist who as a younger man had harassed black and hispanic voters waiting in line to vote in Arizona. This is part of the reason I call the republican party White Lives Matter First.

8. Great addition for added context!

Roberts history reveals a lot.

9. JP Staples

11. Look at all of the pretty white boys laughing

over his antics. They need to be tossed out on their asses with him.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

12. There are consequences to one's actions

[erronis]

14. Let us hope these privileged white boys find out the consequences

But I'm afraid they'll just be courted to join the Federalist Society, The Brotherhood, Opus Dei, CNP, etc.

Wish those self-serving institutions such as the American Bar Association would actually start to filter out this type of scum when they apply for law licenses instead of helping to reward them.

15. Massachusetts Bay Colony had the correct answer

Stocks and pillories. These sub-human cretins should be outed.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

18. ...and all the rest of them are probably shaking in their boots... their faces are so clear in the video

grinning and laughing like fools

[Think. Again.]

20. Maybe someone should...

...find out their names and other identifying info and give the internet a chance to do it's thing.

Being so young, and in college, I assume they're worried about their future employment and the background google search that prospective employers will be doing.
