Dr. Hilty (and I use the term lightly), another function of the institutions of higher learning is to develop intelligence in the students, to teach them how to use their brains for something other than drug use. The entire Chief issue is being pushed by a FEW people who are overly sensitive to some guy running around a sporting event. Is protesting this the only thing our Universities can teach? How about teaching our students to protest the growing poverty in this country? How about teaching the students how to care for the elderly? How about teaching the students where to put their money because there won't be any Social Security left when they retire? These people locked themselves in a building that they had no right to be in. Their objective was to eliminate some guy's ability to make a fool out of himself.
Since when is arresting people for trespassing using 'brute force'? These people should have been arrested. I would say the same thing if the Pro-Cheif crowd would have locked themselves in the Swanlund building.
If someone were to lock themselves in your home how would you want the police to handle it? Negotiate with them for 3 days while they go through your personal items? Or would you rather the police enter your home and arrest the trespassers so you could return to your home as soon as possible? |
