Kinda like when they graduate from Berkeley and try to enter the job market.

Question: Should they list each violent anti-American protest separately on their resumes or group them together under "Communist Activities"?

Wait. You mean "protest"? Instead of "riot"?

"Resume"? Seriously?

That's a relic of cisgender white male domination.

LinkedIn probably has a special "antifa" section for "skills."

You know I have the utmost faith in you but I think you're incorrect in a lexicographic sense.

Webster's 1828 edition suggests that, even then, "faith" was either "trust" in something from someone authoritative, or "belief" in the religious sense.

Unless Dawkins was WAY older than I thought.

Mathew 8:26 "And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm"

KJV is, what - early 1600s

Just read that 2 student groups have filed suit against Berkeley.

Litigation: a uniquely American solution to anything.

So someone asks reddit for legal advice for a "friend" who's been "accused on social media of attacking someone at a protest..."

I guess it's only fun for them when they're the ones doing the threatening.

I brought thia over from the political thread, the content is not not pertinent to this discussion. I did find the last line interesting. The red leters and capitalization are mine.

This is what happens when other news organizations control who has access to the White House or in this case, the Senate gallery. Billy House is from Bloomberg news. Mainstream news cabals holding the keys to access is not the answer. Perhaps it's time to file an anti-trust suit as Bloomberg is Breitbart's competitor.

Decidedly ANTI-First Amendment.

Get the police on stand-by... someone's about to exercise free speech.

That would be a serious test of the Berkeley authority's.

It is a nice rhetorical flourish, which makes sense coming from Lennox, but that's about all.

Coulter tells Fox News 'there will be no speech' at UC Berkeley amid threats of violence.

I'm guessing local law enforcement's unwillingness to keep the place safe also had a part.

Ann Coulter cancels Berkeley speech over campus safety concerns | TheHill

Ann Coulter cancels Berkeley speech over campus safety concerns
Conservative author and speaker Ann Coulter has canceled a fought-over appearance she was set to make Thursday at the University of California, Berkeley.

"There will be no speech," she told The New York Times and Reuters on Wednesday.

She said the conservative groups sponsoring her remarks withdrew their support on Tuesday, citing security concerns.

"I looked over my shoulder and my allies had joined the other team," she told Reuters.

“It’s a sad day for free speech,” Coulter told the New York Times. “Everyone who should believe in free speech fought against it or ran away.”

Young America's Foundation, the group sponsoring her event, pulled out citing safety concerns.

"Berkeley made it impossible to hold a lecture due to the lack of assurances for protections from foreseeable violence from unrestrained leftist agitators," the group said in a statement, criticising the university police's "stand-down" policy and charging that "Berkeley should be ashamed for creating this hostile atmosphere."
