Protest at UW over event with Christie Blatchford gets heated

[Soberguysknowsbest]

Shut down all universities.

They're nothing more than indoctrination schools.

And as far as this tactic belonging solely to people on the left, you clearly haven't been following the efforts to prevent George Galloway from speaking in Canada, and more recently, to drown out his Toronto talk with yells and boos. That doesn't make it okay, but any suggestion it's only being done by one side is ridiculous.

At this point in the night, Christine Blatchford was still not in the city - delayed in traffic because of the fog. Out of the frame to the left, there are three protesters locked together with a bike lock. The woman at the podium is trying to explain the reasons for the protest. The mostly middle-aged supporters in the centre are yelling ("Get your own stage!" among other things) in order to prevent anyone from hearing the explanation for the protest.

How sad that these idiots seem to think only their opinions matter. A university is suppose to encourage dialogue of various types of opinion, not suppress them.

The left believes in duct tape instead of negotiations. As Pat Condell, the left calls those who disagree with them as "far-right" but it's the "left" which in reality IS far-right in beliefs and in actions.

Typical. Canada's universities have become a breeding ground for morons who foam at the mouth and spit out their tired, broken Marxist agitprop. God help us if these are the people who end up running our businesses and government.

Wow, our universities are seriously pathetic. I am sure the parents of these pathetic students are ashamed of what they have raised.
