Pittsburgh shuts down Warfare Robotics Facility - pt. 2

On Friday, March 2, Pittsburgh Organizing Group (POG) and supporters set out to shut down the National Robotics Engineering Center (NREC), a largely Pentagon-funded venture of Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) that has become a world leader in warfare robotics. The action succeeded beyond the organizers' expectations.

from CMU student:

Educational institutions shouldn't be creating weapons for the military. the government can hire them after they graduate, but don't get students on school property to spend time and lessons for tools of death. this also makes the school a legitimate military target now. Think about that shit.

IED disarming robots are weapons? These people are idiots. They are infringing on the right to free passage.

POG and Thomas Mertin Center are one of Pittsburgh's embarrsements. They obviously don't work and they live on the backs of hardworking people.

The robotics they delevelop there are designed to detect and disarm bombs over in Iraq. What the protesters are saying is we dont need those robotics and our soldiers should disarm the bombs themselves. But what do these protester care?? mid-30's loser still living in their college days that got them nowhere.. get a job and get out of mom's basement. YOU ARE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE WORTHLESS TO SOCIETY
