Discretion-less Policing
What happens when the nation’s institutions of higher learning learn nothing from history? Here is a snapshot of what happens. Happy-looking police officers beating up young women.
A woman college professor slammed to the ground head first. The police beat and manhandled a woman (Presidential Candidate, Dr. Jill Stein) and then charged with assaulting the police. To avoid being arrested, the central state media repeat state-sponsored talking points — for the most part.
The Powerful Do Not Protest (In The Streets)
You’ll never find those who wield power in the streets protesting. It is only the powerless who protest on the streets.
The powerful have the major recycling networks to speak for them. They line up on the extreme right-wing political spectrum to dance. Fox News, OAN, and News Nation are the three principal axes of hate. However, the Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that hate speech is protected under the First Amendment.
Most times, the Axis invite guests who demand the police employ destructive force to remove the students. These same personalities were squarely on the side of the violent January 6 protesters.
Slanted Reports of Some Misguided Students
Most of those students are the future leaders of America. On the center-right side of the debate are MSNBC and CNN. They are struggling hard to report a fair and balanced side of college events on college campuses nationwide. What is going on in America? There are so many happy-looking policemen beating up young women.
May 4 will mark the 54th university of the Kent State University massacre. In 1970, Ohio State National Guardsmen opened fire on college students protesting the Vietnam War. The wild military-style attack left four anti-war students dead and nine wounded.
The Spring of 1968 and 1970 proved to be a time of suppressing free speech. It was a time when the only speech allowed was that of the government and those who repeated the government’s narrative. All else be damned.
Fast forward to the Spring of 2024, when students of Columbia University took the lead in the anti-war protest. Today, the Republican party, Fox News, OAN, and most reporters of News Nation who celebrated the J6 insurrection now condemn the students.
The Republican party rebuked Representatives Cheney and Adam Kinzinger for not touting the party line. They say Cheney and Kinzinger took part in a Democrat-led effort to target regular citizens involved in valid political discussions.
Fighting A Losing Battle: Calling For Divestment
While dozens of misguided students barricaded themselves in Hamilton Hall, most remained peaceful. Students wearing deceased Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat headdresses wreaked havoc inside Hamilton Hall.
Clinton Franklin is a formally trained Computer Scientist and a writer at heart. Clinton is an avid observer of nature and a lover of people and diverse cultures. He adheres to the adage, “Think globally, but act locally.”
It is crucial to be forward-thinking but not a forward person. “Be kind to everyone you meet because each carries his heavy burden…” Plato.
Embrace the three Constants: Change, Justice, and Rightness.
The thought police are busy at work trying to suppress free speech — if allowed their march to madness — they will arrest your very thoughts.
