| Northeastern Professor Wouldn't Mind Seeing Trump Dead |
| 2018-02-08 |
| Ah, the new civility... [Boston.com] Northeastern University is distancing itself from comments made by a prominent economics professor who recently said he wouldn’t mind seeing President Trump dead. "Sometimes I want to just see him impeached other times, quite honestly ‐ I hope there are no FBI agents here ‐ I wouldn’t mind seeing him dead,’’ said Barry Bluestone, a professor of political economy, during a Jan. 31 lecture focused on the rule of law and inequality in the United States. The lecture was open and free to the public. Video from the lecture was uploaded to YouTube on Monday. In the video, Bluestone, the founding director of the Dukakis Center for Urban and Regional Policy at Northeastern, was responding to a question about a "path forward’’ for the nation when he made the comments. And that path forward includes killing political opponents. That'll go over well with the alumni, which includes me. |

| #3 Golden rule. So I guess he wouldn't care if a bunch of people felt the same way about his life. An atheist doesn't believe in inalienable rights granted by a creator so they are stuck with the Social Contract. Society respects your right to life as long as you respect other's right to the same. When you violate that contract then you forfeit society's protection of your life. What a jerk. |
