#1 "A group of people, who were acting in solidarity with the Palestinian people..."

I'm getting sick of this sh*t. Every single idiot who says they're "in solidarity" with the paleos should prove it by going to live with they. I hear Gazoo is lovely this time of year. >:-(

#2 Some of the other ABQ MSM sites are finally starting to publish reports.
KRQE: Chaos broke out during a lecture at the University of New Mexico, and it is was all caught on video Thursday.

When (Un)Occupy Albuquerque protesters shouted down a speaker in an UNM lecture hall other members of the audience went after the protesters.

The video posted on the Internet showed the noisy scene that looked more like the start of a bar brawl than an educational lecture...The group UNM Israel Alliance put on the event and invited anyone to show up. (Un)Occupy Albuquerque took up the offer.

About 12 people with the group started shouting down the speaker halfway through her talk.

"We came to basically voice our opinion," said Brittany Arneson, a member of (Un)Occupy Albuquerque who was at the lecture.

Arneson was there to say she did not agree with the speaker and to show her support for Palestine.

"We were there in peace and weren't trying to be violent at all," Areneson said.

But during the loud protest some people there to listen to the speaker had enough and started grabbing and shoving protesters...Arneson said she was roughed up a bit but not injured in the chaos.

"I wasn't expecting that at all," she said. Riiight.

#3 For better or worse, (I vote worse) advocation of superstition, barbarism and genocide is still freedom of speech, and our brave, brave universities here in the US are the vanguard.

No easy answers.

Ask Paelos what they think of infidels?

#5 "We were there in peace and weren't trying to be violent at all,"

Shutting down some other person's right to free speech and peaceful assembly is stripping them of their basic civil rights. Of course in the minds of the perps, the civil rights of others are trumped by 'social justice'.

Now we'll see if they can connect the dots. If they go file criminal complaints, their names and addresses will become public record. The power of anonymity disappears.

#6 "I wasn't expecting that at all"

Based on history, she probably wasn't.

Surprise!

#7 If the agitators were to try the exact same behavior during an Obama speech, they would get to know what 'violence' really is.
