  1. I’ve got to say that I was fortunate, just by being older.
    Looking back, I did stupid stuff, hung out with some folks that wouldn’t make the best character references, and believed in things that now make me go: “Wow… was I really that dumb?”
    The advantage I had is that I was allowed to grow up, at my pace, and not have to face today’s “cancel/gotcha culture”. No wonder so many kids go berserk.

  3. I like it. Was anybody making excuses and blaming USA, Spain, France etc. for 9/11, Bali, Madrid 3/11, Bataclan, Mumbai, London 7/7, Beslan etc, etc?
    I mean other than the usual suspects?
    As this escalates expect more of the above and more ‘lone-wolves’ like Ft. Hood, San Bernardino, Pulse Nightclub.
    Good thing the FBI ordered over 100K ‘ knock and talks ‘ with Trump supporters the last 2 years. I feel much safer.

  5. I don’t think a 19-year-old who feels something right now and decides to put their name on something should have the rest of their lives decided in this moment. We’ve all done things that we would rather we hadn’t.” . . .

    but go ahead and get your rude bits altered at 12.
    c
    i cant relate to the woke at all.

    1. Evidently you don’t understand where the “new rules” came from.
      I understand your feelings but as these young Ivy League morons actually rigidly follow these new rules of their making, and as they are immune to other POV then …. suck it up buttercups.

      I prefer the high road but it’s suicidal with the hard left which currently dominates our culture.

  6. Not a dram of empathy, as human beings we learn life lessons via consequences for our actions and I hope the feral anti-Semites learned their lesson? It’s up to the court of public opinion to deal with the ever growing liberal/anti-Semite movement.

  7. Those who curse Israel are cursed themselves. The only question is how long it takes them to figure it out.

  8. Hmm, would you look at that – all of a sudden they don’t want doxxing “consequences” for people any more. This is the way they wanted it, only now that their chickens have come home to roost it no longer suits them? Too bad. No quarter.

    1. “Hmm, would you look at that – all of a sudden they don’t want doxxing “consequences” for people any more. This is the way they wanted it? Too bad. No quarter.”

      Totally agree….it’s long past time that they got a taste of their own medicine.

      I can remember when universities were a place of learning, not indoctrination.And when degrees from Harvard or Yale actually meant something special.

    1. How could they imagine that publicly supporting the kidnapping, rape and murder of people en masse, might make some employers a bit squeamish about hiring them and allowing them access to their offices and other employees?

      1. Right? Who could have foreseen such a thing?

        On the other hand, they’ve been supporting the Palestinians since the Munich Olympics massacre and this is the first time anyone has suggested there might be consequences.

        On the gripping hand, this is the first time a terror attack has been live-streamed by the people doing it, showing their “activities,” live and in living colour as it were, with no mainstream media editing. Lefties are notoriously stupid, it seems they didn’t notice it’s different this time.

  10. First they came for the woke and I did not speak out, because they had come for the non-woke previously.

    not Martin Niemöller

    1. I like it. It’s high time the Palestinian Nationalist movement and its supporters be forced to eat manure for a change.

      Anyone who has a “Boycott Israel” sign on their store should be boycotted themselves.

  12. One of the biggest problems in the U.S. is that there are WAY too many damned lawyers. They should close down the law schools for a decade or so.

  14. They don’t teach “irony” in Decolonizing and Deconstructing White Supremacist Eurocentric Ways of Knowing Stories and Non-oral Means of Communication (formerly known as English Literature) courses anymore.

  16. 10 years ago I would have felt sorry for them. The glee with which these fascist witch hunters have destroyed people’s lives in the last several years for having an opinion different than theirs obviously changed my perspective. Will they learn a lesson from this? I doubt it.

    Enjoy the decline.

    Behold the naivete of youths!!!! Now, consider the massive push to have student loans forgiven. Their ignorance, self-importance, and avoidance of consequences is consistent. I’ll give them that.

  18. I did some crazy stuff in school but knew if I got caught it would change my life forever.
    Just making it past admissions at Harvard shouldn’t exclude anybody from that reality.

  19. As a reminder, Harvard is a hedge fund, that happens to run a school as a side business, with 58% of it’s revenue coming from investments, and 18.5% from program services revenue…

  20. I have been saying for a while that those who chose the game chose the rules.

    If you chose a game that can see people cancelled and their careers derailed expect that when the game is played out in full, those rules will apply to you too.

    Similarly if you are HAMAS and you go out and kill innocents, you cannot expect a “no killing me” while I hide behind some innocents rule to protect you.

    And closer to home, if you want the benefits of western value driven cultural outcomes like wealth, health and prosperity – you play by those rules. If you chose a different set of rules – expect a different set of outcomes.

  21. Let’s not forget that these asshole adolescents would gladly “cancel” any one of us for driving an ICE powered vehicle with an engine which has more than 4 cylinders; and immediately thereafter fly off to Europe for a two week vacation.

  22. What’s that old expression about chickens coming and roosting? The d-bags that thought it was cool to blame Israel (IMHO, just a screen for blaming Jews) are now realizing that in the real world, there are consequences for actions. If they really believe in what they are saying, then they should have the courage of their convictions. If not, when I guess they really are hypocrites and poseurs.

  23. What do you call 1,000 law students chained together at the bottom of the ocean?
    A good start.

  24. We are there now: Canada went after a 3 star general for some silly thing he may have done in 1988.

  25. Apparently they have the right to say whatever they want, demonize whomever they want, and shut down any speech of which they do not approve – and they have done all of that.
    But an employer does not have the right to hire whomever he wants?

    A job is not your inalienable right, Snowflake. It comes because somebody else thinks you would benefit their business. They and their business have just as much right as you do to “express yourself.”
    You do it with your incessant virtuous bleating,
    They do it by hiring individuals who don’t enter on Day 1 reeking of hubris.
    Go ahead and exercise your rights.
    And then watch as others exercise theirs.
    I thought when you signed that statement that you were full of yourself – all Bold and Brave and Resistant. Until you found out it might cost you a few bucks.
    Sucks to be you.

  26. I think this is just the resurrection of the old “No Arseholes in My Company” rule.
