    That one might be fake. No news outlets are covering it and it looks like the first responders have Hebrew lettering on their shirts. Old video repurposed?

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          Remember when Viet Nam ended? And so did the protests.

          So instead of protesting, college students started streaking.

          I remember there was a giant streak organized. A few hundred streakers running across the quad, on a sunny Spring afternoon. I think it lasted a couple hours, I watched for a while.

            Lawyer comments:

            "If DOJ/DHS/TSA can track every person who attended J6 protest, label them as terrorists, and continue to hamper their rights to free travel, then they can ID every person participating in support for a foreign terrorist organization -- which is a crime -- and make sure they receive no financial aid and have no student loans forgiven.

            Maybe THAT is a job I might apply for."

              Yeah, but those J6 guys were dangerous.

                  Something that very quietly has been happening...We're experiencing a lot of out-of-state students in the SEC, particularly schools like Tennessee, Alabama and Florida. Same goes for Clemson and Florida State.

                  I'd read or heard recently that half of the student body at Alabama, was not from Alabama.

                  Why the shift? Less woke? Cheaper tuition? Education quality?

                      Just yesterday we were chatting with a young staffer in an NC rep’s office. She’s from Charlotte are but went to school at Ole Miss. FEMA guy mentions just what you did, that SEC schools are attracting more and more out of staters.

                      She said a number of kids from her high school went to Ole Miss and added ‘UNC is just too hard to get into’

                        I knew a lot of kids from my daughter's high school that went to Alabama, and that was 13 years ago.

                          I went on a tour of UMASS Lowell yesterday with No. 1 Son - I was slightly nervous that there'd be protesting. Barring a small number of very polite Cambodians who were quietly protesting something about employment, there was no hint of a protest, and no tension whatsoever.

                          It's odd that some colleges are virtually in flames, and some seem to be carrying on completely as normal.

                          I was only joking

                                When I was at Purdue in the late 80s I had a professor who had been a student there in the 60s.

                                He said the joke at the time was that Purdue was a “hotbed of student rest”.

                                    We had a fair amount of unrest when I was at Manchester in the 80's. It was right in the middle of the miner's strike, and feelings were running pretty high, particularly in the north of England. Leon Brittan, the Home Secretary, showed up to speak and there was a big protest with about 500 people, with a load of arrests. I think he got eggs thrown at him.

                                    I seem to remember one of our physics lecturers encouraged us to attend the protest, but honestly I couldn't be bothered. Story of my life.
