Anywhere that isn't Providence.
LOL!Anywhere that isn't Providence.
We have no idea what the student said. No clue. Nada.
No offense, but you really need to read the article that started this thread. There are facts and quotes from the parties involved, except the police, that explain what the student said and why the professor reported him, in their own words. It is not just wild conjecture, except for my tongue-in-cheek account of the possible dialog between the professor and the police. And, to date, the FOX account has not been refuted that I am aware of. In fact, the mainstream media has been strangely silent about the whole affair. Well, maybe it's not so strange after all. I can't imagine the brouhaha that would ensue if a student had suggested that guns be outlawed and the campus police had questioned them.We don't know WHY the professor reported the student.
I completely agree, but I read your sarcasm. It is notable that the PD has refused to comment, typical when they can't refute the allegations without digging themselves a deeper hole.Obviously this is a travesty that cannot be overlooked.

“I think a lot of people see this as a liberal professor going after a student because he likes guns. I don’t know if that’s the case,” Duquette said, adding that more would need to be known about the incident.

Opinion. A solid piece of journalism as opposed to what? What do you base this opinion on?The FOX article is a solid piece of journalism
Please enumerate these “unrefuted” [sic](this does not mean proven) facts and provide quotes from the news piece to support these facts.but, based on the unrefuted facts we have
was also an article in the college newspaper, which is quoted in the FOX article, so it is not a single source article
This is a quote from the student who was reported, hardly an unbiased observer.“I don’t think that Professor Anderson was justified in calling the CCSU police over a clearly non-threatening matter,” Wahlberg told The Recorder, the CCSU student newspaper that first reported the story. “Although the topic of discussion may have made a few individuals uncomfortable, there was no need to label me as a threat.”
Doesn't work that way. You do not argue by stating "My view is right till you prove me wrong". You, Sir or Madam, must present your case as to why you are right.So, until proven otherwise, I am convinced that a liberal college professor used a bumbling college police department to harass a college student for his political views.
In this case a student's 1st Amendment rights may have been infringed. But not all speech is protected, incitement to violence, threats etc. I am using the above as examples, not saying the student is guilty of such.Second Amendment rights, and this event raises my shackles.
Ah, I do not jump to the same conclusion as quickly as you do and therefore you are the greater patriot.Anyone who does not care as much about those rights is free to believe otherwise or remain skeptical.
You equate typing behind a keyboard as the same thing as taking action against the crimes committed against British citizens by the crown. Hitting the submit button must be at least as valiant as facing a better armed, professional force. Men died at Concord and Lexington, so strong were their convictions. The accusations leveled against the British Crown in the Declaration of independence are horrific. It is a sobering document.I will gladly become part of a "howling mass,' just like the patriots at the Boston Tea Party, Concord and Lexington, did.
A degree in journalism, a long time member of the National Press Club with over 20 years as a news journalist. What are your qualifications? Never mind, it doesn't matter, you have a right to your opinion, whatever your qualifications are.What do you base this opinion on?
So, I suppose Thomas Paine, Benjamin Franklin, Sam Adams and Thomas Jefferson were merely hiding behind a printing press? Or were they just a "howling mass?"You equate typing behind a keyboard as the same thing as taking action against the crimes committed against British citizens by the crown.

I was only responding to .22lr, who asked what my qualifications were, but neglected to include his own.Never mind, it doesn't matter, you have a right to your opinion, whatever your qualifications are.
For me, end of discussion.
I think we have beat this dead horse enough
I think we have all expressed our opinions as we said.
