Free Speech: Alabama Students Warned to Not Do Any Protests This Saturday

[Ripster42]

Something something private company, something something don't owe you a platform.

Something something, public university, something something, receives federal funds.

[Benggaul]

It seems understandable... why would a stadium want their games to be political rallies especially when it disrupts coverage and potentially disrupts the game?

It isnt like they are being denied the right to protest. They are just being told not to during games..

Bullshit.

If people booing disrupted a game there wouldn't be any sports any longer. And the Narcissist in Chief barging in for a photo op disrupts a game FAR more than a simple verbal protest in any case.

[Blur4stuff]

That wasn't too bad. Maybe now Trump can stop wasting taxpayer money looking for applause.

[Breccia]

That wasn't too bad.

It actually was.

Trump had to go to Alabama and still stack the deck.

I don't think it gets any worse. Whether or not he has the self awareness to recognize that is irrelevant.

It was bad. Some Trump supporting Nazi got violent and slashed the Trump Baby balloon.

'Baby Trump' balloon slashed and deflated after drawing protesters ahead of Alabama-LSU football game

The "Baby Trump" balloon has been slashed -- and as a result, deflated.

The popular protest symbol against President Donald Trump was floating among the throngs of college football fans in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, on Saturday when it was attacked by a man, an organizer of the protest told CNN.
At about 2:30 p.m. ET, before the kickoff between Alabama and Louisiana State, an unknown man came up to the balloon and stabbed it, according to Nic Gulas, one of the people who organized the "Baby Trump" balloon appearance at the game. The balloon deflated after the gash, Gulas said.
"It was a random dude just ran up to the balloon, stuck a knife in it, and ran off. We had police close by because of another driver earlier, so they went over and arrested him and his getaway driver," Gulas told CNN through Twitter.
Tuscaloosa Police Department officers responded to the incident and observed Hoyt Deau Hutchinson, 32, of Tuscaloosa, cut into the "Baby Trump" balloon, and then attempt to flee the area, according to a statement released by police.
Officers apprehended the suspect and took him into custody on a charge of criminal mischief first degree, the statement reads. Hutchinson was booked in Tuscaloosa County Jail where he was held on a $2,500 bond.

I mean if a leftist did this, bail woulda been like $250,000.


This has happened before:

While it's good nobody was hurt, it's a shame the balloon wasn't able to fly.

I would have loved an ever-escalating spectacle showing people's disapproval for Trump as he desperately searched around for nonexistent sympathy at professional sports games.

Denying protests is fine if the protests are ruining it for everyone, as in protestors stopping the game or holding banners to block peoples views.
However if all they're doing is sitting in their spot with a shirt, hat or appearal on? Even if they're booing... that's fine.

Tbh. There is no argument against signs for protests at a sports game. Considering supportes block each others view all the time there isn't a case against protestors specifically.

GOOD!!!

Maybe next time don't bring a giant "FUCK YOU, OTHER HALF OF THE COUNTRY!" sign.
I mean it's almost like pissing on other people's hopes and dreams because "orange man bad", would make them angry or some shit. It's shocking, I know, only white supremacists would get angry like that.

How do you feel about MAGA hats, btw?

In what universe is it half? Don’t normalize being a shitty human being.

Closer to 30% once you factor the old people that simply vote Republican because it's what they've always done. Thankfully for the country, that's a problem that sorting itself out over time.

Now I guess all that's left to deal with are the angry right winger who apparently hate peaceful protests and have taken to dealing with them with violence.

Yes, because Antifa is a right wing group.

"B-b-b-but Antifa!!1!!one!!"

Yeah ok, come back when they have a body count like Right Wingers do.
Trash cans don't count as bodies btw, even though everyone in the Administration is trash

Ah, so we must wait until Antifa starts killing people. Oh, it's coming. It's only through sheer luck that no one's brains were smeared on the sidewalk by a bikelock or a baton, for wearing a MAGA hat or some shit. And that luck won't go on for long.

Whatever floats your float, I won't entertain your fantasies of murder.

So did he get booed at the game?

Not as badly due to the crackdown, but there were some folks spelling out IMPEACH with their shirts that popped up on the jumbo cam a few times so...Kinda?

Trump's running out of safe spaces.
