Not sure who said it, but it comes to mind every time I see something like this.

Mr. Lou Zerr.
Please pick up the courtesy phone.

Use the Taser man! I felt the whole Kumba-Ya thing there. Take some mugs shots of these students so I do not have to look at their resume when they look for a job.

No, they probably drink tap water.

I noticed quite a few corporate references among the socialist’s.

Interesting they take part of their 10 minutes of “consensus negotiation” to count their personal property.

Hypocrites? Nah…

scripture(?)…check

skateboards…check

ipods…check

kafia’s…check

f-bombs…check

consensus…check

dreadlocks…check

No corporate water!….check

That was better than ‘Survivor man’

“Consensus! We need consensus! Collective consensus! Negotiations by consensus! Consensus by consensus!”

That was a hilarious video.

The cops should’ve just maced everyone in that room. But… that’s probably why mother says I’m not an officer of the law.

………….AWESOME.

GASP.

Anyone have a cigarette? Or a TASER perhaps?

Oh yeah

Good God, this makes me ashamed to be recently-graduated. Here’s an example of COMPLETELY and yet LAMELY out of control. So, we have the cameraman trying to maintain order, but failing miserably because 1) he’s a completely nambly pambly little doofus and 2) he seems to not know the definition of “democratic process”. Then we have “The Only Words In My Vocabulary are ‘F**K’ and ‘RAT’!!!” guy, “HE TOUCHED MY F**KING SHOULDER YOU F**KING BA***RD” girl, and various other sheepish individuals who probably had “REMEMBER REMEMBER THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBER” as their Facebook status on election day–but didn’t know what it meant.

I love it. I wish I were the NYU dean…it would be so much fun to be the big, fat, racist, fascist, Israel-loving, people-treading-on, CORPORATE BOTTLED WATER DRINKING dreamcrusher that got to expel these “activists”

Can you tell I just watched “24″????

I wish the police had tased those idiots. Seriously….scholarships for Palestinian students? That’s why they caused this big mess? What a bunch of idiots.

has anyone gone outside to see if they can see the Comet that is supposed to be visible this evening near the constellation leo and left of the constellation Orion? It is supposed to be one of the most bizarre comets they have seen, it orbits the sun reverse of the planets and it seems to have not visited the inner solar system before. In addition with a low power telescope you will be able to see the comet moving since it is moving across the sky at a rapid rate. I think the name is the Comet Lulin, anyway it is greenish blob with a curling tail. Check it out one night only.

…is because the *right* people haven’t tried it.

And there we saw the demise of the latest group to try it. Poor, poor, deluded dingbats.

Too much (bad) philosophy, too little (good) anthropology, and definitely not enough work.

Kudos to the law-enforcement and disciplinary personnel who showed such restraint humoring these puerile brats and not just slapping the cuffs on and hauling them away.

Nothing like seeing the “fighters for social justice” argue among themselves over why these morons “have set back the cause”.

I wish the quote in the title was mine, it is from this article: http://nyulocal.com/on-campus/2009/02/23/of-secret-meetings-and-meager-eating-my-final-thoughts-on-the-kimmel-occupation/

Another good quote:

Let’s go back to the final sentence of TBNYU’s non-violence statement: “In our quest to construct an ideal university, we seek a university founded upon mutual respect, democracy and accountability, and we espouse methods consistent with that quest.”

You wanted mutual respect (equal treatment), democracy (judicial hearings), and accountability (responsibility for your actions). You’re getting it.

but then again, they didn’t bring any Black protesters….

major oversight….they’ll do better next time!

Oh dear.

We at least sang funny songs. And only for 20 seconds. Then we left and drank vodka and played Trivial Pursuit for hours.

Here’s the thing. I like protests. I think they’re pretty American. I think they’re patriotic.

But these protests are the results of these progressive coalitions that have SO MANY goals that they end up demanding things so far outside the scope of any of the participants experience that it becomes totally ridiculous. A Monty Python sketch. You have to have some grounding in an issue and in the people you’re advocating for to carry this off.

See RedState’s favorite (<–sarcasm) Saul Alinsky for a list of ways in which this and other protests have gone horribly wrong.

And then they playact like they’re in a different time and place and world, wherein the “consensus” model achieves something in asymmetric policymaking. Their playing by Star Trek rules in a Star Wars universe, or something.

And then they start saying ridiculous things. Scripted things. Things they’ve heard. They’re acting in a movie about themselves and now cameras have become cheap enough to make the simulation of a biopic all the more real.

I know, from experience, that these students are likely some of the smartest and most creative in their class. But they’ve learned all these phrases and tactics and stereotypes that mold their actions into idiotic actions. Doomed.

Oh dear.

I was really looking forward to the schadenfreude that would ensue from watching security knock a few libtard heads together. I felt a sinking feeling watching the time tick away knowing that there just wasn’t enough time left to include the best part.

As an undergraduate student at NYU and a longtime RedState reader, I can say that there is an extremely positive yet unintended outcome from having a student body constantly pestered by this kind of vacuous liberal shenanigans: NYU has one of the most well-organized and influential College Republicans clubs in the nation.

I anticipate (and pray) that the level of passion that has motivated the grassroots conservative movement at our school will gain momentum on a national scale given a few more months of the Obamateur administration.

On a funny note, half the students likely to be expelled are involved with the UAW, which used to represent the graduate students at NYU until its contract expired a few years ago (and they all went on strike). It indeed is a small world, afterall.

Despite their hopes, these protesters were met as an occupying force against an innocent cafeteria. The protesters thought they would be greeted as liberators once they overtook the cafeteria, but alas, they met only freshmen sipping campus lattes and angry lunch ladies, armed with simple plastic spatulas – not the weapons of mass production they initially thought they’d find. Their occupation was not “mission accomplished”; it was a botched attempt at instilling neosocialistic ideals in a land where there was no appetite for freedom from the NYU gestapo. The cafeteria only wanted to be left to make green tea, meatloaf, and on Fridays, square pizzas with tator tots!

The protesters couldn’t understand why their freedom wasn’t greeted with shouts of cheer and glee in Greenwich. Maybe, they over thought their strategy? Maybe, they should’ve come in with more ground troops. Maybe, they should’ve had a surge strategy – maybe, something like backup forces from Berkley, Yale and Harvard? Instead, in the end of a sad, but failed attempt to liberate the corporate cafeteria, they were vanquished with little else left but to continue denying reality with their leader trying to build “consensus” while his force succumbed to rants of “F you” and “take your hands off of me!”

Tragic.
