So since you would be so upset about being blocked from attending class you would have engaged in a brawl, where you probably would have ended up being injured, and the end result would have been expulsion? Are you following me? You most likely would have been beat up, expelled and instead of being late to class, you wouldn't be able to go to class at all any more. Think about it?
No, we would have said "Kindly step aside so we can get through"
Just like Patrick Swayze says in "RoadHouse": 'Be nice, until it's time not to be nice'.
Silly rabbit, "Black Lives Matter" isn't a racist group that goes around offending people and using racial slurs. It's an organization formed to stand up the the racism and devaluation against blacks in America. If one is offended by the righteous, it's very telling...
Do white lives matter?
What about brown lives?
How about blue lives?
Black Lives Matter may not be overtly racist (although that's highly debatable), but they sure are a pain in everyone's ass and I don't think that their tactics are winning over the people they are hoping to influence (white America). If anything, their probably creating more enemies.
I dont think the kids as OU should have been expelled, but stop trying to minimize what they did by saying they were "simply singing a song".
No one is minimizing it, but it's protected free speech. Actually physically and violently blocking students' egress onto campus isn't protected by the First Amendment. Period. Any student physically blocking another students' egress onto campus should be expelled.
the gate is made up of 3 opening, the students were blocking the main one in the middle. if the people who felt that they were obstructed from walking to class had simply walked 2 feet in either direction, they could have been on their merry way.
“I was just walking to class and was told I couldn’t pass,” said senior Janae Castellanos.
The students blocking/denying other students' egress onto campus should be expelled. Period.
There is nothing hostile about holding a sign up in a public space.
But there is something hostile about physically preventing access. Those attempting to pass have the same first amendment rights as those trying to block access.
At least have the decency to provide facts on both sides of the issue.

Once again, blocking Sather Gate denied no one egress onto campus since, a. the gate is on the inside of the campus and b. there are plenty of ways around it which is why no one is ever arrested for blocking it nor do the police break up such protests. It is pretty much ground zero for any protest on UC's campus.
This is just this weeks moments of Sather Gate protests.

Actually, it is a racist group and does go around offending people and using racial slurs. It is they who try to devalue any who do not act in concert with their actions.
Obviously you don't protest. Protesting is supposed to be inconvenient for people. That's how the message gets across.
Inconvenient and physically impeding someone's access are not the same, and I'm pretty sure you understand that.
