That's a big assumption. Writing a post that expresses a view does not mean the posters view is limited to that one statement. Sad you don't know that.

But she's a college student at a public state university, she's an equal to those who go to Ivy League's and you're racist for not acknowledging her for being better than you.

Moral issues did not begin with Christianity. Sad people have to be told that.

Of course that is true. However, What serves as the basis for your objective moral assumptions?

Please, please, please tell me it's something more sophisticated than "The Golden Rule." I'll have some quick questions if it is.

I don't know anyone who thinks that. You're so holier than thou with your little epitaphs.

It could've been worse. This snowflake could have punched out the pro-lifer, as another crazed UNC student did recently.

From the comment section:

"She wanted the government to use force of arms to censor people who hold views different from her own. She's a little totalitarian!"

That's exactly what she is, as well as those who do the same as her. They lie about Trump and attempt to stoke the fear in people about being under some totalitarian dictatorship when they are actually the totalitarians.

"I can't believe you protect them!"

Did her liberal professors forget to tell her the part about the law and that some cops, who have not been bought, will still uphold it? In fact, the majority of them will? Poor little snowflake.

Perhaps the most despicable thing about this entire phenomenon is how often the professors who propagate this nonsense will send kids out to make asses of themselves like this girl or even get arrested, again, like this girl. Yet, the vast majority of the professors will not put their own sorry derrieres on the line. Say what you will about the Howard Zinn-types of yesteryear, but at least some of them were out there risking arrest themselves for their causes. That's one of things that kills me: so many of these academics talk big games about radicalism and speaking "truth to power," yet they are the epitomes of defending the system as it relates to their own self-interests. They ain't gonna jeopardize their tenures and salaries and pensions. Heck, we can't even get most of them to say a peep in defense of the adjuncts down the hall teaching for minimum wage or the grad assistants who do most of their work for them at 1/10 the rate of compensation. Hypocrites.

This should be put in with every acceptance letter that these people get when they apply to colleges.

"Congratulations! You're accepted! By the way...."

And if she saw a pro life bumper sticker on a car she'd have no trouble keying the paint or slashing its tires.
