    And civil disobedience that breaks the law in multiple ways: trespassing on private property, disrupting a private event, terrorizing Cornell’s guests on its own campus, and destroying those guests’ private property, has consequences.

    Cornell is completely within their rights to expel all of the students involved, and I strongly support their decision. Violent and aggressive acts of civil disobedience have always had consequences, and if people choose to participate, they must be ready to accept those consequences.

    If this guy had stayed outside and actually peacefully protested, he’d still have a position. But he didn’t, and now he’s kicked the fuck out of his grad program and out of the country.

      Shut the fuck up. This isn’t violence and describing it in such a histrionic way makes me think you are a racist POS.
