You would have been better off if you . . . just posted *oinks* to me.

My standards are not as low as yours.

He only stepped down as chairman. However, Paul Mirecki remains as a tenured professor there.

From what I read, he stepped down after all the controversy over the past few weeks, so the department could get on with its teaching/research function.

A man. He was attacked. He thought something that others did not agree with. So he was attacked. How is that acceptable?

He was not attacked by anyone except himself.

The same cannot be said for you, as you will soon see.

Ah, well the local report only said he resigned, it was in the midst of their coverage of school/college etc., closings and traffic update.

"He thought something that others did not agree with."

If I decided to start a class that talked about economics, and the effect of interest rates, then stated that it was to 'slap the 'kikes' in the face', I would expect that there would be very little sympathy for the reaction to the statement and the intent of the class.

Those are what are known as 'fighting words'. Freedom of speech extends to a certain point. While people are free to be bigots, Mirecki was definitely walking on the wrong side of that line. I don't condone the violence, but if the story he tells is true, I'm not surprised.

Couldn't be. Remember the first rule of Fight Club.

Lol
That's right, the building security detail was called up to the CEO's office by the CEO, not the guy who got beat up in the CEO's office.

“I just pulled over hoping they would pass, and then they pulled up real close behind,” he said. “They got out, and I made the mistake of getting out.”

Sounds bogus to me. If guys in an unknown pickup truck are obviously following me, my first instinct is to get out of the truck if they pull up behind. Yeah, right!

No color in the description of the large pickup truck? Hmmm, that sends up a flag.

Cops: "Can you describe the two men who hit you?"
Mirecki: "He look like a man..."

Given his resignation, it really looks like another fake liberal 'victim of fascism' has been exposed.
