How can that be if the school receives any state and federal tax dollars?
How can 1st Amendment rights be violated on a campus that tax dollars funds?
If it is a private institution, then that will be duly noted.
Because in a fascist state, some pigs are more equal than others.
I’ve been on the USC campus without being a student or employee there. Was I trespassing? I didn’t see any no-trespassing signs.
A shopping mall is private property. Can a shopping mall institute a “no talking” policy because it is private property?
Isn’t there a difference between private property that’s open to the public, like a shopping mall, and the private property that is my own home?
Anyone a lawyer? I’d really like to know.
I saw the video yesterday and thought the same thing. USC is a public university and is significantly funded by the state of California. It’s as public as the local library. Unless a crime was being committed I don’t see how security could shut him down.
Sloppiest “arrest” I’ve ever seen. Rent-a-cops oughtn’t carry handcuffs if they don’t know how to use ‘em. It’s a god thing Ziegler didn’t have any evil intent, because it took them forever to get the cuffs on a compliant “prisoner”. Had he wanted to harm them, there wouldn’t have been a darn thing they could have done to stop him.
Couric wasn't going to say anything to earth shattering anyway, instead this guy has tons of footage of the arrest which makes his point even stronger.
Every time the left pull this crap the door springs back hard on their nose.
I’m guessing his “papers” weren’t in order so the rent-a-gestapo arrested him.
The central mission of the University of Southern California is the development of human beings and society as a whole through the cultivation and enrichment of the human mind and spirit. From USC's site.
I guess they left out the part about it all being selective and relative...
Meanwhile, Congressman Tom Tancredo tries to give a speech at UNC, and brownshirt goons break windows and scream him off the stage.
UNC is looking into it. Maybe. Someday.
Is this what Germany was like around 1930?
Annenberg. Nuff said.
IMHO, I would simply call him a journalist instead of a film-maker. I didn’t see anything he was doing to warrant the arrest. Even if he was espousing views completely contrary to the people hosting the event, there should have been some type of professional camaraderie amongst those administering the event.
Technically, the folding table used to administrate ticket holders entering the event obstructed the public thoroughfares more than the journalist. The security also forcibly moved him onto the grass instead of the sidewalk, so they are liable if they allege he was in the wrong location.
I didn’t observe any proper notification to him of what he might have been doing wrong or what regulations were being violated, until after they handcuffed him, moved him off the sidewalk and then communicated they wanted him to leave.
I also don’t observe him resisting arrest, but instead was being as compliant in intent and action as he could, while exercising volition to ask questions.
When asked to leave, the only sound explanation given was they communicated they were asking him to leave, and he complied, even asking how they would like for the cameramen to access their parked vehicles.
I don’t observe any violation of anything here, other than when they handcuffed him, and they probably violated his rights when they physically moved him off the sidewalk.
Meanwhile, its obvious the School of Communication has no espirit de corps amongst serious journalism or with reporters, nor do they seek to foster professional conduct in the manner they chose to handle a situation which frustrates their thinking.
IMHO, the USC School of Communication discredited themselves in the eye of the public, in a fashion difficult to do, when the public really didn’t give a damn about what the hell they do anyways.
Posted here on Thursday as well. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2230701/posts?page=1
This is only the beginning. The NAZIs have a firm hold of America.
The apparatus has been so corrupted by flesh and culture, that it no longer is safe to follow what is called “the law”. It’s all for their tummies, none for the law, folkes. Keep your guns and second guess those uniforms and institutions like it were infected by AIDS and the plague itself.
