Yeah, she can exercise her right to free speech. I would have also exercised my right to free speech via the back of my hand on her face!

Attention WKU students...it's now officially open season on the koran.You can burn them,pee on them,flush them down the toilet (where they belong) and there'll be no repercussions.

(as if)

Since when did vandalism become free speech?

[moovova]

Would those be taxpayer funded condoms?

I would have also exercised my right to free speech via the back of my hand on her face!

That's not very PC. I would have calmly followed behind her and removed her "art". Then I would have recorded the violence that was perpetrated on you and condoned by her teacher on camera. I would have filed charges against her, her friends and the teacher for encouraging a hate crime against Christians.

Beat them at their own game. Don't emulate them. But I understand your frustration and enthusiasm.

They should have gone all Kent State on those guys.

This pisses me off!

This will cheer you up a little. It’s something someone e-mailed sci-fi writer John C. Wright concerning the matter earlier on in the month, and he put it up on his blog. It is pretty funny and awesome, especially the remarks/replies of “Officer Comedian” to the apprehended vandals.

(Nominal) Christians aren't the only ones aborting babies. Perhaps if some of the crosses in these displays were replaced with symbols of other religions -- like those "Coexist" bumper stickers -- they would be left alone. At least those with a crescent and star would probably remain unscathed by the cowardly vandals.

I’ve already sent him an e-mail explaining how I felt.

Actually, free speech is probably the best way to take care of this problem. That is, the woman was probably thrilled with a *little* publicity about her actions. How would she feel with a *lot* of publicity about her actions?

Publicity is like salting your food. A little is good, but too much can make the food inedible.

In this, the Internet could prove invaluable, especially the “extremely bad taste” part of the Internet.

In particular, I am thinking of a website where all posters are anonymous, which is actually the birthplace of the “Anonymous” group. Not an organization, really, but an ad hoc collective with the sensibilities of “the mob”.

This website is called 4chan. It reminds me of the poem by Vachel Lindsay, in which he wrote: “Then along that river-bank/A thousand miles/Tattooed cannibals danced in files.”

Well, in any event, all posters to 4chan are anonymous.

But every now and then, somebody foolishly posts their picture there, then either ill-advisedly asks a question that offends, or tries to insult this collective of heinous hyenas.

And 4chan is truly impressive in their ability to track down and mess with people who do this, with little more to go on than a photograph (and their IP number, so DO NOT use your own computer). And they are brutish beasts when they take against someone.

How exactly to offend 4chan is a good question, but there are examples to go by. And the irony of 4chan attacking someone they would probably agree with were they to know the truth, is delicious.

Yet if this is successful, this student would likely never, ever mess around with pro-life people again, and might even try to avoid using the Internet ever again. A great example for those like her.

The *best* thing that could happen to her is to be turned into a nasty Internet meme, plastered all over the place with a stupid caption.
