California sisters fighting back after professor steals graphic pro-life sign

Two California sisters told Fox News’ Megyn Kelly Thursday they are fighting back against a college professor who they say assaulted them and stole their pro-life signs because “no one has the right to take someone else’s property.”

Thrin Short, 16, and her sister Joan, 21, were part of an anti-abortion protest at the University of California, Santa Barbara when they were approached by Associate Professor Mireille Miller-Young. They say Miller-Young, who teachers feminist studies, grabbed the sign from them, and when they attempted to get it back, kicked and pushed them.

Professor does not understand that this is wrong.

The Nazis and the Bolsheviks saw nothing wrong with their strong-arm street tactics either.

Any non-freerepublic links are at your own risk.

That is supposedly a UCSB link (University of Santa Barbara link).

Most Universities do not spread viruses, but maybe UCSB and UC-Berkeley are exceptions...

With the attention she is receiving, someone may have hacked her webpage to spread (to get her in trouble)...

She is a person that might draw some cyber-attacks...

The prof was probably attempting to provoke them into fighting back, at which point she would scream "Assault!". I would expect she had somebody with a video camera, set to start recording the instant they fought back (and omitting the provocation).

Those that support infanticide wouldn’t be expected to respect something as trivial as property.

“This professor has degrees in Pornography and Black Studies?”

My guess is she wasn’t good at either which is why she teaches.

Hahaha, gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, “Those that can, do. Those that can’t, teach!”

Well, I hope they can do something about it. At least they are not going to let it go away.

In their minds, only laws that benefit them apply to the Left. The others are to ignore and for the peasants.

The article said one of the girls involved in this incident is 16 years old- So shouldn’t there be a charge of A & B on a minor too?

Here in Texas they could have shot the bastid. And maybe should have.

One of my unwritten laws of life is to never trust anyone with a hyphenated last name.

Or a man in a dress; or a psychiatrist with a hairpiece.

Professor does not understand that this is wrong.

I disagree.

This "Professor" knows perfectly well that what she did was wrong.

That's the way she gets what she wants.

These two Sisters should push for her prosecution, and hopefully, dismissal.

That outcome will accomplish two things:

1. She will, for once in her life, have to pay for her behavior.

2. She will become an example for the many other "Professors" who also get what they want the same way.

P.S. And when she tries the obligatory leftist "I apologize if I offended someone", the Sisters should not accept it, and continue to press her, just like she did to them.

She will do it again to the next individuals that she wants to intimidate, should she get away with it this time.

And her webpage at UC Santa Barbara

That's one disgusting CV. I need a shower after reading her paper titles.

Yup, reading her page from UCSB shows just about everything that is wrong with the modern US state run university.....
