Radicalizing for Vandalism with Campus Identity Politics
Frontpage ^ | February 10, 2017 | Daniel Greenfield

Bernie is asking for a political revolution and college students are some of the main demographic he is speaking to,” Elizabeth Prier, communications director for the Young Democrats of Watauga County, told students at Appalachian State University’s Plemmons Student Union. That was a year ago.

This year, Prier became one of four ASU students arrested for spray painting "F--- Trump," "F--- Cops" and "Black Lives Matter" on a police car and stores in downtown Boone, North Carolina.

Watauga County is divided between rural conservative voters and the students of Appalachian State University. Boone has a smaller population than the number of students at ASU. The tug of war between residents and students made it a swing county going by very narrow margins from Obama to Romney.

If college students vote in high numbers, the college students could run small to midsize college towns. But in most towns, students have a low voter turnout.

Why would college students have any say in voting? The majority of them are either out-of-state, or at least from a different city/County. They aren’t residents of the city.

The laws state otherwise.

A college student that is a resident of a college town can legally register in the town where they live and where their college is located.

I think it is either/or. I am sure they are not allowed to vote in both places in the same election.

What a group of winners we have here. App State eh? I surprised they had any energy to protest after hitting the bong so much. App State has been overtaken for the most part by rich liberal kids from Georgia. One of my best friends daughters decided she HAD to go there. The cost is basically 35 grand a year for out of state tuition and board. He said no way (shes not the sharpest tool), so grandma decided to invest her retirement into this little Einstein. I was kind of surprised she was not one of the four. Yes, she has turned out that liberal.

Controversy flared up last year when racist “white privilege” boards denouncing white students, Christians and women were put up by social justice activists. A student who objected to its hateful leftist message faced harassment and threats. One message said: “This white girl deserves all of the cyberbullying because she’s white and has never experienced oppression.”

Liberals: lowlife's and criminals best friends... If you're looking for a thug - look no further than the democrat party...

Time to arrest Bernie for inciting riots .
The people whose property was damaged need to start taking the people inciting to court and bankrupt them.
Stop playing their game .

Yup either/or, but some states are very sloppy about keeping their voter rolls updated :(
