Yale's College Republicans hold BBQ near a hunger strike to increase protesters' anguish

Most union-busting techniques are explicit, like legal challenges and anti-union campaigning. But when all else fails, go for the gut.

Yale University's local College Republicans chapter held a barbecue on Friday near the fasting site of campus union organizers participating in a hunger strike directed against the university. Bragging about the wafting, delicious smells on Facebook, it appears to have been a move to torment the fasting grad students, who have thus far gone days without food in a protest for their worker's rights struggle.

"It'll taste (and smell) delicious!" the event description said on Facebook.

The tactic drew comparisons to another recent barbecue halfway across the world, where an Israeli youth group held a barbecue outside a prison in which Palestinians were engaging in a hunger strike.

This is pretty funny, and I'm sure it was a fake hunger strike by the liberals. They're 80% more likely to lie. They probably had bags filled with Big Mac's nearby for when they're Jones'n.

80%? Is that scientific? I think you may be giving them too much credit.
They lie 100% just like their father the devil.

It’s a tag team hunger strike. When one of the strikers gets hungry they “tag out” and go to eat as another just finished eating striker takes their place. It’s a no hunger, hunger strike.

That’s not a hunger strike it’s a hissy fit.

What about a mid-Ramadan pig roast in the lot adjacent to a mosque!

Oh, the "snowflake" version of a hunger strike?

Yale should just close its gates. It's no longer a real university if it can't teach the difference between reality and theatre.

Except of course this is a different kind of hunger strike. You participate until you get hungry then you eat and come back

The union and teachers are not striking, just their useful idiots. And a tag team strike is just silly. It is an interesting contrast for the weekend activities though, the liberals gather together to be miserable and bitch, and the conservatives have a spring barbecue.

Sucks to be a leftist.

If no one dies, it isn’t really a hunger strike. Sorry. I have high expectations from hunger strikers

LOL!! Good for them! Since the little ‘fasting’ pu$$ies are only fasting until their hungry, I’m sure they’ll rush over and beg for a meal. Just tell them call Bernie...he’ll be glad to buy them a meal.
