Surprised that UMass/Crazyland has taken this event so calmly.

While I can somewhat understand people’s different opinions of the case, I just can’t understand the hands up don’t shoot symbolism. This never happened. Brown never had hands up to surrender. Yet somehow this has become a symbol of this event, even though it didn’t happen that way.

The actual symbolism should be heads down, in the charging position, charging someone like a bull. But that actual symbolism of what really happened doesn’t fit the liberal narrative surrounding this case.

I think that “Hands Up, Walk Out” is a good idea.

If Brown had done that instead of attacking Officer Wilson and trying to take his gun he would be alive today.

Not really. All of these morons added together amounts to about 1/10 of a single Tea Party Rally that the media ignores.

because it doesn’t fit the leftist narrative.

But hey, it may work for them and they might get what they are asking for and more . . .

Unbelievable, to think that so much money from parents and grandparents is spent to get these kids a good education, only to be brainwashed by a bunch of commie teachers. It just proves how devoid these jerks are of the facts in the case. As a country we are plummeting down a cesspool to hell.

"This never happened."

Neither has there been a free Cuba in 55 years, but that doesn't stop the accolades to Fidel and his mafia.

It seems like if they REALLY wanted to show solidarity, they’d steal cigars and beat the crap out of any Asian store keeper they can find.

Does this mean I can do “hands down, kick you square in the balls?”

These children are so incredibly silly.

Ridicule is the only remedy for this level of lunacy.

True, but it wasn’t all that much different in the late 60s

They now either know that “Hands Up” was a lie, or they are complete morons who don’t belong in any college.

800 (including faculty and staff) out of 22,000+ undergraduates isn’t very impressive.

But if I were a student (or paying parent) I would be pretty p***ed that class was canceled for this BS.
