Signs ripped up in anger. Chants of “we believe survivors.” Furious finger pointing.
A large group of students became enraged Tuesday afternoon by a pro-Brett Kavanaugh tabling effort at the University of Texas at Austin put together by its Young Conservatives of Texas chapter. A crowd of furious students encircled the group and yelled at its members while chanting obscenities and destroying their signs.
The conservative group had decided to set up a “Confirm Kavanaugh” display in an effort to show support for the embattled U.S. Supreme Court judge nominee and argue for the need for corroborating evidence, said student Anthony Dolcefino, vice chairman of the group.
They drew up signs stating phrases such as “#MeToo gone #TooFar,” “KavaNotGuilty” and “No Campus Kangaroo Courts in Congress.” They also put up a “Change My Mind” sign, a call to debate peers.
“We did want people to talk to us, but unfortunately it’s hard to do that when you have an angry mob ripping our signs and screaming in our faces,” Dolcefino told The College Fix in a telephone interview Tuesday.
The half-dozen or so conservative students who took part in the effort set up their display around 11 a.m. and got a few passersby and hecklers, but the crowd swelled around 12:15 p.m. when classes let out, he said. As the crowd grew the display was relocated to accommodate the throng.
“At the peak we had 150 people out there recording, screaming, rioting,” Dolcefino said. “The UTPD got involved, making sure people were not coming behind us.”
Numerous videos posted Tuesday show the large crowd flank the handful of pro-Kavanaugh students. Most of the questions coming at the conservative students were shouted in angry and accusatory tones, while the YCT students responded in calmer voices. Intermittently throughout the chaos chants of “fuck YCT,” “we believe survivors” and “YCT off UT” started up.
Lots of tolerance on the left...
Hopefully many will be truly embarrassed when this is over. Probably not, most will be saying “he threw ice” until the day they die.
Remember those small wooden souvenir baseball bats? Pro-Trump/Kavanaugh demonstrators should carry their sign in one hand and the bat in the other, then use it to defend themselves against such physical attacks.
Oh well.
The new Red Guards.
It was @ UT Autism, so no surprise of the mentally deranged crowds.
Why not pepper spray and then claim the lefties tried to sexually assault them?
One brave young lad had a MAGA cap on, which so incensed a skinny Latina that she tried to yank it off his head. At that point, campus cops did step in and made her back off.
That’s the kind of “tolerance” and “respect for opposing views” that conservatives expect at the University of Texas in Austin…our tax-funded Leftist cesspool.
It’s insane the way college administrators look the other way when students scream obscenities and harass other students on campus without repercussions. Anywhere else it would be disturbing the peace.
The left is behaving more and more like communist thugs (Democrats).
Intolerance, defamation, and violence are attributes of totalitarian governments. Do those violent thugs know that?
Why are they in college? Perhaps they should be transferred to a college of their choice in Venezuela; tuition is cheaper there.
Pepper spray also a good idea.
“I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death my right to harass you, scream obscenities at you and destroy your property.”
Today’s “Progressives”
The jackbooted brown shirts of the left, charming as always.
Furious finger pointing?......................
They don't even see that this is tautology, Someone (anyone) can say "I am a survivor of a sexual assault" and at that point, you just have to believe them -- because they are a survivor!!
and where is the video
There’s a video at the link. Not sure why it’s not showing up for you.
Press PLAY.
believe if you want but you are still wrong in some cases and look like fools just blindly backing without real proof of any incident, like with Kavanaugh, all fake.
