Berkeley lockdown
 

BERKELEY, CA—Advising students to remain in their dormitories and
classrooms until the situation was resolved, the University of
California, Berkeley declared a campuswide lockdown Thursday after
several loose pages from The Wall Street Journal were found on a park
bench outside a school building. “At 11:15 this morning, several pages
from two separate sections of today’s Wall Street Journal were
discovered spread across a bench outside of Eshleman Hall in Lower
Sproul Plaza,” read the urgent alert sent to all students and faculty,
emphasizing that while campus security and local police had safely
disposed of the pages, there was no way of knowing if others were strewn
elsewhere on university grounds. “As of now, the perpetrator remains at
large, so it is vital that you stay where you are until the all-clear is
given. In the meantime, notify police immediately if you have any
additional information at all regarding this incident.” At press time, a
black-clad group of 50 students were throwing bottles at the bench while
chanting, “No Nazis, No KKK, No Fascist U.S.A!”

Sounds about right.

But when Harry posts something from Weenieleaks, he doesn't give the source. Likes to pretend it's
true.

Not far off. Ann Coulter was scheduled to speak. UC says nope. Did not
go through a correct scheduling process. Anything to prevent contrary to
Berkeley professors thoughts. A sad thing about Berkeley is years ago they
voted to,let students vote in city elections. Actual Berkeley residents
now have little say in local government.

I can't imagine anyone who is not riding the rainbow bus ever living
in Berkeley, At least for the last half century.

Growing up about 6 miles from the Berkeley limits, was a nice place.
Beautiful area in the hills. But when the gimme everything free took over
went downhill. Probably not really bad till about 30 years ago. My dad
retired from UC. Management in the facilities area. Growing up when the
aprons were semi normal. I went through school from about the 1st grade
with the Presidents, later chancellors, son. Clark Jr. is still a normal
person.
