Trigger warnings, safe spaces, and fascism on college campuses

As Clay Travis has said, because the demand for racism far outstrips the supply, you get these hilarious race hoaxes.

This one is especially crazy, because it was the black state legislator telling the Cuban guy to "go back where he came from." She then goes out and claims he said it to her. The man's social media posts show he's stridently anti-Trump and actually commented on the chant from Trump's speech last week. You can't make this one up.

There really isn't a reason to have a "heated grocery store encounter."

Appropriate things to say at the grocery store include:

"Wow. These low sodium crackers are $5.99!"

and

"When did granola bars become candy bars?"

FIRE is a great organization. I know several people who have joined it in the last year or so.

Dixie State is on the list....

That is hilarious.

Edit: At the 15 second mark you can see the dude that's upset about the gendered language, with red hair and a red spandex onsie thing, lose it when the sensory overload whiner uses the term "guys". Captain Intersex is sitting two seats to the left of the microphone (lower right hand corner of the video) and nearly wets himself as he stumbles to get to the mic.

You truly have to watch this multiple times to pick up on all the awesomeness.

Lol. That is like a South Park skit.

Oh my... The “Jazz hands” instead of applause is a thing now I guess. So weird!

Do they really call each other “comrade”?

Triggered by a guy who was triggered, which in turn likely triggered the first guy all over again.

"Point of personal privilege!" How do they ever get anything done?

I don’t even know what that means. Man I would lose patience with that. How do professors do it?

These people have untreated paranoid, histrionic and narcissistic personality disorders. They are either deeply suspicious of others' motives, trying to draw attention to themselves or seeking to lord over everyone with their idiosyncrasies. While this behavior might be okay at Evergreen State, Oberlin and the Convention of Socialist Assholes, there are very few places of employment where this type of behavior is acceptable -- and most families will also get fed up with this nonsense too.

It's like a weird self-reinforcing system where you are incentivized to exhibit the symptoms of your particular disorder and then told that everyone else needs to accept your asshole behavior.

I'm not sure this goes here but it does sound like this individual was triggered. His space wasn't patriotic enough.

Man brutally attacks teen for refusing to remove hat during national anthem:

A Montana man allegedly slammed a 13-year-old boy to the ground at a rodeo over the weekend because the teen neglected to remove his hat during the national anthem — leaving the teen with a fractured skull.

Curt James Brockway, 39, told police that he asked the boy to remove his hat out of respect for the national anthem that was playing before the start of the county rodeo on Saturday, according to the Mineral County Sheriff’s Office.

Mineral County Attorney Ellen Donohue said the teen cursed at Brockway. The man than grabbed the teenager by the throat, “lifted him into the air and slammed the boy into the ground.”

Brockway said his actions were justified because the boy “was disrespecting the national anthem so he had every right to do that.”

I blame Trump.

Brockway said his actions were justified because the boy “was disrespecting the national anthem so he had every right to do that.”

For the lawyers on the board - the right to fracture a minor's skull over anthem disrespect - is that considered a natural right, or is it defined in the Constitution and/or the statutes?

Well he had every right, so I think that means all of the above, plus all the other ones you didn't bring up.

Full disclosure: I'm not a lawyer, though I have given "legal advice" in prison.
