teachercd Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I know we have a lot of different posters here with different backgrounds and different views, so I was wondering which protests have you been involved with? I don't mean flying a Ukrainian flag or liking a post, I mean physically showing up at a protest or rally. I have never been a part of one. In person, I really have only seen a few, where I was right there and could hear/see it going on. What about all of you? 1 Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I was in an all campus snowball fight back in the 80s. Me and another guy actually started it. Resulted in a handful of arrests and numerous student health visits. Does that count? 1 Link to comment

I walked by a UNL protest of Columbus Day...it was like 8-12 goofs that were calling it genocide day and passing out some stuff. 1 Link to comment
teachercd Posted March 31 Author Share Posted March 31 Ohhh i was "sort of" part of a walk-out to end gun violence about 5 years ago I think? We had some students walk out to try and end gun violence and I could not walk out with them because I was teaching but I did "work" on their behalf to help them not get in trouble for walking out. 1 Link to comment

We started it by throwing snowballs at the first few floors of windows on Pound. Yeah I know that doesn’t count. There was some big Iranian student protest where they were marching down 17th or 16th or Q street. I totally missed it. 3 minutes ago, teachercd said: Ohhh i was "sort of" part of a walk-out to end gun violence about 5 years ago I think?

Hey it got serious. 400-500 people involved. LPD dispatched riot units. The cops pulled in between the 2 groups and then everybody started throwing at them. They got back in their cars, backed away and waited for it to die down. Then when it was over they arrested a few stragglers…prob uninvolved people walking home from the library 1 Link to comment

Decked Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Just watched a few protests in regards to backwater Missouri/Westboro preachers that came to Pittsburg State. Pretty hilarious how mad people get about others expressing views which you can simply walk away from. /I was also once handed a stack of textbooks by a traveling monk on campus on the way to my O-Chem class. Funny times! 1 Link to comment
