Marie, people are not allowed to break the law while victimizing others.

“Constitutional right to freedom of assembly”
Really, did they have the constutional right to in essence shut down a business? Would I have the constitutional right to block entry into someone’s house if I happened to not agree with them? Sorry, but I hope the thirteen have are convicted for what they did.

And it’s more than embarrassing: it’s frightening. Our constitutional rights to freedom of assembly and freedom of speech are being eroded. I expected half of Davis’ citizens to be down at that courthouse to support these kids. I was disappointed. Our civil rights are what makes this country so wonderful When those rights are slowly eroded, we need to stand up as a community and say, “no more, not in America.” Is there more apathy in Davis than I imagined? What is going on here?

I wish the Davis Dozen victory. I tried to explain to my friends that don’t live near Davis what happened. They all seem to summarize it this way: “Wait a minute: you’re telling me your campus police pepper-sprayed those kids right in their faces, when they were just sitting there, then those kids got arrested? Really?” I don’t even know how to answer their questions. It’s so…embarrassing, for our community. Peace.

In a just world there would not be banks, much less banks profiting from interest-bearing student loans thanks to university officials who raise tuition to unsustainable levels to cover increased costs that could be readily financed by other means. In a just world the “Davis banker’s dozen” would be recognized for their courageous and principled actions, carried out for the good of students AND professors, not for profit.
