So much for NYU students rallying to demand budget disclosure, endowment disclosure, and student representation on the Board of Trustees. “Take Back NYU” is over and now it’s Hardcore TBNYU time to shine.

According to LocalNYU supporters took advantage of the mild weather to protest in a flash-ier way. Two girls stood outside Kimmel topless proclaiming “Show your tits for TBNYU!” The shirtless protesters hung around for half an hour as TV news crews asked filmed their backs during interviews. Apparently the girls do in fact attend NYU.

Remember that protest at NYU? Well, it turns out that you can’t do that and get away with it. After over 40 hours of protest, during which students barricaded themselves into one of the school’s cafeterias, 18 students have been suspended from the school, pending disciplinary review. The students were fighting for, among other things, transparency in the school’s budget and more affordable tuition and attendance costs. Apparently, that didn’t work.

During next month’s Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado, hundreds of the city’s homeless will be given movie tickets, passes to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science and the Denver Zoo in an attempt to spare them “being caught up in the mayhem” of the convention. The Colorado Coalition for the Homeless will also be providing bus passes to get to events outside walking distance to facilitate the exodus. (more…)

The days of animal rights activists dressing up like bloodied chickens, running around in circles in front of KFC, and generally making asses of themselves is over. At least for professors at UC’s Berkeley Campus.

On July 8th several animal rights protesters dressed in hoods decided to become nuisances not on campus, but right in front of a toxicology professor’s home. Nine protestors decided to disturb a peaceful neighborhood by dressing in scarves and hoods like terrorists, and yelling insults through a bullhorn. One such protestor decided to resort violence by breaking a window. This is not an isolated incident, several researchers in fields like eyesight and the aging brain, who experiment on animals have reported having their homes attacked by firebombs and acid. To make matters worse moonbats like Dr. Jerry Vlasak of the terrorist organization the Animal Liberation Front says, “if you have to hurt somebody or intimidate them, or kill them” to protect an animal’s life, “it is morally justifiable.” Words that echo a certain bearded man that takes up residence in caves.
