VILE AND AWFUL BEHAVIOR

Why is it that any man can be kicked off campus when there is no evidence of any kind of crime but the universities tolerate every kind of intolerant, sick, outrageous and illegal behavior from their so-called students and nothing ever happens to any of them even if they light fires, rob, steal, vandalize, riot, take over buildings and destroy the image of the university? I think we might be getting back to the point where only people really interested in attending school will be allowed on campus because I expect to see scores of colleges close their doors forever as a result of the corona charade played out in this country since March. Those that remain aren't going to have deep enough pockets to be able to afford to extend a helping hand to all the socialists, freeloaders, rioter-in-training and the rest of that ilk. They're going to have to accept students who have the money to pay for college.

A lot of the schools were in financial trouble even before they kicked all the students off campus in response to a bug less dangerous to students than the usual annual flu. Having slit their own throats they found that it is impossible to get most of the kids to return in the fall and now some of them are finding their biggest source of income dried up when the NCAA encouraged participating schools to cancel their sports schedules. The bigger schools are going to lose tens of millions of dollars that they need to stay afloat. The state schools might make it because they figure the states have deep pockets.

One of the things all seem to not care about is the guys wearing the combat uniforms and blue or black union suits who carry guns, a.k.a the police. It's marvelous how all these moronic leftist city council critters have decided to cave in to the demands of the still vile blm and antifa who demand massive reductions in police budgets and we see cities like Seattle and Portland and others slashing their police budgets and laying off hundreds of cops. What the press never seems to mention as this goes on is how the cities are forced to find huge budget cuts because their revenue streams dried up as they chose poorly in their response to the corona challenge and slammed the door on business who paid all kinds of taxes to the city and state and find that without letting them have customers and buyers, that that enormous source of free money is gone. Their spending for homeless services soared as they decided it made some kind of sense to put the homeless up in hotels that charge $175/night and the cities pay without demur.

I doubt one in a hundred of the citizens running the cities gave a second thought to what the downstream economic effects would be on them if they shut down business and industry on a massive scale and vastly increased their social services expenses. Losers.

I find it ODD that no one wants to defund the Sheriffs Offices across the country. must be because it's an elected office and not staffed by a mayors cronies. I have found that the truly effective Sheriffs Offices are led generally by a conservative or Republican Sheriff. there is a sheriff in denver but he is a lacky of the mayor only fit to run a jail-which they are not so good at-and usually gets the tailings of funding.

a friend of my Bro-in-law was a deputy in San Diego. The work was easy but your first year was spent in the jail. There was a hiring freeze for about 3 years and so he spent 3 years in jail before he escaped. As I recall, he ended up as the sheriff driving instructor for his last 10 years in the force. It was all, let me show you how to eat a cheeseburger at 120 mph. Having dinner with his family was good for the soul.
