“Start a war, get a gun, shoot me first”
“This is an aggressive tone. I’m feeling a little threatened right now,” one student can be heard saying on the video as Olmstead rips off his jacket and throws it to the ground, appearing to gear up for a physical altercation.
The professor then becomes more irate when one student approaches him in an attempt to calm him down.
Olmstead is seen in the video shoving the student and starting to threaten the group, urging them to “do something” if they wanted him removed. He then grabs the phone of a student who had been using it to film his awkward behavior and puts it in his back pocket.
With the phone still recording, Olmstead can be heard continuing his tirade, shouting, “Do something.”

The Professor then launched into a confusing tirade about how Ginger and Maryann ignored him and paid too much attention to a fellow named “Gilligan.”

Man. Tea party and those wacky rethugikkans are nuts eh?

Those guys brought it on themselves as soon as they called him “little buddy”.
Gatsu on March 19, 2013 at 10:40 AM
Eh, left on left bs. The guy was trying to be provocative but forgot he was not in a classroom and could not bully them as he would his students.

Liberals Gone Wild – now available as a boxed set.

When I first read this elsewhere last night, this is the part that jumped out at me and did so again this morning. What kind of wussified society have we created? Who says that?? What, do you want a cookie, glass of milk and a nap mat so you can feel better? That single sentence explains so much about the under-30 voting patterns of the last decade.

Well it is nice to know that tenure doesn’t cover everything.

From what I understand other witnesses say that these protesters were setting up phony “checkpoints” and blocking the way for people to pass, trying to protest the immigration laws and border check points.
This guy got pissed because they kept getting in his way and keep him from passing.
If some idiot wouldn’t let me by, he’d be laid out on the sidewalk with a bloody nose.

And like a typical liberal, he assumed the “rules” didn’t apply to him. They always assume they will somehow be immune from the negative consequences of their stupid policies. This clown is probably one of the most vocal proponents of open borders on campus, and look where it got him. Socialism is never for the socialist.

Exactly. That stood out to me too, out of the whole article.
That sentence sounds like something two kinds of people say:
1) Actors
2) Hard-leftists bathed in their screed.

That’s from Monty Python isn’t it?

You know, your words are hurtful.
I will not subject my self-esteem to all your negative energy. I’m taking the bus and you will not see me at the pancake social tomorrow!
(huff)

This +1000.

They are speaking the language of campus complaints and lawsuits which of course is wussy.
If the kids were just being annoying, I feel more sympathy towards the prof.
Blake on March 19, 2013 at 1:08 PM
Based on my experiences, a-holes are heavily overrepresented in the law professor population.
novaculus on March 19, 2013 at 1:35 PM
My exact thought, too.

Funny you should say that! We literally have a traitor count in the thousands that in more enlightened times would be shot outright or shipped to Cuba on a raft.
