There was this guy at my school today speaking about something that is not important for this topic. I'll just say that it was controversial. But he was speaking in the center of campus and the crowd around him got up to about... I'd say 200 students. The police were there too. And some students were making counter speeches, but most were there to see the action I guess.
When the police arrived (they do this to make sure no one gets hurt), the crowd started chanting "arrest him now." I didn't care about the event up to that point. These people who were supposedly for equal rights wanted somebody arrested for speaking. How come when someone's own freedom is in danger they'll talk about their rights, maybe even make drama out of it... as they should, of course. But when they don't agree with another person, the same doesn't apply to him or her? Hypocritical.
