Fake eviction notices at Florida University cause stir

[Calamari]

You're outraged. Think about how the people who get those for real must feel.

I think this group has made its point, even if it is still dawning on some of the right.

calamari, remember when the palestinians supported the nazis during WW2?

[Calamari]

All this is revealing is your hypocrisy on this issue. Of course that is no big feat.

Stand outside and speak all they want

When they single out only Jews to "evict", I consider that a problem

Would you have a problem with handing out fake "eviction" notices to all of the blacks on campus as a "non-violent free speech" protest? Would you complain about something like that at all??

It is no different than a KKK march, and is protected speech.

[karlydee]

A noose isn't violent yet you can arrested if you put nooses on the doors.

Intimidation is subjective. You would say a noose is intimidation, and a jew would say these "eviction notices" were intimidation. In fact, that's what they're arguing.

It clearly says

"Not a Real Eviction Notice" -- get a grip

I'm not outraged. I simply think it's an unacceptable form of "free speech" which is equivalent to harassment.

If this type of "speech" is allowed, it will open the floodgates for other extreme left- and right-wing organizations to plaster other people's property with such "fake notices." As I said before, the "fake notices" could contain graphic images, like aborted fetuses, pictures of death penalty executions, victims who were killed during various crimes...

The "notice" could even be made to look like an official summons, claiming that the person being "served" has either committed a heinous offense or has been a victim. It doesn't matter if a disclaimer is included at the bottom of the document, along with the other fine print.

Either way, it's misleading and it's wrong. There are much more effective ways to make a point. All these guerilla tactics are doing is driving people who are on the sidelines over to the opposition's side.

It says in big bold letters at the bottom "NOT A REAL EVICTION NOTICE"

Read the notice from Baltimatt's link on the OP -- scroll down and click on the notice for large size -- you can see how actually inoffensive it is

so if they put a "not a real noose" on a picture of a noose put up on doors it would be okay?

[Calamari]

I love how you avoid any argument with more questions.

Questions as deflections. Cute, but not impressive.

[betamanlet]

What about the school officials that allowed this squiddo? Do you think they would have allowed people to put nooses on doors?

[Calamari]

Case in point.

Wasn’t there a thread about this the other day? Or am I experiencing déjà vu again?
