You know Trump's popularity is tanking when they have to resort to extortion to protect the delicate snowflake from booing IN ALABAMA!

Just wait until conservatives hear about this attempt to limit political free speech and to create a “safe space” on a college campus! They’ll be outraged! Simply, outraged!

Hehe

1. What happens if he gets another 4 years. Attack the booers by his Gestapo? n/t

[Jarqui]

2. Did anyone check if "sieg heil" would be ok ?

... as Trump stomps on the First Amendment to move a step closer to authoritarian rule ...

[TheBlackAdder]

3. How about signs or scrolls of cloth with Boo! written on them?

4. Alabama says it won't punish students who boo Trump at LSU game

If Trump is booed @ a SEC Football game in Alabama you know his goose is cooked. Looking forward to a bunch of
white students chanting, "Lock him up." Trump might decide he doesn't want to go to the game.

Alabama will not punish students who boo President Donald Trump at Saturday's game against LSU at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

In a statement Wednesday afternoon, the university's Student Government Association said an earlier message that threatened to revoke seating at future games for "organizations that engage in disruptive behavior" had been taken out of context.

"The SGA strongly affirms its belief in free speech and the rights of all students to express their opinions," the statement said. "Today’s report erroneously assigned a political context to a message meant only to remind students about heightened security and the consequences of altercations or other behaviors unbecoming of a University of Alabama student."

5. That's because the AL ACLU IMMEDIATELY put them on notice...

Kudos, ACLU

19. I am a member also

they helped me when I ran for US Congress and the City of Tacoma started plucking up my political yard signs

[malthaussen]

10. And I strongly affirm that that statement is bullshit.

"Taken out of context," forsooth. Good little politicians all.

They’ll always try to take cover with worthless excuses like that one.

[gopiscrap]

20. exactly I think the operative here was they were afraid of

lawsuits

[eppur_se_muova]

13. Who said the SGA has any authority to do this ? I strongly suspect that actual University ...

officials had nothing to do with their statement.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

25. Thanks for clarifying that!!

[Progressive Jones]

30. Nice back pedal, Alabama! LOL nt

7. To the person who tried to intimidate student protestors:

You have made more protestors -- thank you, very much.

9. "You will cheer for the Dear Glorious Leader or ELSE!"

Straight out of North Korea.

12. this won't go over well...

getting between a football fan and their season tickets is not a good thing

[Initech]

14. Conservatives only care about safe spaces when they're the ones benefitting from them.

What a bunch of pathetic snowflakes.

[smirkymonkey]

31. Their hypocrisy is legendary.

My safe space...

16. After the Vice President of Student Affairs for the SGA at Alabama sent out that directive

he was deluged by an avalanche of calls, Tweets, texts, Reddit and Instagram comments threatening him with lawsuits for stomping on their First Amendment Rights, including the @ACLU.
He had to rescind that directive soon after, so there will be no such directive imposed on the First Amendment rights of Americans attending a football game. ( My daughter attends University of Alabama and myself and my family will be at the game this weekend.)

17. If he's booed in Tuscaloosa..

I just might rethink my allegiance to Auburn.

[ThoughtCriminal]

21. Not likely that many will

But if they do, this Auburn guy will give them a good Roll Tide!

I do know some good liberal Alumni from both universities, but they were a small minority.

[Crowman2009]

22. Speaking of which, there was a brief mention of Tuscaloosa in the Jobriath documentary.

The audience was described as wildly enthusiastic to the point where there was several encores and after that the fire alarm went off. Unfortunately as Jobriath's momentum was picking up steam, it would be his last tour date ever and his label dropped him.

26. Tickets are a fortune. There will be far more cheers

Than boos.

28. Around the hole and down the bowl....and roll tide roll.

[NCLefty]

29. I would boo anyway, and if they took my football seat I'd switch schools.

F that.
