At the George Washington University Gaza Solidarity Encampment today, the protesters held a "People's Tribunal" where they put President Ellen Granberg, Provost Christopher Bracey, the Board of Trustees,@GWPolice, and many others on trial.
Is it normal for students to want to hang their provost and chop the heads off of the Board of Trustees?
"Guillotine, Guillotine, Guillotine, Guillotine"
"Bracey, Bracey, we see you. You assault students too. Off to the motherfucking gallows with you."
"As you already know where I am sending her [to the guillotine], her and her fuckass bob."
When will @GWtweets finally do something? If the students hurt any of these people in any way, the university will be completely at fault.

(54,875 posts)These were mostly not students and not protesters. These were most likely agitators and "demonstrators" from outside the student body, paid to cause a fuss. GW students are too smart to yell public slogans like those. My daughter's class had active interns with Emily's List and organizations like that. They used to hang and work with Howard Dean and then-Senator Barack Obama. It's a big jump from there to calling for guillotining the school administration, and I doubt any genuine students were. DC is full of diplomatic hangers on, and plenty of embassy "staff" and their "families" are nothing of the sort. While my dad was an active journalist there, KGB guys barely bothering to disguise their true function used to interact with my dad--and even me--to see whom they could recruit. They didn't get very far with either of us, and when my dad told one of them, "come on Igor, you know better than that," comrade Igor shrugged his shoulders and said "we have orders to try." Today's "protesters (yeah, right) " probably also have their orders. I'm appalled that they should enjoy any more credibility than their KGB counterparts of 30 or 40 years ago.
