I know we have a lot of different posters here with different backgrounds and different views, so I was wondering which protests have you been involved with?

I don't mean flying a Ukrainian flag or liking a post, I mean physically showing up at a protest or rally.

I have never been a part of one.  In person, I really have only seen a few, where I was right there and could hear/see it going on.  

What about all of you?

I was in an all campus snowball fight back in the 80s. Me and another guy actually started it. Resulted in a handful of arrests and numerous student health visits. Does that count?

Hmmmm, was it like...anti-snow?  

If not, I don't think it counts!

I walked by a UNL protest of Columbus Day...it was like 8-12 goofs that were calling it genocide day and passing out some stuff.

 
Ohhh i was "sort of" part of a walk-out to end gun violence about 5 years ago I think?  

We had some students walk out to try and end gun violence and I could not walk out with them because I was teaching but I did "work" on their behalf to help them not get in trouble for walking out.

It was sort of anti-dormie? We started it by throwing snowballs at the first few floors of windows on Pound. Yeah I know that doesn’t count.

There was some big Iranian student protest where they were marching down 17th or 16th or Q street. I totally missed it.

Hey it got serious. 400-500 people involved. LPD dispatched riot units. The cops pulled in between the 2 groups and then everybody started throwing at them. They got back in their cars, backed away and waited for it to die down. Then when it was over they arrested a few stragglers…prob uninvolved people walking home from the library  :lol:

Ha!  Oh my god, that is what college experiences are about!  All these years later you remember it!

Did you get cuffed? 

 
Just watched a few protests in regards to backwater Missouri/Westboro preachers that came to Pittsburg State. Pretty hilarious how mad people get about others expressing views which you can simply walk away from.

/I was also once handed a stack of textbooks by a traveling monk on campus on the way to my O-Chem class. Funny times!
