Quote DJ Byrnes from Crisis Communications: It’s hard to envision that response happening to anyone protesting anything else, but maybe next time, the pro-Palestine crowd will have the smarts to protest in a yet-to-be-discovered manner that appeases their critics while also effectively getting their message across."

Harken back to spring quarter 1970 at OSU, DJ. All we were doing was protesting the Vietnam war, trying to get ROTC off campus, trying to get cirriculum to be relevant for black students, etc. I realize this was before you were born, DJ. Students were killed at KSU, which ramped up everything. Not only was the State Patrol called in, shooting us with rubber bullets and kicking asses, but the Ohio National Guard, too, all teargassing us. So yes, I can and did envision it, breathe it. Those days radicalized me forever.

Thanks for the link to the Otani betting scandal. These problems will only get worse with legalized gambling but hey not our problem right? About the protests going on at OSU and other campuses good for the students to use their voices to support their causes! But DeWine and the other governors they want the protest to show that we need to crack down on dissent. It’s 1968 all over again. 🙏
