Bizarre protest ends painfully...for the viewers of this video.

Here's the backstory.

And one thing I want to build consensus on.  Let's democratically agree that the guy holding the camera needs to be punched in the face until no more words come out.

couldnt make it to the end.

should have led with the tazer

So, as I understand it, people occupied a state-owned building and started making demands.

The NYPD was never, as far as I can tell, involved. According to the video and the link, everything was handled with NYU Security personnel.

I see this as a direct result of the riots in Greece last year.

I can respect what they're trying to do. The way they chose to go about it will be a good "How Not To" for future social activists.

May I make a recommendation? Pepper spray aerosol grenades.

Hell, its a college cafeteria. Might add some flavor.

I want to collectively decide to kick that kid in the nuts.

camera man is a total douche...

but college needs to be more affordable, i can agree with that. my college tuition costs have doubled since i started 4 years ago.

i can't see this alleged video, but i'm nto shocked that there was a poorly organized protest with a bunch of confused douchebags at nyu.

it seems half the people i knew from there would switch causes every other week. i never came up with a name for them, but i'm pretty sure faux-hippy would have been a part of it.

My favorites were the "trustifarians."

My favorites were the "trustifarians."

there were a few restaurants that i loved int he village, the only problemis i wanted to punch most of the people i encountered.

my fav was a guy asking me if i wanted to join some anti-fur group. i was wearing a leather jacket. he was seriously taken back that i said no and when i inquired why he asked the guy wearing a leather jacket.

at least they are being outspoken and not taking it laying down. not sure what it is they are taking, but dag nabbit they aren't laying down while taking it!

What an incredible show of self-restraint on the part of the security and officials in that video.

I would've hit the kid in the face with a chair 10 seconds into it.

10 seconds?!? I was ready to hit the guy about 5 seconds into it....

10 seconds?!? I was ready to hit the guy about 5 seconds into it....

At the beginning of the video none of them were close enough to him to do it though.  It would've taken a little time to pick a chair up and get to him.

I thought it through.

I can't believe I watched the whole thing and no one even got a boot to the head.
Big thumbs up to NYU for being so incredibly patient with these mouthbreathers.
I want my 9minutes 22 seconds back.

my guess is..... one of the professors there was handing out chaos credits. All the poly/sci slackers who were on the edge between D and F showed up to cash in.
