Back in June of 2010 a leader of a pro-Palestinian student group at
University of Berkeley allegedly rammed a Jewish woman with a shopping
cart as she staged a counter-protest to an anti-Israel "Apartheid Week”
rally conducted by the Muslim Student Association and Students for Justice in Palestine. The counter-protest was dubbed "Israel Wants Peace Week.”



Now, U.S. District Court Judge Richard Seeborg has deemed that the Muslim students who harassed Jessica Felber and other Jewish students were simply engaging in protected political speech.

1) ROP can do no wrong

2) So this means somebody can [coc violation] this judge with a shopping cart and call it protected political speech,  right?

You realize that the student was suing the University and that it was the University that was dismissed, right?   The news story is not exactly accurate.

Almost makes you sad the Occupy movement is pretty much dead.  Sooo many missed opportunities.

Oh, and reading the proverbial beat down that a higher court will provide to this Super Genius Extraordinaire on the bench should be fun.

Wow....I knew my State was screwed up, but covering assault under the guise of Free Speech is beyond unacceptable.

Attention.  You have all been mislead by the news story.  I just read the entire decision by the Judge.   It has absolutely nothing to do with an assault with a shopping cart.  Zero, nothing, nada.  

The suit was bullshit.  It essentially said that the U.C. Berkley permitted a hostile atmosphere by allowing pro-Palestinians to protest.  Most of the Plaintiff's complaints were related to protests where she wasn't even present.  

Email me if you want a copy of the actual opinion.  Otherwise carry on in a frenzy.

Thread title is not truthful.  The judge did NOT rule that hitting someone with a shopping cart was free speech.  Read the article, not just the thread title.  The issue was whether the UNIVERSITY, which was the entity being sued, had an obligation to intervene.  Here's what the judge held:  “Rather, that event occurred when she, as one person attempting to exercise free speech rights in a public forum was allegedly attacked by another person who likewise was participating in a public protest in a public forum.”  The judge didn't hold that the assault was lawful or "free speech," but was instead merely rendering an opinion on the duty the University owed in this circumstance.
