But our resident cowboy from Scott Quad had already made his mind up that he was there to show his ass once again. I would in general agree that the first floor would have probably been smarter as it would still give you visibility and lessen the egress issue, but the chief annoys me so I also don't really care.

It has always been one of the things I like most about OU and Athens. Can somebody hit a pull up jumper for me?.....

They went out-of-sight once the hostages were taken. One of the leaders, a congenial guy, lived across the hall from me in Crooks...I sometimes wonder what he is up to now.

Today, I'd probably wear a death to the Shah shirt with them. US foreign policy and propping that corrupt leader up, directly led the the horrible relationship for the last 40 years.

Cold War era diplomacy resulted in many unsavory alliances and puppets. Our relationship with the Shah countered the Soviet's cozy relationship with Iraq.

You can't be in a busy building blocking the fire exits. If you want to shout at the wind, go do it outside.

Ever heard of freedom of assembly? Freedom of speech? There were a half million people in D.C. last week demonstrating and marching. Not ONE arrest! This was pathetic what took place in Athens.

If you take over potions of a building for a few hours and then the police show up and give you several warnings to leave or be arrested, don't complain about being arrested. I honestly don't get it. Seems simple to me. Last Edited: 2/6/2017 7:58:57 PM by Ohio69 Can somebody hit a pull up jumper for me?.....

Seems simple to me. I agree. It's called "civil disobedience" - potential arrest is part of the action decision.
