Harvard Law Prof: Student Banned from Areas of Campus for Resembling Classmate’s Rapist


Yes — seriously.



A student at a liberal-arts school in Oregon was reportedly banned from going anywhere on campus that a fellow student would be — because he looked like the person who had raped her, according to Harvard Law professor Janet Halley.

In a piece for Harvard Law Review, Halley wrote that she had “recently assisted” a student who had been “ordered to stay away from a fellow student (cutting him off from his housing, his campus job, and educational opportunity) — all because he reminded her of the man who had raped her months before and thousands of miles away.”

The accused also had to endure a “month-long investigation into all his campus relationships, seeking information about his possible sexual misconduct in them,” which she called an “immense invasion of his and his friends’ privacy.”



And (believe it or not!) it gets worse. Even after this invasive investigation completely cleared him of any wrongdoing, he still wasn’t allowed to go anywhere where the student would be without risking punishment from the school.

“The stay-away order remained in place, and was so broadly drawn up that he was at constant risk of violating it and coming under discipline for that,” the piece continues.

According to Halley, the only way the accused student eventually learned of the source of the complaint against him at all was “by accident and off-hand.”

It’s devastating to think of a student being unable to walk around campus without having to risk being traumatized by reminders of her rape. But restricting a totally innocent student from walking around campus because he looks like the person who raped her is obviously unacceptable.

Halley’s article did not reveal the name of the school, the students involved, or the outcome of the situation.

Yw.

And the answer to your thread title is simple:

It's not "happening in the US"...

...it's happening in the USSA.

I have been telling young men at collages to avoid relations with women on campus. Don’t date them, if you have to work with them on an academic project always meet in a public place with lots of witnesses and never be alone with one because it only takes a few disgruntle words to railroad you into a university star chamber and ruin your life. But now even this advice will not protect you. What is happening to this nation?

Yup! Now that they got that non-American commie bastard in the WH they know that they can get away with this shit! Not even George Orwell thought of this.

I've heard that the "art crowd" can be difficult that way.

America....done

Bullcrap: America's not "done".

The spirit of America...

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

...is blueprinted from natural political law itself, so its natural might and unalienable sway is indestructible and, thus, can never be "done".

In truth, we have simply become occupied by the United Socialist State of America, a realization I personally came to in the very early morning of December 5, 2005, a realization which overwhelmed me so much I almost drowned in the depressing funk it constantly spewed during the next 48 hours of my life.

Then, after awakening on the morn of the 7th, I heard from a radio the glorious music of battle cry, instantly reminding me it was Pearl Harbor Day. Just as instantly the depressing funk lifted, as I took off to sit by an old mentor's grave from which can be seen the final resting places of hundreds of War Between the States veterans, South and North alike, their identical arched, white marble headstones marking where they lay in perpetual sleep.

Then and there I also realized that that tragic event in American history was truly the marking point of when statism in America truly took majority hold, and that my naive love for America! Right or Wrong! up til then had mostly blinded me to that fact all along.

That crisp, cold, beautiful blue sky December morning, I studied all those grave markers, instantly also realizing that age-old propaganda about all soldiers fighting for the same cause (the "cause" also propagandized according to which side a soldier fought on) is exactly that: propaganda. Because I knew that dead Confederate soldier there wasn't fighting for the same reason as that dead Rebel over there, and that dead Yankee there didn't die for the exact same reason his fellow Union soldier over there fought for.

Some say some 700,000 died during those four years and almost a month of America's darkest domestic years; I believe, perhaps, there were also almost as many individual reasons for fighting and dying during that statist dictated war.

That's when the realization came of exactly why I was led to that place of the dead that day: it doesn't matter what any other individual fights and dies for, all that matters is what you will fight and die for. Of course, in my mind, one truly willing to fight and die for something better have a reason that fully justifies that act, so I was then directly asked: what are you willing to fight and die for now?

Individual liberty was my natural, automatic, immediate answer, and from that literal second on my primary intent in this life has been serving that cause as best I can.

After two and a half years of virtually full contemplation on that cause and what I must do about it, I seceded from the statist-enabled life I'd been living before and took up position in a new environment, one I hoped would serve me for at least the next 20 years (Allah willing ), a period during which it seemed to me this grand battle between statism and individual liberty in America would begin to unmistakeably shake out.

Holding my position for almost 7 years, things are shaking out not as any surprise to me, although it's been very lonely this past decade thinking the way I do and not being aware of too many others, even the most liberty-loving pontificators, it seems, coming close to my way of thinking on the issue.

But now, more voices are beginning to sound, more thinking minds finally awakening to the realization that America is, indeed, now occupied by the totally corrupt tyranny socialism always brings with it, and that totally corrupt tyranny now almost completely pervades the federal government of the United Socialist State of America. There is no doubt whatsoever that more Americans are reaching that same conclusion each day, the very one I reached almost 10 years ago.

Now though, I must agonize further, waiting for these new converts to again catch up, for it's one thing to finally realize the true state of the USSA today (apologies to Al Neuharth), but it's a completely higher level a patriot must rise to realizing that something must be done about the tyrannical occupation America is now subjected to, and then an even higher patriotic level to ascend to actually begin doing what needs to be done.

The USSA today has made all American citizens virtual slaves to its regulative dictate: an American cannot live any quantifiable degree of individual freedom when the federal government rules over every aspect of citizen life. Thus, to maintain any sort of comfort level most American have become spoiled to, every citizen must submit to government regulation even more; to rise that comfort level any higher, a citizen can only play the federal government's statist game even more to have any hope of bettering his lot in this life.

That is exactly how statist cronies corrupt capitalism, that is exactly how tyrants enslave individual liberty.

Only when patriots today understand that great Americans once faced this very same tyrannical situation before, stared it straight in the face for the statism it is, pledged their lives and fortunes and sacred honors to rid themselves of that tyranny, DESPITE ALL THE RICHES, COMFORT, SECURITY THAT VERY STATISM HAD ALLOWED THEM AS THEY AS THEY PLAYED THE STATIST GAME, then declared war for their independence, fought their war for their independence, and won their war for independence...

...only when American patriots today fatefully dedicate themselves, their fortunes, and their very honor to that very same liberty-loving cause, is there even a hope for USSA occupation of America to ever end.

My fondest hope is that America can evict the statist occupiers from power without a single drop of blood being spilled. That most hoped for of outcomes though, the thought comes to me just now, lies totally with the decisions the occupying tyrants make in the days and years ahead:

Whether the statists will intentionally continue to ignore the Constitution as inevitable rebel confrontation naturally increases, and whether the statists again choose to forcefully put down their deadly jackboots of tyranny once more upon American throats as inevitable rebel confrontation naturally increases...

...or whether the statists finally open their eyes to see the individual liberty-loving power arrayed directly against them as a friend to all freedom-loving human beings, and as an uncompromising fatal foe to them - a foe which has defeated and kicked out their statist brethren before, and is most able and willing to do it again.

If there be blood, grant blind tyrants be first to let.

There is obviously so much statism abounding around the globe today: Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the jihadis' invasion of Syria, Iraq, reaching now into Tunisia, Algiers, Egypt, Libya, and even into Afghanistan, where former Taliban are now pledging allegiance to the Islamic State; meanwhile, Communist China sits ever-patient and ultra silent, waiting for all the falls.

Does it not make even a lick of common sense that the statist lords occupying America today intentionally desire Americans to be looking fearfully elsewhere for danger, while actually creating much of that danger themselves so that Americans are deflected from realizing the much, much graver danger already ruling from within America itself?

Is it so difficult to see the statists in power over America today, involving themselves yesterday in the initial destabilization of Ukrainian government that Putin is now reacting to in statist kind? Did not the statists occupying America make possible the overthrow of the government of Libya, where jihadis now rule? Some of the same jihadis who then made their way with their captured weapons to Syria, where the USSA statists also seek to violently overthrow the legitimate government there? Some of the very same jihadis that American statists then deemed to arm, train, and support in that illegal cause? Some of the very same jihadis who then took their American statist training and arms and formed into the Islamic State, which the American statists are now conducting pseudo-war against, just to keep the entire statist-created chaos ball rolling?

Oh America, I cry for thee as I see your statist occupiers entwine you in their death and destruction traps all over the world.

Alas, there is also much hope, for gloriously good political news lies just ahead:

Soon comes the time for the collective charade currently infecting America to end, for statist sympathizers to face the overwhelming natural law power the unalienable love of individual liberty inherently spends, for progressives and RINOs and sunshine patriots to stand aside or be rendered asunder.

Hark!

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, — go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!

- Samuel Adams

Ron Paul: “Good News” That Secession Is Happening

“The good news is it’s gonna happen. It’s happening.”

Former Republican presidential candidate and congressman Ron Paul says secession is happening and it’s “good news.” Paul later predicted the states would stop listening to federal laws.

I would like to start off by talking about the subject and the subject is secession and, uh, nullification, the breaking up of government, and the good news is it’s gonna happen. It’s happening...

...Paul, the father of potential Republican presidential candidate Rand Paul, told a gathering at the libertarian Mises Institute in late January. The event Paul was speaking at was titled “Breaking Away: The Case for Secession.”

And it’s not gonna be because there will be enough people in the U.S. Congress to legislate it. It won’t happen. It will be de facto. You know, you’ll have a gold standard when the paper standard fails, and we’re getting awfully close to that. And people will have to resort to taking care of themselves. So when conditions break down, you know, there’s gonna be an alternative. And I think that’s what we’re witnessing.

...The Fed is gonna end. There is going to be a de facto secession movement going on. The states are going to refuse to listen to some of the laws. We’ve seen tremendous success already with states saying to the federal government, ‘We’re not gonna listen to you anymore about the drug laws.’ And they’re getting out of it, and I think the American people are waking up to that, and as far as I’m concerned, the more the merrier.”

Per wiki...

As of February 3, 2015, the United States has a total resident population of 320,274,540, making it the third-most populous country in the world.[1] It is very urbanized, with 81% residing in cities and suburbs as of 2014...

...As of 2011, about 250 million Americans live in or around urban areas. That means more than three-quarters of the U.S. population shares just about three percent of the U.S. land area.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_United_States

The Fall will be hardest felt in the cities and 'burbs, where 81% of Americans reside in maybe 5% of America's total land area...

...the other 19% of Americans already know how to live largely independently, living on the other 95% of American land.

What will the almost totally dependent, 275 million city slickers do when their statist structures collapse all around them...

...and how accommodating will the other 19% be when massive fleeing begins?

Me? If I lived in the big city now...

...I'd definitely be thinking of making some concrete, future reservations. And studying all I could about individual liberty.
