Pitt Students 'In Tears' and Feeling 'Unsafe' After Milo Yiannopoulos Event
2016-03-04
The University of Pittsburgh's Student Government Board held a public meeting on Tuesday to discuss the traumatizing visit the night before from "dangerous" homosexual and Breitbart Tech Editor Milo Yiannopoulos, during which students described themselves as feeling "hurt" and "unsafe."
I'm really starting to like this guy, and this is all I know about him.
He just might be the legitimate successor to Breitbart...
"During his talk, Yiannopoulos called students who believe in a gender wage gap 'idiots,' declared the Black Lives Matter movement a 'supremacy' group, while feminists are 'man-haters,'" according to the student paper The Pitt News, prompting a handful of twenty-something-year olds to feel upset.

"Just because we have to be neutral with our funding doesn't mean we're personally neutral," announced board member Jack Heidecker at the meeting. "I hurt yesterday, too."
Apparently you haven't been in the real world.
"So many of us shared in our pain. I felt I was in danger, and I felt so many people in that room were in danger," proclaimed Marcus Robinson, student and president of the Pittsburgh Rainbow Alliance. Robinson also suggested that councilors should have been provided in another room to protect students who felt "traumatized" by Yiannopoulos's opinions.
If you feel in danger and collapse like cooked spaghetti, you will not last long once the barbarians come pouring over the borders.
This is more than hurt feelings, this is about real violence. We know that the violence against marginalized groups happens every day in this country," claimed social work and urban studies major Claire Matway. "That so many people walked out of that [event] feeling in literal physical danger is not alright."
Bitch... that ain't real danger. Come stand in front of me and say that shit again. You'll fucking know real danger you worthless piece of shit.
I just want to know why highly educated university students-cum-journalists thought it was acceptable to spell all right as alright, and why their even more highly educated editors, both student and advisory, concurred.
President of the College Republicans and fellow student Tim Nerozzi responded to the complaints by proclaiming, "I'm not here to rain on your parade. We put a trigger warning on our fliers for the event. We never claimed it would be a family friendly or a politically correct lecture."

"I do realize that some people were genuinely hurt, and I'm not going to ignore that, but free speech should not trump safety," he said. "We need to see the school work around that."
Sith release to the university: "WHAAAAAAA"

You are all pathetic and not worthy of the men and women that came before you.

Also, any gay man that can bring an entire university to tears and make them quiver like jello is fucking awesome in my book. Well done sir.

#11  I like Milo, he's a quick wit and although white, he is a gay brit so it's nearly impossible for the SJW to use their typical shame-based arguments against him.

#10  We used to say: "Tough Titty said the Kitty but the milk's all gone!" (1)

Separate rooms with councilors to kiss your emotional boo-boo? my 3-year-old has more backbone.

(1) - no, I'm not that sure what it means either.

#9  Naw, they'd do anything the drill instructor told them to do as long as they got a participation trophy for it.

#8  More like the goo after the godless commissars beat them into the killing zones. Remember it's all for the equity of outcome, not just the power of the Inner Party.

(do I need to put a /sarc on that?)

#7  Oh, my - if they get all quivvery-lipped and tearful because of a comedian, I can't wait to see what would happen if they ever had a military drill instructor yell at them for about twenty minutes.
A spreading puddle of goo on the floor is my bet.

#5  Would you hire a recent college grad who wasn't in the STEM fields? I mean, "you spend more time in HR than at your desk!"

#4  They all expressed their hurt feelings but none of them disputed or challenged Milo's assessment of the leftist causes so popular on campus.

#3  Gender Studies?

Ethnic Studies?

A major in being butt hurt over everything?

Geez, I suppose they would cry at a Bugs Bunny cartoon.

#2  "Apparently you haven't been in the real world."
I suspect that a lot of these young "adults" have found a comfortable environment on campus and it their intention to never leave for the real world
