| University of VT Flies ‘Black Lives Matter' Flag Beside American Flag on Campus |
| 2016-09-24 |
| [GP] The University of Vermont this week flew the "Black Lives Matter" terrorist flag beside the American flag on campus. This is what they are teaching America’s children today on college campuses‐That a terrorist flag is to be respected and the American flag is to be disrespected. Campus Reform reported: The University of Vermont’s Burlington campus is flying a Black Lives Matter flag alongside both the American and state flags. Several students from the school took to social media to express their support for the move, with some saying the school is "winning for this" and another noting that since the school is supportive of the movement, "we should be too." One local news outlet is reporting that the flag is being sponsored by the school’s Student Government Association (SGA), whose president called the move a way to "show symbolic support for our community." |

| #11 They have Vermont values. Not Vermont values, Hemingway. The values of those further south, who came up for the fall leaf peeping and just wouldn't leave. |

| #10 Well, when they started their "anti-zionism" on campus, we warned you that "first they come for the Jews". But did you listen? |

| #9 Don't forget.. The 'victims' were thugs with a long criminal history including resisting arrest, weapons violations, etc... They were not members of the local choir as the media would have you think... The 'victims' were armed (if only with their fists), or attempting to take the officer's gun to become 'armed'. |

| #8 Yes, shooting at police is a felony, and felons are not supposed to own firearms. Report: Charlotte’s Keith Scott Had History of Violence Including Arrest for Shooting At Police… Posted on September 22, 2016 by sundance According to a story in The Christian Times, who they claim verified with The Charlotte Observer, Keith Lamont Scott had a two decades long history of gun violence, including an arrest/conviction for shooting at police officers in Texas. The New York Times has previously reported on his troubled past but not the 2005 shooting at police incident: (Via NYT) […] According to court records, Mr. Scott was born in South Carolina, was about six feet tall and weighed 230 to 250 pounds. While living in South Carolina in the 1990s, he was charged with a number of offenses including check fraud, aggravated assault and carrying a concealed weapon. Later, he moved to Texas where he shot and wounded a man in San Antonio in 2002, for which he was convicted and sentenced, in 2005, to seven years in prison. He was released in 2011. (link) The Charlotte Observer also reported on Scott’s extensive criminal career –SEE HERE– and we did independently identify a criminal record in Texas – SEE HERE – which aligns with all of these reports.

| #7 Nearly all of these police incidents or shootings have a couple of common denominators. 'Failure to follow police instructions and/or resisting arrest.' My sympathy meter is pegged on zero. |
