I hope ISU is proud of this student with no grasp of the English language. Maybe he’s aiming for a job in Illinois government:

Franson did send a pictures of people standing in front of the BCPA. They could have been taken at any of the frequent protests instead of the one pictured in the story.
Maybe the protestors left before the protest was over. That shows their commitment to the cause. Why did some protestors have “No Kings” signs at an ICE protest? Can’t keep the protests straight?
Exactly what land was stolen? Signs implied everyone is legal because the land was stolen. Of course history isn’t taught, especially the parts where we bought vast part of the country.
I wish everyone hated communists as much as I do. They ruin EVERY SINGLE THING they touch.
Why am I paying property taxes on stollen land?
For the life of me I don’t know why the IRS hasn’t raised the maximum number of dependents allowed up to at least 10,000.
There are a total of 5,000 “Communist” in the United States. Not exactly a threat. Why are you a grown women picking on a college student? Are you so bored and lacking material to write about, you have to pick on college students? Who cares if this guy is a Communist? And who cares what text he sent you.
Most of them are here or your number is way off
When you make a public opinion you are up for public scrutiny. College not teaching that either?
@Cate
I’ll bite. I pick on communists because I’ve been called a nazi far too many times by people who claim to be communists despite communism killing 10X more people than the 3rd Reich ever did. I will NOT be accused of being a genocidal maniac by people who claim to be genocidal maniacs.
To that end, every communist I hear of and see are disgusting pieces of trash to me who deserve far more than I will explain on someone else’s blog. And you can cry all you want about that, I really don’t care anymore. Communists are worthy of disgust, all day long.
I will never understand if a person thinks and believes that communism should be a way of life why in the world would they choose to stay in America? We red blooded Americans will never allow your kind to turn our country into a communist dictatorship. Do yourself and the rest of us a favor leave our country move to a communist country.
Enough said!
Diane, it appears you have rent free living in the minds of young Mr Franson and “Cate”.
Enjoy!
I don’t do that social media garbage but I think it’s a good guess that if the crowd was bigger at one point, the cock crowing anarchists would have posted them somewhere, even if they had to go the Durbin route and create them through the God forsaken AI.
When they attack you loudly while diminishing you and cursing, they have lost the debate.
Hang tough and keep up the good work Diane. There are multiple millions who stand beside you at the ready.
