Bad stuff. There's typically a few folks who get hurt at Mardi Gras around here, usually someone falling off a float or crossing a police barricade and getting stepped on by a horse.... wkrg.com/2017/02/28/breaking-car-drives-into-crowd-at-gulf-shores-parade/According to a city spokesperson, a late model SUV driven by a 73-year-old male from Fairhope struck the Gulf Shores Marching Band at the start of the parade.
12 bandmembers were struck by the SUV and four of the victims are in critical condition.
It is unknown whether alcohol or drugs played a factor, but authorities do not expect criminal intent. The driver and the vehicle are in police custody. Charges could be filed against the driver, but at this time, police have not made that determination.
The victims range in age from 12 to 17. Nine patients were transported to South Baldwin Medical Center in Foley, two were transported to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola and one other victim was transported to Baptist Hospital in northwest Florida. |

Yeah, I don't see that gaining much traction at a school like Clemson, or any other southern land-grant university. What a bunch childish assholes. |

I'd pay real money to see one of those punks in black try to punch an Agger. I know a few who went to Auburn, and those boys will throw down at the drop of a hat.  |

Middlebury Professor and Speaker Assaulted By Protesters In Latest Attack On Free Speech On U.S. Campuses
jonathanturley.org/2017/03/04/middlebury-professor-and-speaker-assaulted-by-protesters-in-latest-attack-on-free-speech-on-u-s-campuses/
We have been discussing the rising intolerance and violence on college campuses, particularly against conservative speakers. The latest such example can be found at Middlebury College where Professor Allison Stanger was assaulted by protesters and injured after she merely accompanied a controversial speaker to campus. It was a disgraceful but increasingly common scene on our campuses as students fought to prevent others from hearing opposing views or speakers.
Stanger was accompanying Charles Murray, a political scientist and author of the controversial “The Bell Curve” ( asserted that different races has different intelligence levels). Protesters succeeded in preventing his speaking at the original location on campus and he was moved to another location for a closed circuit broadcast. However, when Stanger, Murray and a college administrator left McCullough Student Center after the event, they were “physically and violently confronted by a group of protestors,” according to Bill Burger, the college’s vice president for communications and marketing.
The three retreated to an administrator’s car but Burger said “The protestors then violently set upon the car, rocking it, pounding on it, jumping on and try to prevent it from leaving campus. At one point a large traffic sign was thrown in front of the car. . . . During this confrontation outside McCullough, one of the demonstrators pulled Prof. Stanger’s hair and twisted her neck . . . She was attended to at Porter Hospital later and (on Friday) is wearing a neck brace.”
There is no indication however of a single arrest or a single disciplinary action against the protesters. The College president admitted that some of those responsible were students and yet there was no effort to punish those responsible for silencing free speech or violently attacking the speaker and faculty member.
