You must be an idiot from University of Idaho or Western State University College of Law. If you have affiliations with both, may God help you.

I graduated from there in 1987. What's amazing to me is that this writer uses a lot of hyperbole and assumes some facts — but making something sensational often requires that kind of writing. My experience back then was that it was undergrads coming into the building who did this sort of silliness. They were mainly religious zealots and homophobes although there were incidents of liberal extremists as well. The student body requested better access control but the administration didn't like that so things continued every so often depending on the season. I'm not surprised the current administration didn't have the sense to spend a few dollars to get some hallway security cameras up. Evidence obtained, convictions sought, problem solved.

What? I post a comment as an actual Mormon U of I grad and it gets deleted? Apparently ATL only wants commentary from people who have no actual insight or experience.

I check this board maybe once a month, but I’m always surprised to see the level of hatred and ignorance out there from those who defend hate speech against gays. Sure there’s a constitutional right to disseminate some form of hateful speech, but that doesn’t make it right or good for society (and indeed, if it incites violence, it may not even be legal).
What if it had been push-pins in the eyes of black or hispanic students (also largely despised minorities in Idaho)? Or Jews? Would you blame those groups there as well rather than the people who are defacing their photos? To infer that this incident means that a minority is somehow responsible for inciting violence against them is a dangerous position.
Let’s stop blaming the victim, and focus on respecting the rights of others to maximize their full potential, whether gay or straight.

The biggest hate-mongers at UC Berkeley School of Law were and probably still are the homosexual advocacy groups. They protested during classes, defaced bulletin boards, harrassed the JAG recruiters, etc. Why no media love/hate for them?

This is ridiculous. The school and Elie are giving these idiots exactly what they want, which is attention. And I wouldn’t hold my breath on seeing them kicked out. After all, SIU gave Matt Hale a degree.

Guys in my high school used to deface posters all the time. It was no big deal.

@140 Shh! You know how much liberals hate reality! You’re going to confuse them with facts.

just think — all of the energy of writing this post, the comments, and all the effort of the school and law enforcement could have been avoided with one of those boards COVERED IN PLEXIGLASS WITH A KEY LOCK — come on people — stop chasing problems and think ahead to prevent them

What percentage of these have turned out to be hoaxes? 99.99%? Or is it only 95%?
