[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pretty crazy that the "victim" they decided to take a stand for was a guy who tried to steal wine and then beat up the owner... WTF?

Good for this business and shame on Oberlin.

Absolutely.  In fact, I get more incensed about the idiots on the liberal side because they make it much harder for the rest of us to garner support for common-sense liberal policies.  [/quote]

This. And Oberlin STILL stands by its 
egregious behavior towards its neighbors.

Agreed.  I would have more sympathy if they were truly supporting the student.  But, this student has admitted that the behavior by the business was not racially based, but an attempt to prevent underaged purchase of alcohol.  If Oberlin said that they were mislead by the student or that they were mistaken and showed any form of contrition, it would be understandable and would not reflect badly on the college.  But in this instance, the perpetrator has admitted that the public harassment of the business was ill-conceived and rather than apologizing, the college has doubled down on their error.  Sorry, but this is as bad as a someone racial profiling and refusing to admit to doing so even in light of damning evidence.  [/quote]
