Fragile crybabies ruin a celebration because they got triggered. Just don’t show up in the first place.

Seinfeld’s?
Yup. Literally 30 people walked out on Seinfeld out of 7000 grads in a giant football stadium. CNN, WSJ, etc covering it like it was breaking news.

The campus shenanigans at VCU, UVA, etc only will help Trump at the polls in November (which depresses me).
How? With whom? For what?
PP here. Look, I don’t have a problem here with their walking out. BUT I do think a lot of people are sick of the theatrics of these protests on college campuses and the chaos that ensued at other campuses (UCLA, Columbia, Harvard, etc) and feel like all the attention is being given to a small but very loud of minority of people. And it turns people off. They may be glad things were broken up at VCU, UVA, etc instead of becoming the next viral story.
And those people aren’t just a handful. People please wake up!!!! I don’t want a republican governor nor Trump as president. But people have their head in the sand if they think this stuff does anything positive and if they think super progressive democrats are the majority.
People said the exact same things about the civil rights protests.
How do you think Nixon got elected? Wake up.
How do you think the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the Fair Housing Act of 1968 happened? They happened because of the civil rights protests.

Why were they protesting? You can Google this.
Don’t you wish we had the ability to find out if these protesters VOTED in the last election? No. I'm more interested in whether they vote in the next election.

+1. I'm not sure what they were protesting. But they didn't disturb anyone else. There was no yelling and graduation went on for those that remained in the room.
