YouTube - Students Protest at General Petraeus Address
The "USA USA USA" chanting almost made me vomit at @1:00
"Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break in pieces."-Étienne de La Boétie
Nice
"He's talkin' to his gut like it's a person!!" -me
"dumpster diving isn't professional." - angelatc
"You don't need a medical degree to spot obvious bullshit, that's actually a separate skill." -Scott Adams
"When you are divided, and angry, and controlled, you target those 'different' from you, not those responsible [controllers]" -Q
"Each of us must choose which course of action we should take: education, conventional political action, or even peaceful civil disobedience to bring about necessary changes. But let it not be said that we did nothing." - Ron Paul
"Paul said "the wave of the future" is a coalition of anti-authoritarian progressive Democrats and libertarian Republicans in Congress opposed to domestic surveillance, opposed to starting new wars and in favor of ending the so-called War on Drugs."
These students are awesome!
Nvm some speech there was retarded and emotional. Social justice? Continuously bringing up the university in some kind of reverence? Gah.

(Good for them)
Agreed.
Although I don't necessarily agree with the tactic, that was encouraging.
In the end, it's never what you worry about that gets you.
So many strategically placed students, never seen protests timed like this.
EDIT:
Following the youtube link, came across this another student interruptions at UC Irvine today of Israeli ambassodor. 11 students arrested there, lot of agitation. What are the chances of such similar protests on same day:
