Look how at least one black girl is riled up by the Trayvon Martin shooting

This YouTube video demonstrates how race-mongers like Al Sharpton have successfully riled up the blacks over the Trayvon Martin shooting.

If you watch the video to the end, you will see the black girl assault the white guy who tells her to leave.

According to an accompanying article, she was eventually tasered by Florida Atlantic “University” police.

This video also demonstrates why you don’t want to go to a bogus school like that. Whenever you read some stupid blog post recommending how you can save money by having your kid attend a community college for two years before transferring to a four-year college, you should tell the blogger to watch the video so he can see the quality of classmates at that type of school.

With this kind of anger among blacks, will they ever accept the truth of self defense, or will they riot?

"With this kind of anger among blacks, will they ever accept the truth of self defense, or will they riot?"

I've been predicting riots this summer since last fall. I've been suspicious about all this OWS stuff. With the unemployment rate, gas prices, etc I figured that it was merely an attempt to get in front of the frustration and channel the anger away from themselves.

That video went viral before the Zimmerman-Martin case became widely known.

The security guy indeed showed remarkable restraint when the crazy girl pushed him, but chances are his job sets some boundaries on what he can and cannot do. He probably *wanted* to get her onto the ground in a chokehold, but wasn't allowed to.

Who gives a crap about the quality of the classmates? I'd rather have dumb classmates so I would look even smarter. What kind if elitist snob would blow tens if thousands of dollars just for better classmates?

Got to rile up Obama voters to get them to forget that Obama hasn't done a thing to help them and have them so emotionally charged that they will turn out to vote against anyone normal.

Evidently, FAU isn't that bad of a school. Looking at its admissions stats, it's about as competitive as Temple U. in Philly.

Probably the later.

I hope you have your camera ready near Harlem when Zimmerman is either found not guilty or the charges are dropped.

Muwhahaha!

"a community college for two years before transferring to a four-year college, you should tell the blogger to watch the video so he can see the quality of classmates at that type of school."

It makes sense if you want to save two years of tuition at a more expensive public or private school by knocking off gened reqs at a local college.

Of course, if there were a 60 credit degree there would be no need to even go to the community college because undergrads would be able to graduate faster with less debt....

[SparksPhilly]

Florida Atlantic University IS a four-year college, with masters programs no less.

By Holy Darwin's beard, imagine what Trayvon could have accomplished if he had lived and been taught Topology by a Michell Pfeifer lookalike at MIT.

All of those Venture Capital firms, Nobel Prizes, Chopin piano recitals will never come into existence now.

Try learning in a class full of idiots. Having to stop every five minutes because someone doesn't understand, instead of rapidly progressing through stuff or going furthre into detail.

GL piggy covered this about 4 days ago. The chick in that video had been bipolar since 13 and was at the start of another manic episode.

This is going downhill fast. It's now front page news on CNN, as 'protests go coast to coast'

What happened to the 'news' about Romney being a millionaire, Newt's mistresses and Ron Paul's antisemitism ? Now a teenager's crime has taken center stage.

It looks like race may end up playing a role in the presidential election.

And as UJ points out, you better start booking flights to Portland by the time Zimmerman verdict comes in. LA, NY and ATL probably aren't wise cities to be in when the riots begin.

I'm tired of running. If I'm shot at, I'm going to shoot back. If some negro pulls a knife, I'm pulling a gun. If some of these dark folks show up with a gas can and matches, they are going to catch lead.

This is a very bad mindset to have. Success in life requires one to constantly challenge themselves. My sister's best friend was valedictorian in high school. Rather than go an elite school she chose some state college. Her family while not rich is well off. My sister suspects her decision was driven by a need to feel smarter than everyone else where as at an elite school she'd be nothing special. Why does this matter? Well a person becomes complacent and starts to think they shit gold. After bombing the LSAT (relatively speaking) this female prodigy is now attending a low ranked law school where as my sister made it into the T-14.

"You become who you are around." - asdf

Precisely. I've seen so many talented kids go nowhere in life because their family/friends/environment was prole. Some of them could have reached the stars instead they got pregnant, became drug addicts, or just settled into a life of mediocrity.

UF and FSU are the only schools in the state university system that people here take with any seriousness. (not that anyone will ever mistake Tallahassee or Gainesville for Cambridge, MA or New Haven, CT)

And oh my, do not get me started on the law school. I think Florida is in competition with California for most toilet bowl law schools.

Crop,

If you are not a STEM major, you can learn critical thinking skills, the literary canon, history, etc. quite easily from books and the internet. So there are really only two reasons to spend money to go to college:

1. Signalling your status to employers and potential sexual partners

2. Building a network of succesful peers

You will accomplish neither goal by going to a school full of dolts and NAMs.

If you are a STEM major, you want smart class-mates who will challenge you, since presumably you are actually trying to learn something. Again, surrounding yourself with idiots, as Dr. Doak points out, will just frustrate you. There is no scenario where going to school with idiots so you can feel smart for a few years will pay you any long term dividend.

[Mark Caplan]

Did the gun-industry lobbyists who run the National "Rifle" Association foresee that the laws they lobbied relentlessly for -- the concealed handgun laws and the stand your ground laws -- would instigate race riots, which in turn would lead to an explosion of gun sales and the election of more tough-on-crime, gun-hugging Republicans?

The NRA must be close to breaking out the champagne over the Trayvon Martin shooting. Mission nearly accomplished.

[eggwhite]

By the way, will the New Black Panthers be arrested for the illegal bounty they issued for George Zimmerman? Will there even be calls for their arrest? Or do we just assume blacks are so lacking in self-control (like the girl in this video) that we shrug when they call for violence?

I get the feeling that black people may be about to lose the special status they've held that let them be immune to normal moral judgment.

[eggwhite]

And so she was furious over evolution? If this is true, the official acceptance of group differences will be met with absolute rage. What professor will want to teach it?

[superdestroyer]

Florida Atlantic University has a four year graduation rate of 16%. 25% of the freshmen do not bother to come back for their second year.

http://collegeresults.org/collegeprofile.aspx?institutionid=133669

FAU is close to being a failure factory.

[Conquistador]

@ superdestroyer

The majority of community college students never transfer either. This is why it's important to enroll in the right school so you have the motivation and quality peer network to keep at it.

[superdestroyer]

Conquisator,

FAU is a four year university and similar to the University of Memphis and UNLV.

Please check out the link provided above.

[not too late]

LOL,

FAU has 33% over 25 years old! And only 16% graduation rate after 4 years.

Losers with a capital L.

I bet it is easy for any real student to earn a 4.0 in that environment.

[rjp]

This video also demonstrates why you don’t want to go to a bogus school like that.

Being a JuCo or a state school doesn't make it a bad school, being too black however does.

It seems like a higher-ranked Cal State, but I think most people here would consider that a "toilet".

[null]

"After bombing the LSAT (relatively speaking)"

I don't understand how LSAT performance is affected by the environment of one's undergraduate institution.

[Trumwill]

What's interesting about FAU is that it has a good amount of selectivity. Only 35% (Collegeboard.org) or 51% (USNWR) of those who apply get in and an mid-50 SAT (minus writing) range of 980-1150 (Collegeboard), which isn't terrible. Those drop-out rates are pretty significant, though.

On the other hand, the graduation rates are problematic. According to USNWR, though, it has an average 6-year graduation rate of 42%, which places it as "medium".

On the face of it, it doesn't look like a stellar school, but not one that I would pick as an example of a particularly bad college that it would be the end of the world if you went to. Especially if you worked it to get into their honors college or equivalent.

The statistics on Cal State Long Beach are similar, but no one will deem it as a "selective school" in the vernacular sense. CSULB has been more selective due to the state's budget woes.

[lil mike]

Although the video doesn't directly have anything to do with the Zimmerman-Martin matter, things ARE getting tense all over. A buddy of mine in Afghanistan emailed back about a fight between two US civilians on one of the military bases; a government employee and a civilian contractor, one white, one black, over the Trayvon Martin case.

If we're fighting about this in Afghanistan I imagine there are shouting matches and fistfights in office cubicles all over the country.

[HS: No one has mentioned this case where I sometimes work.]

[Trumwill]

//The statistics on Cal State Long Beach are similar, but no one will deem it as a "selective school" in the vernacular sense. CSULB has been more selective due to the state's budget woes. //

CSULB appears to be among the more select Cal State institutions. Anyhow, my point was not that FAU is super-duper selective, but that it does turn away a lot of people that want to go there. It's not an open enrollment or nearly so. Combine that with the sheer size of the school*, and I see nothing about the school that suggests you should fear going there.

It is unfortunate, though, how much the school's name makes it sound like a for-profit vocational school.

* - It's majority-white, for those who care.

The most lucrative employment in California is working for the state. CSU Sacramento can put you on that career track.

"It's all about culture. If you're at a school where the weekend begins on Wednesday you're gonna pick up a lot of bad habits. "

I thought the LSAT is highly g-loaded, and that would not be affected by one's bad habits. Perhaps it is only g-loaded when one undergoes preparation that other LSAT takers do in order to be competitive on the test.

She got in the 90 percentile, certainly not enough for HYS.

[destructure]

"I don't understand how LSAT performance is affected by the environment of one's undergraduate institution." - null

If you go to school with lazy, stupid people you can slack off and still do well. But if you go to school with hardworking, smart people then the professors demand more and you either work hard or fail. If you work hard then you learn more.

[null]

Again, my remarks concern the LSAT, a g-loaded test. Most psychometrians believe that g is not significantly correlated with conscientiousness. I was asking why she bombed the LSAT, not why here grades were (supposedly) not high enough to enter a T-14 law school.

[Conquistador]

Her father is an engineer for Lockheed Martin and her mother is a college instructor. I don't know why she performed poorly on the LSAT. My suspicion is she didn't prepare for it because she was top of her class at Hickory high school and later podunk state university. Again it's about laziness and complacency.

[null]

That still doesn't explain it. If she was at the top of her class with an IQ of 130, then she must work hard since she has to beat 140 IQ slackers and 120 IQ people who work just as hard as she does. If she has an IQ of 160, she probably doesn't have to work as hard. In the former case, where she has an IQ of 130, she would still retain her values of hard work, since it is both her work ethic and intelligence that enabled her to be at the top of her class. In the latter case, she doesn't need to study to score in the 98th percentile of the LSAT because she is not just smart (as in possessing an IQ of 130), she would be fucking smart.
