Mizzou Protesters Complain About Paris Shooting Stealing ‘Spotlight.' Your reaction?

2015-11-16T13:27:19-05:00

I must have missed something, when Paris was attacked and innocent lives were taken. I mean what could be more important than The Protesters having their spotlight taken from them by the massacre in Paris? I think they are doing a poor job on the hunger...they need to ramp it up. Personally, if you don't like what is happening at your school...withdraw and move.

I am absolutely sure that the parents of these fine upstanding citizens are proud.

This is absolutely disgusting. How do you think that innocent people being gunned down in cold blood or blown up by suicide bombers is less important than your dumb ass attempt to get attention?

Mizzou protesters aren’t pleased with all of the news coverage highlighting the Paris shooting. Despite the Islamic State’s terrorist attack, which claimed the lives of 129 people and left 352 injured in Paris, Mizzou protesters and Black Lives Matter activists insist the mass shooting has garnered so much coverage in an effort to overshadow the confusion that recently occurred at the University of Missouri.

According to Breitbart, angry Mizzou protesters and Black Lives Matter activists have taken to Twitter with their sentiments of the Paris shooting, and surprisingly, there are many perspectives but most lead to the same conclusion. Although activists and supporters sympathize with those who were killed during the Paris shooting, they still don’t feel the situation should overshadow the racially-charged problems currently plaguing America. For some, the heartless animosity stemmed from the mass college shooting that took place in Kenya earlier this year.

New York Daily News journalist Shaun King cited that although the incidents are similar, the Paris shooting has been widely publicized and the Kenya shooting went internationally unreported by media outlets, which is why some Mizzou protesters aren’t sympathetic. Then, there are others who have argued that the situations in Paris and Missouri are equally tragic, which has also sparked a heated debate. In a nutshell, many supporters of Mizzou and Black Lives Matter have very little sympathy for the lives lost in Paris.

Here are some of the tweets:

The angry tweets and frustration over the Paris shooting “spotlight” comes just days after Timothy Michael Wolfe, former president of the University of Missouri system, resigned following allegations of racism. By now, many Americans are probably well aware of the Mizzou incident that led to all of the confusion at the University of Missouri. But, for those who haven’t heard about the incident, here’s the gist of it.

According to NBC News, earlier this week racial tension peaked at the university when Wolfe became the center of controversy after his alleged failure to address a number of racially-charged attacks plaguing black students at the university. Wolfe faced criticism from a variety of student groups after he allegedly ignored the concerns of students who had been subjected to racism by other students who allegedly spewed racial epithets toward minority student leaders. However, that’s not all.

Before the Paris shooting, there was a Mizzou incident that caused the university’s racial problems to peak. Back in October, it was discovered that feces were used to draw a swastika on campus. The horrific act led to more opposition, segregation and, condemnation from black and Jewish student organizations since Wolfe allegedly failed to do anything to reprimand the students involved or rectify the situation, according to CNN.

As a result, the campus became visibly divided and students began protesting. Even football players went on strike, refusing to participate in practices and sporting events until the situation was addressed. The overwhelming complaints and protesting led to Wolfe’s resignation.

Do you think Mizzou protesters are inconsiderate of the Paris shooting? Share your thoughts.

SSG Keith Cashion Well they just completely wrecked the BlackLivesMatter campaign. The sad thing is they'll never understand the damage they did to their own cause with this. Absolutely zero credibility now.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again now: every time an incident like this happens and that movement's leadership fails to speak out and address issues like this, they lose credibility.

Such a shame that their 15 minutes in the spotlight was cut short... It was so thoughtless of those terrorists to infringe on their cause! I am sure that once international terrorism is eliminated on a global scale, they will be more than set to champion their selfish cause to a further end...

Yes, evidently they seem to be (though I understand they did suspend their activities for the Football Game). It seems the horrific attacks in Paris trumped their efforts, evidently showing them, perhaps for the first time, that it really isn't all about them after all.

It is tax of visibility in social pyramids (by visibility)
The scenes in social networks can bring feelings of beings are lost when you became worthless.

A small awards of small effort is how protect people in good shape.

But if this happens like there, then we are struggling with the Consequences of the human ego or groups in networks, that they are erased

but it is OTHERWISE

the school failed, they dont understand how make people with value !

This is the latest shift in liberalism that permeates academic institutions. Educators are now embracing indoctrination rather than education. This is a natural trend as professors more toward the far left. They always seem to embrace diversity that is outside of their peers - Today, surveys indicate that somewhere between 50 and 60 percent of American college and university faculty members are in the broadly liberal camp, as compared to about 20 percent of American adults overall.

Where is the concern about political diversity on campuses? That's what makes liberals impossible to deal with - double standards.

Given the Poor explanation of the war by the National Command Authority....NO ! Until the American public gets on board, elects someone who understands the threat and gives them a congress that will stand behind them, it will be no more successful than the war on poverty or the war on drugs.

I just think that the kids at Mizzou are all spoiled rich kids and brats to the end. They will never get a job so no problem, the voices will fade away as they become homeless, or move back with "Mommy & Daddy".

My initial reaction to the Mizzou protests was that the next generation is overly sensitive and too easily offended. My daughter's latest Odyssey at Longwood University article reminds me that I have the advantage of working in one of the earliest integrated institutions in the U.S., that our Soldiers receive equal opportunity and sexual harassment prevention training almost on their first day of entering the military, and refresher training annually. 27 years of such training has made me assume that all in our U.S. society are equally as informed, and cognizant of appropriate behavior. Regrettably, that isn't the case, and these students are courageous for demanding that their peers and faculty treat them with dignity and respect. As I used to regularly tell my Soldiers, "The Golden Rule is in affect."

As this is put before me again... I got to thinking if the parents maybe watching news on tv be wondering if johnnie or Melissa be participating in protests.. maybe they could call the bank on Monday or next day if possible and freeze the kids account until The son or daughter can prove they weren't partaking in the mischief.. that should bring them around..
