So there was some fall out to that sit-in we had just before the Easter wkend.
Some of the protestors weren’t even really UT students, they were ruckus-causers who siddled in with the crowd. Since I saw them carrying a video camera when they came in, I figured something would be posted, so here it is:
I think the UT police there were too nice, should started using some more necessary force but to each their own. Police brutality my arse, those damn kids really need a dose of reality, in many different ways.
So me and R went to Blue for a little bit today. I managed to escape from all the hubbub going on in ma crib. Was fun, got kinda cold. Enough snow so that we could still board, even now. Conditions weren’t the best though, a lot of ice and very granular snow.
And that’s it for another season ( I think). Took the board racks off anyways. But 5×7 pass put to good use. The new passes for 08-09 are up http://bluemountain.ca/season_pass_holder.htm The mountain biking passes are up too but unfortunately I gots no one to go with even if i bought one =(
Time to dust off the bike and get things rolling again.
Quite an interesting day yesterday, right before the Easter long weekend.
I get an email from the listserv that goes to everyone in my building saying we will be in lockdown mode start 1245 as there will be a student protest right outside. All the doors will be locked, you need your keys to get around etc. So I think fine, not a big deal.
A while later, I hear a lot of noise and thinking its coming from the outside, it sounded like a few hundred or thousand students protesting. I walk around to the front of the building and I’m quite surprised to 15-20 people running in yelling and waving banners with a video camera going. So much for our lockdown.
Anyways, around 330 I get another listserv saying that they’re kicking us out early. I ask around and find out that the protestors just aren’t leaving and causing a disturbance. I wanted to go upstairs and check out all commotion but the 5-0 said it wasn’t a good idea.
