In some ways I agree with you. But looking forward, who do you think is going to pay a higher price for their actions, this Ole Miss frat guy, or some of the people unmasked who made hate filled remarks, supported a terrorist organization, as well as destroyed property and disrupted classes at colleges? It's like when the bot guy who posts here constantly about Jan 6. Yes that should be condemned as well. But those folks are serving pretty lengthy jail sentences, they are paying for their crimes. This guy certainly made a mistake and got carried away in a moment, and he is going to pay for it even if outside the legal system. But he didn't actively plan to go spend several nights in an encampment, continually support a terror organization and repeatedly make hate filled remarks. Yet I'm willing to bet you that he is to pay a much higher price for his actions.

Yeah, as someone who spends a fair amount of time on SEC campuses I'm going to go out on a limb and say these protests that they try to fire up on them are probably going to be met with some pretty nasty opposition. Some of it is going to go too far in the rhetoric for sure. But I don't think the pro Hamas wing is going to find the land too hospitable around here.

I'd also add, if you find a good property manager, don't walk over a 1% cheaper fee elsewhere. Because I have mine spread out, I have three separate managers. The local one failed to properly check a tenant they let move in to one of my houses about 2 years ago, we had to evict that tenant and when we finally got in there she had done over $10,000 in damage to a small 3/2. If you find one who is diligent, it's well worth it. Especially in college towns, you can find companies who do this full time and if you ever have a need for the sheriff to handle anything they usually are well connected and have relationships.

I had a buddy who has rentals and is also a realtor get me my first agreement. I managed it myself for two years to learn the ins and outs, figure out what legit expenses there would be, then hired a property manager after that. It's a large headache unless you are in the business full time and have time on your hands to go out and do small repairs or let repairmen in, etc.

Is it an actual woman, you know, one with two x chromosomes?

Keep up the good work! When I started my second job of my career back in 1998 there was a guy who started the week after me where we had a discussion once in a conference room about lifetime financial goals. We are the best of friends now even as we live in far ends of the country from each other, still bounce our business ideas and investments off each other, etc. Back then, the initial goal was $1MM. After that, it was levels of wealth. The next step up in lifestyle was at $2MM, $5MM, $10MM, $20MM. I still look at those goals and adjust for inflation. Yeah we shot high for 24-25 year olds. Getting to that $1MM is always special, congrats on getting to double that! It truly gives you a sense of security and freedom in life.

I'd be intrigued as to who determined they were wrongfully arrested. I'm pretty good friends with a bail bondsman. Usually people don't have time to have charges investigated when they try to make bail from my experience in being around him when that phone rings. From my recollection of those events, I'd be interested to see where police had the spare time and manpower to arrest people who weren't actively causing problems. But when it comes to bail, especially on anything of scale, how is anyone to know that rapidly beyond just taking someone's word for it?

Case in point

Unfortunately it doesn't take radicalizing very many of these outcasts to take action that could cause a much bigger issue. The problem doesn't stop with just racist or Marxist ideologies, it goes further when Hamas is glorified with the chanting etc. When do some of them decide to take Hamas type actions? Everyone on the right wants to point fingers at the faculty, and I agree there are a lot of issues there. But where are these kids parents? I remember my first semester at college being in a sociology class and thinking my professor was a damn kook when he blamed three criminals poor upbringing on why they raped a woman and why they were less accountable because of that fact. Those values are instilled by parents. Just because some faculty member stated something as fact, it was pretty obvious to me that was just his opinion, one I didn't agree with. So while if I saw my kid out in one of these things I'd go down there and grab them up, it's pretty obvious the parents in many of these cases were asleep at the wheel, don't care, or share some of these looney views.

Try going into your nearest library and spray paint a few walls and break out a few windows. Compare the charges you will get to the ones you're going to see for these folks.

A bunch of misfits with no place to belong and no prospects who have been used to find a place to belong by Marxists and Islamists.

I was wondering when groups were going to have had enough. It’s easy to intimidate, harass, and bully people when you’re a group and singling individuals out. When you come back with a group in response it’s a little different.

God bless the SEC, these are some homely people on campus

Same cast of characters and with same goals. They just move on to the next victim/oppressed group.

Here's some video of the damn police instigating again at UNC.

Zero interest ruined it, from the jump

And here's their fearless leader, more Marxists

I'm not one to judge. I've logged more hours in Vicksburg MS than anywhere else. When I was fresh out of college my first job was in Jackson MS. Vicksburg was 1 hour door to door from my apartment. There were nights I'd go gamble til 2-3 AM, drive home, then sleep 2-3 hours and go to work. I usually focused hard on the cards but one time I looked around the casino there at 2 AM on a weeknight, boy it was depressing to see the folks who were there. I didn't pull that shift very often. I had a bad habit of gambling hard on football, losing a bunch, then going and counting cards on a late Saturday night to get it back. If I'd only had the sense to not gamble on football and just invest the money from counting.

The administration at places like Columbia are to blame for this. Had they dealt with this earlier they wouldn't be in this spot now. Now the protestors have no reason to believe any of their threats, I know I sure wouldn't. They obviously feel they can do whatever they want and these administrations will yield to them. So far they are correct.

Interesting. Never been to AC, lots of Vegas trips and MS casinos. Used to hit a few wherever I was when traveling for work. I did hear at some point AC was struggling pretty badly so they were looser with rules to try and gain customer share.

Check out these winners from the University of Florida lock up. I wouldn't even trust one of these to wash my car https://thebradentontimes.com/stories/police-make-first-arrests-in-florida-of-pro-palestinian-protesters-at-two-university-campuses,85883

Finding surrender tables is exceedingly rare these days. You have to find some uncommonly liberal rules to allow it. Years ago I can remember Harrahs on the Vegas strip allowed it but it was extremely uncommon even then. Maybe downtown or off strip properties out there. Even where I cut my teeth counting in Mississippi there were no casinos anywhere there who allowed it. When I first started in the late 90s though you could find dealer stand on soft 17 there.

I don't support what she did, but I'd let Michael Vick move in beside me before someone who is obviously mentally ill. Besides, I bet Gov. Noem is a hell of a good time if she chooses the house beside me with the pool.

I must be missing it in the first video, I don't see anything. In the bottom one, isn't that one being arrested at the front the professor who admitted she struck an officer prior to her arrest? There is an Emory faculty member who had video published of her arrest who admitted to that. I'm not sure what the expected outcome is once you do that other than being arrested in a fairly aggressive manner. I do know in the Emory situation the orders to disperse were ignored. I'm not sure what the police were supposed to do when they didn't comply other than arrest people. When you resist arrest, force is used. I don't see anything there that bothers me.

There's lots of videos of all these interactions. We both know everyone there has cell phones and are videoing everything from chanting to a bird taking a crap on the nearby park bench. You should have adequate footage if this was occurring, especially "a lot of the times".
