re: KA at Tulane builds TRUMP wall. People get butthurt, football team tears it down

In other words, their arguments are complete bullshite.

After reading all this, I wonder if OweO and TexasTiger would be as lenient if a group of teenage boys ripped out all of the flowers and plants their wives made them plant last weekend. Would they just laugh it off because young people do dumb things?

Hey, what if a neighbor kid knocked down a section of your fence because, you know, they do shite like that. Hehe

Again, the reason the wall is built is to force the pledges to defend it. Other fraternities will tell their pledges they must destroy it.

If you have a neighborhood game where you play capture the flag with each other's lilies, it would be closer to your example.

Completely agree, but they weren't arguing from that position. They had no knowledge of that tradition.

If I lived next to a college campus I would expect shite like that to happen at some point.

That has a lot of differences, one being that was not physically at a fraternity house. Two, the subjects are totally different. Three, its Alabama this is Tulane.

I'm sure some of their pledges could pancake them. Its not like they play for LSU

Not sure if Tulane will be tolerant of that kind of political opinion or demonstration.

Yea, it's antisocial/non "pc" to have a fenced in backyard right? Or is it because you don't want everyone to have access to your stuff?

The tradition was to build the sandbag wall in front and a flagpole was erected behind the wall, for Old South week. The KA flag would be placed on the flagpole. Pledges would be tasked with 24 hour a day watch over the flag for the week, in shifts. Members of other fraternities and sororities --and many times, friends -- would plot to catch the pledges snoozing in the middle of the night, and steal the flag. It was pretty much good-natured fun. And I don't remember anything violent or anger-provoking happening.

I wouldn't wish any reprimanding to the football players who destroyed the wall. Except to be taught that, while their intentions may have heroic in their own minds, freedom of speech is one of the cornerstones of the college experience, and shouldn't be infringed upon just because it sometimes may not lean to the liberal left.

Peace and love from New Orleans.

The KAs need to rebuild that Wall and spray paint the Tulane Football players just paid for it!
