    The number of “100% native” people in the U.S. is likely 0. The idea of people leaving if they weren’t from here goes back forever, everywhere. Eventually it’s just a debate of if we are all from Africa or not.

    “Go back to being a neanderthal dweeb!”

    … Sadly, acceptance and growth are harder than resentment. And most of the time we resent the wrong people.



















  • Acceptance rate:

    UC San Fran: 13%

    UC Santa Barbara: 28%

    UC Merced: 88%

    They are completely different schools. So it would be hard to get a perspective by just the numbers of municians purchased. What they teach, how prestigious they are, how many students attend, the size of the campus I’m sure all have impact. San Fran I believe is mostly a graduate school.

    It’s crazy that they buy any arms, but as your own information would indicate, training/certifications to maintain their police officers is the majority use. UC Davis is who has the famous picture of a police officer spraying students sitting on the ground with pepper spray a few years ago. Makes me curious if they outsourced their police officers after that event to try to move the blame off of them in future incidents.


  • I know when Bill Clinton gave a speech at UCF (Orlando) in 2012 there were snipers on most of the school’s roofs in the area. Can’t remember if I was getting out of work or getting out of class but he was giving a speech I believe to support Obama’s re-election. They were likely secret service, but they had their own police station and hospital on campus. I’m sure all of the training and certifications had to be funded by the state and reported like this. Robots to deploy for bomb threats were used pretty often, as people would report a suspicious backpack or such, rumor mill was always that there was exams in that building so you could get class canceled by anonymously reporting said backpack. It true, hell of a way to postpone an exam because you didn’t find time to study.
