Why has Jake the dog a pic of a pussy cat in his profile?

And with these acts of violence on innocent bypassing motorists the protestors (yes, ALL of them) have lost my respect. Sorry, SammyD and company but whether you like it or not you are now included in this mob.

Stay on campus, protest and stay off the streets...

I see they're saying that guy in the bakkie drove through the barrier and tried to run over students. Apparently broke one girl's leg.

But then you have this...

This court interdict changes everything. UCT protests have been the least violent nationally - yet we get this. It means war #UCTshutdown

Al-Azhar University and the University of Timbuktu were founded in the 10th century.

Al-Azhar University and the University of Timbuktu were founded in the 10th century.

Yes, but obviously they were not expansionist in their teachings and thus no colonization of Europe and the Americas occurred by Africans

Two universities in the north do not an education system make.

More a product of Middle Eastern culture than African culture.

I've been avoiding this thread like the plague since the car incident. I finally grew a pair and opened it.

Its was completely wrong and unacceptable

But

The students were like this:

Then the guy tried to run them over injuring 4 students in the process.

Then it ended like this.

Public road. Vehicles have the right of way.

 

[ToxicBunny]

So the students tried to block a public road?

if their protest left the grounds of the university then a different set of rules apply... the motorist probably felt threatened and was trying to protect himself.

 

[CruelBreeze]

And with these acts of violence on innocent bypassing motorists the protestors

The guy was only an innocent bypassing motorist before he tried to run students over. Not condoning what happened, but he could have killed someone. He's lucky the worst injury is a broken leg.

They blocked a public road.... are you assuming the driver knew the protests related to the university?

The protesters are lucky they aren't spending the night in jail.

He's a Wits student. He knew.

Did they deprive him of his right to education, like the fees deprive them of their right to education?

I haven't seen any news reports stating as such... also I was a varsity student.. I wasn't aware of all the protests on campus since I didn't go in every day towards the end of my degree...

Well I'm telling you that he's a student. It was also tweeted by one of the news publications I follow. If you don't mind trudging through tweets from five hours ago I'd be glad to give you a list.

And you'd have to be living under a rock to not know about this protest.

According to Twitter they are still there attacking cars... so what did the other drivers do?
