GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The University of Florida is investigating allegations that members of the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity spat at a group of disabled military veterans last weekend at a resort in Panama City Beach.

...

About 60 veterans who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan were also attending a retreat which has been held twice a year for the last six years at the resort. Cope started the event in honor of her son Joshua, who lost both legs in Baghdad in 2006 when a roadside bomb exploded under his Humvee.

One letter to Fuchs described students spitting on veterans, throwing beer bottles over a balcony and ripping flags off their cars.

Cope said she believes the students knew they were insulting veterans because the guests were wearing caps and T-shirts indicating they are veterans.

"They knew who they were and they were just getting a kick out of it," she said. "It is heartbreaking for a mom with a son who sacrificed so much for their freedom."

Let's talk about frats. I think frats are essentially the last locus of student power on the modern college campus and they're being systemically targeted for removal by administrations. I also think those cheeseburger swilling rich kid surfer bros are some real fuckers.

this is like saying that police unions are the last locus of organized worker power and are therefore being targeted for removal

The story left out the part where the frat boy yelled about how meaningless and parasitic all of our lives are over Yes being played at a deafening volume

when you said "targeted for removal" did you mean the generally promoted trope about frat boys all being drunken assholes or something, because that's like 50 years old

i was in a frat where i met some of the worst people i've ever met and i went to law school so that's saying something!! for example the alumni advisor guy worked for MEMRI. anyway we were an eyesore that trafficked lots of drugs, the university got it condemned, and now its a parking lot. i guess what's left is all rotc kids. moral of the story is: I stand with Kevin

frats are "locuses of student power" in the sense that they're locuses of white boys exerting power over everyone else. frat houses should be evacuated and their inhabitants dispersed to the winds in a mini-JDPON

I guess I will be more concerned about the evil fratmen when they start raping children and gangstalking black people and getting away with it. I herby declare this is a safe space to further examine the revolutionary potentional of the fraternal brotherhood of frats.

rich white old boys effectively subsidizing lavish parties via frat dues, on top of the social (white) / economic (rich) sorting involved in becoming a member. then you use frat connections to get a job with someone who raped a girl in the same room you did, 40 years ago

lol if you think that the agonizing tedium of a frat party is something to aspire to. i can't figure it out, are you just plain dumb, hopelessly naive and trying to cover for inexperience with bluster, or were you so socially deprived that you never got to experience anything better?
