A video that showed University of Missouri protesters restricting a student photographer’s access to a public area of campus on Monday ignited discussions about press freedom.
Tim Tai, a student photographer on freelance assignment for ESPN, was trying to take photos of a small tent city that protesters had created on a campus quad. Concerned Student 1950, an activist group that formed to push for increased awareness and action around racial issues on campus, did not want reporters near the encampment.
Protesters blocked Mr. Tai’s view and argued with him, eventually pushing him away. At one point, they chanted, “Hey hey, ho ho, reporters have got to go.”

It is quite revealing that both police and now students and faculty members at colleges and universities are preventing citizens and reporters from exercising their right to freedom of the press.
We are entering a Dark Age in the United States. It is not surprising that the cops are complicit, but it is rather astonishing that colleges and universities also are now closing their minds. It is said that many want to tear up the US Constitution:

Shame on you, professors.
This is a sad time for the United States of America. We're on the road to revolution or worse, and considering the mindset of the revolutionaries it is extremely unlikely we will emerge from this better off than we were before.
