The post we've all been waiting for: This year's excuse for Ed's failure to graduate. Not his fault! Nor, of course, will option (a) come to pass, because filing a lawsuit would require almost as much effort as doing schoolwork. <br /><br />Instead we shall continue to be entertained by Ed's oh-so-scary "troublemaking". I'm already starting to feel the blistering heat from his scorched-blog campaign. Tell me, Ed -- what's the digital equivalent of a wedgie?

Frankly, I hope he subponeas you to testify on your blog postings...<br /><br />What is interesting -- truly interesting -- is that he is *not* naming he woman who is in charge of the student judicial program. That is really interesting, but I digress.<br /><br />And Larry, any scintilla of respect I had for the police was |/dev/null when they declared martial law <b><i>AND PREVENTED ME FROM GOING TO THE LIBRARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</i></b><br /><br />I was not rioting -- I could care less about football, I had schoolwork to do. I live a mile from Southwest.<br /><br />But because I complied with their ILLEGAL order, I may not graduate. And the understanding I have with UMass is simple: I graduate or I (a) sue and (b0 spend the rest of my life in Amherst causing just as much trouble as I possibly can.<br /><br />Ed is not kidding -- it will be scorched earth and folks don't have an idea of some of the training i have....<br /><br />AS TO THE LAWSUIT, UMass is not on solid ground here. They kicked him out BEFORE they had a hearing. You can't do that, you couldn't even do that in Stalinist Soviet Russia -- they had to give you a show trial.<br /><br />Further, have you bothered to see if he is bringing this suit Pro Se? He may be -- just because you couldnt doesnt mean tha there arent kids bright enough at UM to be able to .<br /><br />And to the UMPD -- it is going to be a long spring -- throw in an Israeli strike on Iraq (I hear March) and I say "Kent State Part Deux." What is going to happen guys is simple, you are going to get absorbed into the MSP and your lovely new station is going to replace the aging Hamp barracks. <br /><br /><b><i>RESTORE LAKE HITCHCOCK!!!</i></b>Ednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-22212164204999922282012-02-19T19:26:10.108-05:002012-02-19T19:26:10.108-05:00I supported Sullivan, but I am disappointed in wha...I supported Sullivan, but I am disappointed in what I have seen thus far.<br /><br />I won't vote that way again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-41705320275496218312012-02-19T19:17:38.363-05:002012-02-19T19:17:38.363-05:00Sounds to me like you voted for Michael Cahillane....Sounds to me like you voted for Michael Cahillane.Larry Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02614645831526190536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-14137170896856193842012-02-19T19:05:24.931-05:002012-02-19T19:05:24.931-05:00To think that Sully is going to move the needle on...To think that Sully is going to move the needle on curbing these incidences is naive. <br /><br />As I said, he has nothing better to dig into,so he hands out oatmeal cookies, he is no D.A.
