Today at the Univeristy of California Irvine, a mix of 800 student and some faculty held a mass protest against the lack of beta keys handed out by Blizzard Entertainment. The picture seen here is the mob taking to the streets in a direct march to Blizzard headquarters in Irvine to voice their complaints about the vast amount of noobs getting beta keys instead of loyal Brood War enthusiasts.

WE'RE WAITING BLIZZARD

I recognize both those locations on the UCI campus. I used to go there every day in the summer. The second picture is taken from the bridge that connects the UCI campus (by the rose garden) to the plaza with all the stores by Lee's sandwiches.

Edit: Ok, he changed the pictures. I should have quoted OP so this post doesn't seem off. But ya, second picture has been changed.

Obviously a cover-up by the WoW nerds. There are 12 million of them AND THEY ARE EVERYWHERE, EVEN IN GOOGLE NEWS.

Makes sense since the majority of all UC campuses is Asian, we love our StarCraft.

Some of these protests are stupid because most of them aren't even in it for the cause. There's already reports of students smashing windows on cars, pulling fire alarms at school, or running into classroom disrupting a teacher lecturing. At UC Santa Cruz, a couple hundred blocked off an intersection. Not to mention a group of idiots managed to block off I 880 and causing traffic that is extending for miles.

it's really quite stupid.

they're destroying the property of the people who pay taxes to fund their education.

not exactly the best way to gain support for your cause?

One of the few things more expensive than education is not having education. It's worth it, regardless of the cost.

Yes, I agree, but do it peacefully and civil at least. Causing damage to public/private property and blocking off roads is not.

no, the taxes aren't funding their education anymore, that's the issue.

you're not making any sense

if the reason for the protest is that taxes aren't funding their education anymore, then why would you want to destroy the citizen's private property? wouldn't it just make those taxpayers not want to join in the cause to redirect taxes back to public education? i know that if some public school students vandalized my property i wouldn't rally to their cause to have more of my tax money go to them.

UCR had around 500 students doing the same thing. Blizz needs to act before a violent revolution takes place.

That's because students are angry, reckless people. In that incident about the middle eastern guy getting tazed at the UCLA library, the students sensationalized the shit out of that story. The issue is still a problem, just some of the students are being dumb about it.

It's not their cause...it's our cause. They're just being stupid about it...we're not.
