The bottom line here is, this issue is still receiving support from large sections of the Missouri students. Are they all ignorant and looking out for themselves? I find that hard to believe. Is the Missouri administration/president solely to blame? Probably not. But it seems obvious that more needs to be done, by both sides, if they both actually do want change, and they both claim they do.

Part of my issue with groups like this is that they do make such unrealistic and extreme demands right off the bat. But that just means they're less likely to have those demands met, it doesn't mean the university is forced to meet them.

Being a university president, especially at a time like this, is not easy. Wolfe signed up for it, and now it's on him to figure out a way to come to some kind of resolution. That may not be possible, but both sides need to come to the table with the intent to be realistic and actually resolve the issue. At the very least, Wolfe needs to make it clear what he has done in an attempt to resolve it. I believe that if he is sincere and honest, he will get majority support.

These are not just students. You do understand how close Ferguson is right? This is not being carried out just by students. Where did concerned students 1950 come from? Where did they get the organization? Come on. We all know that young people like a good cause to fight authority. You did it, I did it, etc...

More needs to be done? We will never force every human in this world to like everybody else. There will always be a few idiots. At issue here, and I HOPE they have sense enough to handle it, is riots. Not because of the 2 incidences that were addressed, but because you have a few people inciting it. Those demands HAD NOTHING to do with what happened.

You know it, and I know it.
