Rich Heyman talks to police at the April 29 protest at UT Austin.

 

Edited May 11 by Bevo

[Bevo 13440]

A copy of the probable cause affidavit states that Heyman approached state troopers and yelled in their faces, "F**k you, you don't belong here!" as police began making their way toward the protesters in the encampment on the lawn of the university's South Mall.
Police backed by Texas Department of Public Safety troopers arrest protesters at the University of Texas campus April 29.

The charging document states that the officers used their bikes to create a barrier while troopers approached the encampment. That document says that Heyman attempted to "breach (the) line" and maintained his "verbally aggressive demeanor."

DPS trooper Thomas Goodson states in the charging document that he pushed Heyman back, and the professor responded by yelling. At some point, Heyman put his finger in Goodson's face and grabbed his bike by the handle and "physically started to pull my bike away from me, interfering with my assigned duties," the affidavit says.

The charging document notes that Heyman broke the trooper's "state-issued bike bell," which costs $62.

UT police then pulled Heyman away, and he yelled, "F**k you, I am a f**king professor here!"

Well, you can be sure that that affidavit does not state the facts in any way favorable to Heyman.

And, does anyone think that what is documented there deserves criminal charges?  Particularly in this context?

Somewhat ironically, if Heyman was a Karen outside a Starbucks employing similar speech and actions in regard to her defective caramel macchiato, we'd probably be cheering this arrest affidavit.

In the photo, it looks like the lecturer is yelling at the cops. It really surprises me because lecturers typically listen and learn. But, that isn't what I'm talking about. I'm talking about proof that I'm authoritarian. Maybe, I'm Jewish and despise the attacks against Jews. Maybe, I'm black and despise racist speech. Maybe, I don't like kids wandering into the middle of a movie and telling us what it is about. Maybe I think students and agitators should be learning rather than lecturing. Maybe, I don't like my university being turned into a zoo that fucks up finals and graduation. Maybe, I think that because my wife was convicted for interfering with an arrest when she was a teenager that equal treatment should be applied to all. Maybe, I'm familiar with history of the movements in Italy and in Germany that began as socialist and ended as Fascist which despite their hatred of each other, supported the same sort of mind that proved actually closely related. There are lots of reasons for me to support his arrest and his dismissal from school that don't fit Captain's rationale.

Maybe. I damn sure am the father of a young UT grad who went to one of the first BLM protests, and who was standing near the young man who caught a metal shot “bean bag” with his head, which entered his brain, and which was fired by APD while confronting protestors. Could have been my daughter. Exercising a Constitutional Right. Forgive me if authoritarian tactics piss me off, and I oppose them regardless of whichever side of the spectrum they originate. And so, now that my youngest is on the 40 acres, I expect her to be able to speak her mind, in public, without fear of jackboots and their sycophantic supporters.

I agree, I'm against the encampments and breaking into/occupying buildings, but that's clearly not what's happening in the image.  He's yelling at the cop.  How is that a fire-able offense?  Destruction of property?  It was a fucking bicycle bell, for God sake.  Let's try to have some perspective.

Sure, you’re right. Again, the burden of proof (of taking over buildings, or erecting tents) is on the state. Arrest those who do so, without stepping on the rights of others to protest.

Disrupting classes? Only the disingenuous believe that protests do that. Stormtroopers massing to bring violence into protests? Yeah, that belies the sanctity of class time non interference.

the IT discipline of Service Management has a concept called "root-cause analysis"

i propose the root cause of the reaction to the "anti-semitic" protests is the fact that israel has brain-washed the population of the united states to believe that questioning israel 100% directly equates to attacking the jewish religion and in the wake of the holocaust that messaging was sold to the us populace hook line and sinker for the rest of the 20th century

only today, with the parents of ww2 children almost entirely gone, are there cracks in the dike of consensus reality, despite israel's history of terrorism which is never reported, taught or discussed in the us media or education system

That is wild that your daughter was so close to that event. My parents were near Kent State when the National Guard killed those four students. My mom was also near Philadelphia, MS when Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner were killed by the KKK in 1964.

I hope most understand that they might get arrested or fired for fighting with the police. There are actions and there are consequences. And there is a time and a place for everything.

As for the event itself. Personally, I believe that Palestinians should live in peace in the US and Jews should live in peace in the US. So, I guess that makes me more libertarian in that respect.

Being rigid in you right to protest anywhere and any place without police intervention and being in support in asking Hertzel to step down, I assume that when protests again happen during the DNC convention, you will be pissed that police block the protestors,and will ask for the head of the DNC, which I assume is Biden, to step down. I get your position, but I am actually okay with using the police to keep the Palestinian protestors away from the DNC.

Probably a bad opt-in poll.

https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/03/05/online-opt-in-polls-can-produce-misleading-results-especially-for-young-people-and-hispanic-adults/

Online opt-in polls have become increasingly popular. And for some purposes, such as election polling, they can perform similarly to more traditional survey approaches.

There is evidence, however, that the online environment in which they operate is somewhat unstable.

In particular, several recent studies have documented large errors in online opt-in surveys due to the presence of so-called “bogus respondents.” These respondents do not answer questions sincerely; instead, they attempt to complete surveys with as little effort as possible to earn money or other rewards.

Studies have shown that bogus respondents can cause opt-in surveys to overestimate rare attitudes and behaviors, such as ingesting bleach to protect against COVID-19, belief in conspiracies like Pizzagate or support for political violence.

At Pew Research Center, we’ve found that this type of overreporting tends to be especially concentrated in estimates for adults under 30, as well as Hispanic adults. Bogus respondents may be identifying this way in order to bypass screening questions that might otherwise prevent them from receiving a reward, though the precise reasons are difficult to pin down. Whatever the underlying cause, the result can be unreliable estimates for those groups.

*****

In the context of what we’ve learned from our investigations into opt-in polls, we took particular notice of a recent online opt-in survey that had a startling finding about Holocaust denial among young Americans. The survey, fielded in December 2023, reported that 20% of U.S. adults under 30 agree with the statement, “The Holocaust is a myth.” This alarming finding received widespread attention from the news media and on social networks.

From a survey science perspective, the finding deserved a closer look. It raised both of the red flags in the research literature about bogus respondents: It focused on a rare attitude (Holocaust denial), and it involved a subgroup frequently “infiltrated” by bogus respondents (young adults).

*****

We attempted to replicate the opt-in poll’s findings in our own survey, fielded in mid-January 2024 on Pew Research Center’s American Trends Panel.

A dot plot showing that opt-in poll and probability-based surveys produce very different results on young adults’ views of the Holocaust, abortion.
Unlike the December opt-in survey, our survey panel is recruited by mail – rather than online – using probability-based sampling. And in fact, our findings were quite different.

Rather than 20%, we found that 3% of adults under 30 agree with the statement “The Holocaust is a myth.” (This percentage is the same for every other age group as well.) Had this been the original result, it is unlikely that it would have generated the same kind of media attention on one of the most sensitive possible topics.

I don't see what's so significant about the date. The Pew article is even more recent if that's what you're getting at. The folks who put together the survey you're citing have a very clear agenda. Further, I don't see any information about their methodology, such as how they ask the question, which can make a big difference in how they answer.

For example: https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/sites/default/files/2018-07/55003.pdf

 

You can either believe a very trusted, widely known polling organization with no clear bias, such as Pew, or not. I've given you the information to make a reasoned judgment.

They do have an agenda and I’ve worked closely with them. They’re quite good. What agenda did you think they had? 
 

 

I am pretty confident that if in 2020  had claimed or suggested that a well known organization dedicated to returning Jewish property stolen during the Holocaust was ginning up sham polls about Holocaust education, your eyebrows would have raised.  You might have even wondered about my own motivation for suggesting it.  
 

But after October 23  you rolled right into that theory. Easiest thing in the world and seems right to talk about. You’re telling on yourself more than the data or organziation. 
 

The methodology was 450 landline, 450 mobile, and 450 online non-paid, FWIW and you can read the question for yourself.

I'm not accusing them of putting out a sham poll, but they are not a professional polling outfit whose agenda, by the way, I fully support. I just don't buy the results -- it's way too high. I've got a kid in her early 20s, and she is very aware of the Holocaust. I'll ask her to chat with her friends to see if any of them are deniers.

• Pew says Holocaust denial in that age group is 3% when the polling is done properly. If not, you get 20% (2023).
• The Roper Center at Cornell for Public Opinion Research shows that if you ask the question properly, you get 8%. If not, you get 22% (1994).
• The Claims Conference says 23% (2020).

I'm seeing a pattern here.

Quote

“According to survey of adults 18-30, 23% said they believed the Holocaust was a myth, had been exaggerated or they weren’t sure”

Actually, by those criteria the number is 35%...but I love that "myth" is first in-line whereas in the actual poll that's 1%.  

It's much more likely that people answering "not sure" are talking about whether the number of dead was 6m or some lower number.... say 5m... not that they think Jews weren't victims of the Holocaust.  

At minimum it's a disingenuous post.

The right is for peaceable protest, and within that structure, no I do not concede arrest is acceptable. Defending oneself against attack is another right I think we both insist decides legality of one’s actions, and not perceived attack by a bitch ass imagination. 

If the national guard attacks peaceful protestors, then Biden is no longer our standard.

No, it's not "vibes are off;" it's data from the Pew Research Center. Moreover, my "go-to" was to cite research from a renowned polling organization showing that opt-in polls get notoriously bad results from the age group in question and that if the polling is properly done, the outrageously high value becomes more reasonable.

Also, how could I have dug into it more before citing Pew? All you posted was a screenshot of the lead-in to the article, which didn't show the name of either the organization or the polling firm. For my part, I had recently read the Pew piece, so it was top of mind when I saw your headline.

Stop making insinuations.

Geez, seems like I need a new prescription for my glasses, because to me that looks like an entirely different article...and years later.

If we’re going with “The Guardian is clickbait,” we are just totally gone here.

Point to where I said, "The Guardian is clickbait", and not the headline was clickbait...I'll hold.

For sure, the youth are killing it by fracturing consensus reality, I’m sure it’s a cause to celebrate. (Check the date on this, too).

Media is controlled by Jewish people.  Holocaust was actually the Holofaux.  Never happened

I find it hilarious that we are complaining about headlines because they grab people's attention. Maybe we will go after book titles next.

Rare made up moment where Israel and protesters both share common ground not giving a fuck about the hostages? Interesting.

My honest first thought upon seeing this video is true concern for this young lady's future and safety. There are a lot of predators out there and this is like a bat signal to them as someone who is likely very easy to groom. She's attractive and clearly emotionally unstable and expressed a separation between herself and any support structures/family. I really hope, for her, it's just an act and those are alligator tears, but I don't think they are and that really does worry me.

Petulant child. Maybe the university isn’t acknowledging there is a genocide because there in fact is not a genocide. Good luck with your solidarity fasts. Your fat ass needs it.
