Protester at Jordan Peterson lecture arrested while carrying a garrotte
This was in Kingston, Ontario; did this leftist think they were a french resistance fighter on a mission to assassinate a Nazi?

Protester who shattered window at Jordan Peterson lecture found to be carrying a garrotte
A woman who protested a controversial lecture that took place at Queen’s University on Monday is facing numerous charges from Kingston Police.
Jordan Peterson, a University of Toronto psychology professor, stopped at Queen’s as part of a tour to support his bestselling book 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos. The lecture he gave was titled The Rising Tide of Compelled Speech in Canada.
Peterson has been criticized for refusing direction to use nongender pronouns as well as opposing Bill C-16, which extends legal protections to transgender people. His critics have accused him of promoting far-right, racist, homophobic and Islamophobic ideas.
About 150 protesters gathered outside Grant Hall while Peterson gave his lecture that started at about 4:30 p.m.

At about 5:15 p.m. a woman, who isn’t a Queen’s student, stood on one of the building’s window ledges. Police said in their news release that she then started to bang on the window causing it break. The woman cut her hand, but fled the scene. She was stopped by officers dressed in plain clothing at University Avenue and Stuart Street.
When the officers identified themselves the woman started to yell and resisted arrest by trying to pull away, police said. Once handcuffed the woman became violent and started kicking one officer. Additional officers responded to take the woman to police headquarters, but on the way there she tried to kick out the cruiser’s window.
Once at police headquarters the woman refused to walk on her own and continued to be uncooperative. Police said that she bit one of the officers and had to be physically carried into her cell as she continued to be violent.
Police searched her backpack and inside they found a weapon inside. Commonly known as a garrote, the weapon consists of metal wire with handles on each end.
A 38-year-old local woman has been charged by police with mischief, assaulting police, possession of a weapon for dangerous purpose, and for carrying a concealed weapon. She was held in police custody to attend a bail court.

I have been watch Jordan B Peterson videos off youtube almost nonstop for a couple weeks.
REVOLUTIONARY GENIUS!
I am sure he would not consider himself a revoltionary genius, since everything he says is just "thoughtful common sense". But his extensive education, experience, and ability to bring the reasoning to bear FROM EVERY ANGLE are truly genius.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. In particular "The Biblical Series". Keep in mind that I am not a Christian, and neither does Peterson consider himself a Christian. But the truth is there!

What's that word in that sign? Valveing? I'm assuming that idiot meant "valuing."
I mean Jesus, how do you expect to be taken seriously when you write like a first grader?

At the event in the OP, the protesters put on their usual shit show, (at least) one of them banging on and breaking a stained glass window.

I travel with one in my backpack. In fact I fly with it regularly.
I don't however walk around with one in my pocket, at least not typically.
ETA: I missed the part where she had this in a backpack.
So have I been carrying around a concealed, dangerous weapon onto airplanes and anywhere else I happen to be with my backpack? How would you convince a police officer that it's not a weapon but part of your survival gear? I guess I better not go around breaking windows and resisting arrest.

Tell them you're a dentist on your way to provide free dental care at a Willie Nelson concert and it's the necessary gauge and grit dental floss.

Isn't "valveing marginalized people" subsidizing sex change operations or something? I'm pretty sure Bradley Manning has at least one more valve than he went into prison with.

Not for sure. “Diversity and Inclusion also known as tokenism”
I can only guess that this person wants ALL positions, promotions...filled by women, minorities, LGBTUVW, and whatever new oppressed group-of-the-week comes along. No promotions, scholarships, awards, etc. to white males. That’s just a guess...obviously
The sign the leftist in question carries further states “valueing [sic] and defending marginalized people.” That would seem to further support my guess.

Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.
I was in that classroom for Conflicts of Law just before her speech was scheduled to start.
The blond adult with glasses and purple sweater, who is following the student around trying to get her to stop chanting, is both my Conflicts of Law professor and the Dean of Faculty.

Easier to carry a roll of dimes and a couple socks.
Double up the socks and only put the dimes in if it's needed, separate they are innocuous. Combined, it's a mace.
Why we let these fascist protestors get away with their crimes is a mystery to me.
Water cannon, mass arrests, etc.

It looks like it's supposed to be a bad version of the Drake Meme. The top is supposed to be Drake waving off something that is usually considered common sense and the bottom is supposed to be him accepting something silly or ridiculous.
There is a common saying among "memers" that applies here "The left can't meme". It's proven over and over and every time they try to be clever, they end up making bigger fools of themselves.

Protest posters are a bad place for lack of clarity and obscure nuance. I wonder if the poster writer is English or other challenged. Trying to figure it out ls like trying to understand libs and makes me feel dirty.

They just think they're being super clever but it turns out that they are making fun of their own ideas.
