A roast is a form of comedy in which a specific individual, a guest of honor, is subjected to jokes at their expense, intended to amuse the event's wider audience. Such events are intended to honor a specific individual in a unique way.
You can't roast someone who isn't in attendance, you stupid fuckers.
Load up on rotten eggs and vegetables and pelt the fuckers as they walk in.
The event is scheduled to be hosted by the student chapter of Uncensored America, a nonpartisan organization fighting for freedom of speech, on September 18.** Gavin McInnes**, founder of the Proud Boys, and Milo Yiannopoulos, a right-wing media personality, have been named as the event’s “roastmasters.”
In a joint statement with Thad Westbrook, chairman of the university’s Board of Trustees, Amiridis said the school is “steadfast in safeguarding the First Amendment rights of our students, even when we may be offended by their choices and statements.”
Yeah… so…. When asshole racists who want to bring back slavery do their thing, it’s “we protect their first amendment rights”, but when it’s people being like “genocide is bad”, it’s “antisemitic riots can’t be tolerated”?
and if someone came there speaking against Trump, there’d be bomb threats, and people with tiki torches out front wearing hoods and chanting “they will not replace us”
Sounds a hell of a lot like Thad is, in the absolute best case, intentionally ignoring the paradox of tolerance. And I’m fairly confident this is not the absolute best case.
FUCK NO! LET THEM COOK. Film that shit and mark everyone. If the president of the school allows it, mark the school a terrorist threat. Don't let the Klan hide, kill it off for good.
