No sympathy: College administrators and professors finally reap what they sow
The College Fix ^ | 27 Apr 2024 | Dave Huber

You’ve had this coming for a loooooong time

One of my favorite all-time films is 1982’s “The Verdict” starring Paul Newman as down-and-out attorney Frank Galvin who takes on a case against the Archdiocese of Boston.

After astonishingly turning down a settlement offer from the defendant and opting to go to trial, Galvin soon loses his star witness.

Desperate and not knowing what to do, Galvin goes to the home of the trial judge late at night to beg for a continuance.

The judge slowly closes the door in his face and says “I have no sympathy for you.”

Consider me the judge these past few weeks when it comes to far-left college professors and administrators, most especially those in the Ivy League. Their campuses have transformed into literal encampments of overly privileged crybullies who really believe Israel is the villain in the current Mideast conflict, and the long-time terrorist group Hamas is the good guy.

This is what academia taught their students, karma. They need to be fired, replaced with loyal Americans, taught civics and responsibility. It’ll take a generation to fix, best to get started now.

Yes, and the ending was wonderful. (spoiler alert). Jury foreman asks the judge if there’s any limit on punitive damages. Jaws drop all around.

The Verdict... great flick.

I forget the exact title (maybe "The Verdech) but the MAD Magazine parody was pretty funny.

“They created the little monsters and now they have to live with them.”

Just like EVERY commie organization. Guess who gets their heads lopped off first when they are no longer useful to the revolution? But none of them understands that.
