Thoughts & Notions |
I'm an avid music listener and literature lover. I decided to employ my time on the net on something productive and hence this blog was born. Enjoy... Location: Puerto Rico, yes, Puerto Rico. |
Today I was at my apt. minding my own business while all of a sudden I hear the Police helicopters flying around where I live near the University of Puerto Rico. Apparently there was some sort of pacifist manifestation on campus until the Police arrived trying to interrupt what was going on. Reporters from Al Jezeera were seen covering the incident that ended up with quite a few students arrested and some of them hurt, along with a few policemen.
How can we feel safe studying there? I can’t even go to the library without feeling terrified for my safety. Still, some people, I say some because there still people with common sense in this country, are “tired” of the students and their (fair) complains. I feel despondent when I read the comments of some fellow citizens about our university and the students, calling them anarquists and socialists, just because they are defending the last hope we have for redeeming our beloved country. Students are tired, but they will not give up.
