(Centre Daily Times)   The cost for Penn State's Proud Boy comedy show is $7,500 of student activity money to the Proud Boys and $31,680 to the local police. Now that's more funny weird than funny ha-ha   (centredaily.com) divider line

Why should Penn State pay it all?

Why not the Proud Boys?

Interesting way to shut them down: get them to pay for their own security and when they don't throw their asses in jail.

Sure.  That's also a great way to shut down most speakers for progressive politics, as well as speakers supporting homosexuality, abortion rights, women's rights, anti-racism measures, etc.

Requiring speakers to pay for their security effectively gives veto rights to groups that are willing to vigorously protest them.  And given that we know that the right is willing to threaten violence at their protests, it basically means that anything they don't approve of would have to pay for police protection, effectively shutting down most people speaking against right wing causes.

Jail isn't a debtors prison. You fail to pay government mandated fines you go to jail. I would love to skip out on a few traffic tickets myself, but you know.,.,

It's especially funny because the proud boys attacked the counter protesters with chemical weapons, and the police explicitly did nothing, as per TFA.

I would venture that this would be a fine excuse for not paying the police, for not performing the service that they were contracted to perform.

I have a hypothesis that all these conservatives are more likely to have played football and received either acute or chronic frontal cortex damage. I will require access to an fMRI machine, a comfortable office chair and a large mahogany desk behind which I will opine as to when I will accept the Nobel Prize. The committee may send the Swedish Bikini team ahead of time, of course.

I guarantee the cops that showed up got paid. In the end, it's just who is left holding the bag - if Penn State doesn't pay, it came out of some other part of the state police budget. Now, I couldn't give a shiat less if Penn State pays, or if the state police have to cancel some checkpoints or dedicated speed traps or whatever to cover their overtime budget. Don't care for a ton of reasons, ie: not a penn state trooper, not a cop in general, not a PA resident. But there is not a doubt in my mind that the cops hired to work the detail got paid, it's just whether Penn State reimburses or the state police has to eat the cost.

The Proud Boys can hire their own security detail instead of making the city and university pay the cops to undertake their usual duties of protecting right-wing protestors and harassing left-wing protestors.
