“As a matter of fact student riots of one sort or another, protests against the order that is, kicks against college and university management indicate a healthy growth and a normal functioning of the academic mind.”
William Allen White
“I despair that the next generation will one day look back and read that the University Students’ Council, KSU, was unable to even comment on whether it would agree to an application from organisation MOVE to install a condom machine in Students’ House, because it has no “statutory” right to take a stand without the approval of the Social Policy Commission. Statutory rights? On the life-or-death issue of a condom machine (Aids and STDs apart)? Give me a break.”
Vanessa Macdonald
“I wouldn't attach too much importance to these student riots. I remember when I was a student at the Sorbonne in Paris, I used to go out and riot occasionally.”
John Foster Dulles
“The most dangerous thing about student riots is that adults take them seriously.”
Georges Pompidou
“The limitation of riots, moral questions aside, is that they cannot win and their participants know it. Hence, rioting is not revolutionary but reactionary because it invites defeat. It involves an emotional catharsis, but it must be followed by a sense of futility.”
Martin Luther King Jr.
“He has profited from the riots and the protests.”
Christophe Barbier
“Around 50 inmates were involved. Tickets were written for inciting riots and participating in a riot. All the prisoners participating have been transferred to higher security prisons.”
