Last time that happened on Tech campus was '69

I was not there but my sister was. They occupied Williams Hall to protest the war... figures they took over the Humanities bldg.... State troopers brought in a Mayflower Moving Van, backed it up to the front doors, sent officers in through all the other doors and did a full sweep of the building. They herded all the protesters down to the van and took them all to the jail where they booked them on trespass charges and since they found rags, bottles, and kerosene in the basement janitor's closet also threw in possession of bomb making materials. All protests ended shortly thereafter.

Vienna_Hokie • 04/30/24 10:46 AM ET
And maybe the silver lining is that VT parts ways with a few knuckleheads.**

NYC eviction laws very tenant friendly. Wonder if they get rent control... **
Burruss Writer • 04/30/24 08:42 AM ET
So what does this accomplish? Clearly, it's trespassing
hoosnowahokie • 04/30/24 08:21 AM ET
I think the real reasons can't be discussed on TSL due to the TOS.**
