The question is: Did Brown University acquiesce under pressure from far-left human rights groups to disable their CCTV systems, in advance of the mass shooting on campus?
As originally reported in August 2025 {SOURCE}, a group of far-left human rights advocates sent a letter to 150 U.S. colleges and universities asking them to disable the CCTV systems to protect “free expression and academic freedom across the country,” because “the Trump administration has launched an aggressive campaign against US academic institutions.”
The motive for the request to disable CCTV systems as stated: “Right now these tools are facilitating the identification and punishment of student protesters, undermining activists’ right to anonymity––a right the Supreme Court has affirmed as vital to free expression and political participation.” {SOURCE}
The letter from ‘Fight For The Future‘ (August, 2025) came after an earlier campaign by the same group seeking to stop the use of facial recognition cameras on college campuses. {SOURCE}
The Brown University President and school officials have been giving ridiculous answers to questions about the 800 cameras on the campus and the fact that no current footage exists of the shooter walking around inside the campus or inside the buildings therein.
The question is really a simple one. Did Brown University follow the requests of the hardline leftist groups who asked the school to disable the functioning of their surveillance network in order to protect the identity of the students on campus?
Obviously, this potential explanation would answer a lot of seemingly irreconcilable questions about the lack of surveillance footage available to local law enforcement, state police and FBI investigators. The only current footage of the shooter is from privately owned doorbell cameras and CCTV systems from businesses near the campus. No footage of the shooter on campus has been identified.
Against the factual evidence of Brown University receiving requests to disable their surveillance cameras, someone needs to ask the right question.
Everyone can see the potential ramifications here, along with the severity of the legal risk Brown University would be facing. Perhaps that dynamic is what’s behind the twisted wording and explanations coming from university and local officials.
A targeted political assassination of a young, female conservative vice-chair of the Brown University Republican group takes place. The ideological shooter benefits from the lack of school security and surveillance. That lack of security was intentionally created by ideological school administrators and officials bowing to pressure from ideologically aligned leftist organizations.
If accurate, this is quite a scenario on many levels; including a considerable legal risk, intentional and willful negligence, and massive lawsuit exposure in the aftermath of two deaths and 9 injured students. Brown University has an $8 billion endowment.
As everyone understands, a University like Brown creates a local economy unto itself. College towns like Providence, Rhode Island are college towns for a reason. The college is a considerable foundation for the economic wealth of the community. As an outcome, the local officials would be in full protection mode over their economic foundation. In this case, there are billions at stake.
Perhaps this dynamic explains all the conflicts and seemingly bizarre statements by local and university officials. WATCH:

The technology is benign…
The motivations behind its use are where the issues arise…
Campus safety, and the larger public safety aspects, are a legitimate, good use.
Mass surveillance, not so good.
The DOJ is not going after legitimate protest, but the illegal acts within ‘protests’.
Now, to head off the obvious response…
Without taking a position for or against…I am totally for being able to protest what Israel has done vis-a-vis Gaza…I am not for those ‘protests’ turning violent with threats and/or personal/property damage.
And…guests.of this country DO NOT have the same freedom of speech that citizens do…nor should they, so getting your asses booted for saying what a citizen could say…TFB.
Back to the conversation…
We cannot wish away the surveillance technologies, and they do have valuable uses, such as being able to track down individuals who gun down innocent people in a classroom.
The challenge is to be vigilant and attempt to restrain the use from the Orwellian aspects we see being manifested today…and it is an overwhelming challenge…
Good points.
But on this:
> “I am totally for being able to protest what Israel has done vis-a-vis Gaza…I am not for those ‘protests’ turning violent with threats and/or personal/property damage.”
I would say this too, except for today’s fact that practically nobody is arresting the violent ones you cite.
Overwhelming challenge indeed.
The article is about the Communist inspired agenda of the Democrap Party. Why else would they ask for removal of systems designed to protect the students from all kinds of harm? These Universities have completely lost sight of their only real job, which is to provide a safe environment for higher learning. Leftist/Authoritarian politics controls nearly all of the actions of these institutions.
Leftists don’t care a bit about the right to privacy of anyone they see as obstacles to their power. Soon, fence sitters will have to jump down and I hope they can at least get that part right.
These universities created the little monsters who wreck havoc on collage campuses. I hope they are sued into the next millennium.
It sure looks like Brown is one of the many Universities that agreed with the Trump admin to uphold the law, but that works to undermine the law and hide their lawbreaking.
This is just another brick in that wall of rebellion.
Note the deception in the letter. Anonymity is protected in legal political action. Not in violent protests committing crimes. Nor in public areas.
But as others have pointed out, the confuse the issue so that they can consider their violence as legitimate.
Also, this would be a documented act and likely would have been public in some way. At least shared with their criminal collaborators. Like Palestinian protest groups.
Though the POI avoided the campus as much as possible. Hitting a building on the edge of campus but only in the old part with less cameras. Approaching and fleeing from off campus. Possibly was avoiding the Brown surveillance system
Spent over 20 yrs doing expert witness work on premises liability cases nationwide. The plaintiffs will own Brown University
Delighted to hear that. Alabama lost one if its daughters and nothing will replace her. I am sure there are many on the campus of Brown celebrating her death. I hope that school is crushed.
It should be razed and salted. Then poured over with concrete and a memorial 20 feet tall erected on top.
Would personally come out of retirement to do that case for the plaintiffs free of charge. 1st, it will never go to trial. Even with a jury of area libs, showing the ignorance of the University’s decision to decrease the campus’s security posture just to cater to leftists being publicly exposed, will force the settlement checks to write themselves.
God bless you. I hope that the parents accept your kind offer.
I hope and pray this is so.
Calling Barus and Holley the old part of campus is not accurate. It was built in the 1960s. University Hall was built in 1763.
There’s no way there aren’t cameras on every entry and exit to that building.
The Residence of the University President is far older than that building and is fully equipped with security cameras.
I hope someone asks that cop-hating woman this exact question on live TV!
There may be cameras, but they may have been shut off to “keep the Trump administration from deporting students.” That is, of course, absurd. However if the real reason to demand the removal of a security system was to carry out an act of political terrorism it is truly shocking. The level of planning and malevolence is astonishing.
NHBandit, I am with you that the latter is the real reason that the cameras were off, and that putting off ICE serves as a cause of a ‘plausible deniability’.
Why target a 20 year old sophomore VP of College Republicans from the Deep South? Is not being from the South a form of ‘diversity’ for a New England Ivy League institution?
Also access control/card access in many if not most areas of campus, with continuous audit trail. Its common knowledge in premises liability cases that the general public have an expectation of security from any business or organization that has multiple cameras visible to the public. Its assumed those cameras are regularly reviewed and maintained and are working, reliable, surveillance cameras with continuous recording. This expectation would be even greater at a major college or university or even a High School, especially given active shooter threats. If a written document turns up indicating that Brown deliberately shut down the security cameras then their goose is cooked.
Nothing organic about this. Looking forward to George Webb’s class action.
The pattern is now screaming in our faces. We all see it.
Democrats, SEIU, teachers union, deep state, etc, etc, etc will stop at nothing, nor ever rest until they get their hands back on the taxpayer check book.
Which is why the TOTAL elimination of the Fed and all related, associated organizations need to be crushed and the earth beneath them salted!!!
makes sense – Brown’s lack of answers is on the advice of their
Constantly
Yelling
Attorneys.
the way i’ve worked it out to keep calm is this:
ok to cameras in public spaces – as another poster pointed out, one has no expectation of privacy in a public space.
HOWEVER, i consider cell phone data and the like (“papers” in all their iterations) to be private.
that should require probable cause and a warrant to acquire.
and yes, i hope righteous legal action against Brown serves as a lasting example –
the safety of students at any age is not an ideological issue.
These same people had no such issues about civil liberties when they hunted down Jan 6ers!!!
Or mandated the poison death shot to their students (future donors?) and faculty and all contractors or vendors who visited the campus?
I’m confused. Are we FOR the surveillance state?
On public spaces no.
In the privacy of your home yes.
Criminals should never feel safe.
Brown is in deep doo-doo.
Always was the Ivy League of last resort, worst endowment and where you go when you don’t have Daddy’s connections.
I believe you’re thinking of Cornell. . .
If it’s Brown, flush it down.
This explanation makes complete sense. The class action lawsuit against Brown will be epic.
The irony is that Free Speech is something the Left Hates, almost as much as they hate Trump.
This could be the break out event for Colleges and Universities to begin tumbling.
The walls are closing in (or something like that)
Left hates FREE SPEECH from conservatives. BUT from the leftist side of the column not so much
I most sincerely hope so!
What kind of weapon was used?
9mm reportedly.
A gun that had its own tiny little legs, arms and fingers including good eyesight?
Or a deranged person who picked one weapon over another, but his goal was the same.
It was once reported as a “9mm rifle” which is somewhat unusual. True? Hard to tell at this moment!
Plenty of SBRs use 9. I own a few and while I went with 5.7, they all came in 9mm as well.
The Keltec Sub 2000 9mm rifle can fit nicely in a small duffle bag or backpack. It’s 30.5 inches fully extended and 16.25 inches in the folded configuration.

If the far-left human rights groups conspired on this letter, what else are they coordinating as a group? Does the FBI have them under surveillance as they would Catholics and parents?
Didn’t you get the memo? The FBLie is for policing those of us that see through this grand delusion and maintaining the established system and their house of cards. Can’t have us commoners thinking on our own and coming to our own well thought out conclusions.
There appears an interesting proximity between the FEEBs and the extraneous ‘extremist groups,’ that pop up around these events, over time. The Patriot Front may be the most clumsy, buffoonish example…just sayin’…
The Patriot Front looks a lot like a graduation class of FBI from Quantico.
Yup!
FEEBs?
LEO-friend’s expression for the eff-BI that I appropriated.
There has been way too much emphasis on this “portly” or “fat” individual…
Deliberate Distraction?
No comments from those who favor the body image.
Is this a classic example of trading liberty for security? I thought we did not want to be watched every minute of everyday by “authorities”.
It used to be God was watching over you, and knew everything you did. Was not all that long ago.
Kept people in good order with good conscience. I like that version of 24/hour surveillance better, since it required person discipline and accountability.
So no one is giving up liberty with 24 hour cameras. They gave up personal accountability instead. Whine, whine whine, that was their tradeoff.
I want to be a brat 24/7 and I don’t want to get caught .Some progress.
This is what happens when you get a post-Christian America. Christ is the only, GENUINE answer.
The demon has been on this Revolution since Adam&Eve, then Martin Luther! All the revolutions in the last 500 +/- years have shown this fact!
The campus protected the bandits then try to play catchup. Gun free zones are safe haven for shooters…bill
I don’t like surveillance. So I’m on board with this mostly. Cops used to be able catch bad guys without video.
I hope Brown admits and defends their anti-surveillance stance and all the leftists (and others, too) echo it loud and clear.
If this badass had not been wearing a mask, the game would already be over.
I say the first thing we need do is outlaw masks.
Bandits will be angry. So what.
Im with you!
Only LEOs should be allowed to wear masks.😷
Monitor yourself, and expect others to do the same. Same result. So what is now missing in this equation?
I hope Brown is bankrupted into oblivian(sp?) for this!!! And on OUR tax dollars! SPIT!!!
College creates a local economy of it’s own. I can confirm that. I grew up in and still have a house in a small town that is home (and origin) to the 2 year college of a major private southern college. The Ivy league school of the south….Emory University. The college provides a significant percentage of the town budget. Probably 10-25%. Some town decisions are made based on college “suggestions”. It’s not bad and we haven’t had blatant obvious in your face wokeness.
The entire town itself is an historical town to Methodism. There was a very large 3 panel bronze history marker with history of the town. Naturally, with some portions to the Civil War era. This marker (like many smaller ones you’ve seen) was 4 feet by 8 feet each panel. Biggest I have ever seen. During the monument removals a few years ago, it was taken down and (fortunately, at least) stored away. I don’t think it was melted down. This monument even had a city map made of bronze with points of interest and locations in the town.
Colleges infiltrate towns. .
K-12 teacher union wreckage infiltrates colleges.
Go back to the source for today’s current malaise – teachers unions.
K-12 teacher unions have taken over the rest of the country’s municipalities where colleges are not already in place!
Turning away from God is the source!
Yep. Santa Cruz, California was reliably Republican.
The UC campus arrived in the late 60’s.
In a few short decades, it became Berzerkly II.
That’s fine, disable all the police-state surveillance cameras through out the nation.
Absolutely! Then challenge these unconstitutional gun-free zones so that law abiding citizens can finally stop the radical crazies instead of being target practice for them.
I wonder just how deep this assault on the republic goes?
How many Democrats voters are there? You have you answer.
Ballots. 😉
The larger picture: Surveillance state for you and I, no surveillance state for the privileged children of elites.
During the lockdown protests, Democrat operatives deployed cellphone tracking apps to follow, in real-time, the movement of protestors from public spaces to their homes. During the J6 witchhunt, the Federal government used similar apps to harrass and arrest people merely present in front the Capitol. In both examples, both the First and Fourth Amendments were violated.
But Ivy League students cannot, under any circumstances, be subjected to the same security surveillance the common citizen is subjected to walking into a supermarket because that would violate their free speech?
Some speech is freer than others.
Also, I am f*in’ tired of criminals walking around in face masks to avoid identification. It’s time to start demanding people wearing face masks in public carry proof of a documented medical reason to be doing so.
They cannot police themselves, that is why they now demand to not get caught. Teachers unions ruined generations of young Americans.
Always thought it was a violation of the First amendment. With few exceptions in certain states?
The issue here is not the existence of surveillance cameras but their role as yet another example of double-standards and the development a two-tiered society.
I am opposed to mass surveillance in public spaces, and do not accept the argument that because there is not expectation of privacy in public, private companies such as Flock have the right to record your movements and resell the data they collect on you. But if such systems are going to exist, then they should exist uniformly.
Realized I may not have been clear in my response to you earlier. I was commenting on the face mask issue and first amendment protections. I too have questions/issues about surveillance via cameras/cctv
Yes, I was not sure about what you meant.
I am also unsure about the issues regarding masks and 1A protections. Generally I am not in favor of the sort of requirements I suggested above. However, post-covid we have an issue with criminals exploiting the normalization of face-mask wearing in public. The problem needs to be addressed.
Perhaps the way I look at it is this: if you have no right to privacy in public and can be filmed anywhere at any time, then you have no right to the privacy of a face mask either. While I reject such thinking and would prefer a different interpretation of our rights in public spaces, if the law is to be interpreted in such a way then it should be applied consistently.
Perhaps an alternative solution would be to make wearing a mask in the commission of a crime an aggravating charge, but when you’re a political assassin I imagine such additional charges would not be a deterrent.
I will admit I do not have a good answer and am not offering one. Rather I’m raising a question which needs to be answered. This is the second-profile assassination within the last year in which the killer has worn a face mask. It will not be the last.
Every day is Trick-or-Treat.
Thank you again Sundance! You always bring the receipts. Nobody else had this. Those nonsensical deceptive news conferences over the last few days can now be explained.
The university needs to be bankrupted. Money is all they care about. Hit them where it hurts them most. They obviously do not care about the people, any of the people even the ones on their side. They are just useful idiots. Complete fools all. Then go after the AJ and police for dereliction of duty or whatever legal means that can be applied.
We are under attack and it needs to be put down or it’s only going to get worse. Their plan to win and shut down free speech is to go after our young brave Christian leader and put fear into anyone who dares to speak out. We need action now.
Please President Trump, put America first. Thank you for what you have done overseas to help our economy and stop the transfer out of wealth and bring it back but – PIVOT to the homeland.
Did other universities receive the same letter?
I think that anywhere known terrorist groups operate should be surveiled. Especially college campuses.
150 total. It’s in Sundance’s introduction up above.
Someone’s probably already said this, but it seems to me that the most important question is why those organizations did the bidding of the IC so that targeted assassinations like this could occur.
Were any other colleges contacted by the group of 34 leftist groups or was Brown the only one who responded? This may be used as a selection of a shooting site.
150 Total. Everybody is missing this info in Sundance’s introduction to this article. This is terrible.
Excellent question. Worth repeating if already said.
$$$
Adios $8 billion…nice knowing you…
The problem is much worse than anyone can imagine.
The “clean-up” of the “University Problem” is going to be long and painful. The obvious first step is to cut the flow of tax payer dollars. Then, the process of “sorting them out” has to occur.
Odd how ‘camera free zones’ movement has quickly replaced “gun free zones’ as the rallying cry for those who would destroy America, their need to 1) keep their victims unarmed and 2) keep the perpetrators free to continue their rampage really does speak volumes about the size and intention of the enemies within.
If you don’t think we are at war…..
Think again…..
NO MERCY!
the democrats and their voters are absolutely at war, real war. GOP voters are in a high school girls sleepover giggling pillow fight, even with dead bodies piling-up around them. After Charlie Kirk was murdered, the talking heads on the right all said that this was the big moment in history where our country turned away from liberalism and rejected censorship and violence. How’d that go? All of the democrats that got elected afterwards openly supported those engaging in violence and murder, some even advocating the murder of their opponents. GOP voters didn’t even bother to show-up to vote. That never happens on the left, not ever.
In the end, our nation and its people will get what they deserve, half for embracing communism and the other half for being too busy to try to stop it.
E X A C T L Y ! 😔😡
RINO globalists have us all too busy on the right…going to work to pay our bills…by design.
No, for turning away from God and His Laws!
How often do people go to Church on Sundays? Lots only shop!
They’re at war with us (DS, NWO, Global Governance, the Left, etc.); we’re not at war with them. How do you think that works out?
Exactly the point I was making……
The left, et al, need to be CRUSHED….
Not played with…
RINOs! SPIT!!!
Thank you for keeping a spotlight on this. It means a lot to me.
Why does everyone in the media repeatedly use the video of a random guy who walked around for 2 hours before the shooting, and tell us this IS the guy? How do they know it was him? How can they know of his intentions 2 hours before. They have not shown anything of him walking away after the shooting to verify or connect dots. This is a Big diversion. Am I missing something?
Tell a lie often enough and people will believe….
It’s all about the money.
Conscience be damned.
And Power!
Our universities are riddled with a disease called liberalism.
I believe it is terminal.
I taught 20 years at a trade school that was absorbed by the university system for my last 10 years.
5 years earlier than planned, I quit the job I loved out of sheer disgust.
I worked in the DC Metro area for 20 years. I saw what you saw; the DEI rot; shrews; the destruction of merit; people in positions of power who didn’t know their a$$ from anything.
Former NYS teacher. Retired after 34 years in the classroom just as the events of Spring of ’20 were starting to unfold, due to dei-forced censorship…imposed on me by administration after reading, with direction from the English Dept in our HS, an excerpt from Twelve Years A Slave. The author’s words, NOT mine. Was told the language was offensive, and that I was not brown skinned and therefore had no right to speak that language. A big multi dept meeting was arranged after a student and his mothers complained, and was told to read ‘around’ the language from that point on.
Made the decision to submit retirement papers that afternoon.
The censorship that seemed impossible in this country so shocked me in ’19, sans is absolutely commonplace now. Incredible
Irony is the student who initially complained was over it the next day.
Too bad the grownups couldn’t handle it.
I certainly understand your battle fatigue after 34 years but I sure wish that good teachers would stay on. Students need them now more than ever.

What are the other 3 schools?

Brown University Scrubs Muslim Student’s Profile As Search for Suspect intensifies

“Meanwhile, in Rhode Island, the Brown University shooter remains at large but, per that boob of a police chief, there is no danger to the public.
Usually, when the killer’s on the lam, the authorities release pertinent details that will assist in his speedy arrest.
There are many survivors of this attack – what we used to call witnesses – and yet all have apparently had reconstructive surgery, entered the witness protection programme and been relocated to rural Idaho.
So the police have issued a blurry long-range photograph of Bigfoot, taken in 1979 in the British Columbia interior.
Odd.
Or it would be if it weren’t becoming SOP in the multicultural utopia.”
Mark’s point about LE providing details to assist in identifying – and i’ll ASSUME arresting – the suspect is 100% on target.
it seems that just the opposite is happening – details to assist in the apprehension of a/the suspect are being deliberately obscured.
begs the question – do they want to catch this person or not?
Good reason not to send one’s kids to universities in RI.
Or to move there unless a rabid lib.
States on the “PVP server list” (places you should not go or live if you value your life and liberty)
VirginiaCaliforniaNew YorkNew JerseyRhode IslandMassachusettsNew MexicoMinnesotaOregon
It is getting pretty long.
Sorry, but what’s PVP server list?
No
I wouldn’t be surprised if the police chief and Brown University released a statement that the crime is unsolveable, and that they have given up and we should too.
They need to hand over “the lead” to another agency.
Incoming. Hopefully this young woman’s parents are loaded, or some big shot attorney is looking for a huge payday and ready to work.
We currently live in a country where it is acceptable for lunatic leftists to harass, assault and murder those who disagree with them.
We live in a country where leftist domestic terrorist organizations are protected by the FBI/UniParty and who are funded by We The Taxpayers without our consent.
Other than President Trump, there isn’t anyone in government trying to protect us from the lunatic left.
Each of us has the God-given right and responsibility to defend ourselves and our families against these evil monsters.
We have a 2nd Amendment that protects that right. We have a duty to avoid “gun free zones” and to boycott all activities therein.
We The Armed People of the United States must protect ourselves because nobody else will do it for us.
the people doing this stuff are getting a ton of help from people or groups with powerful connections. Just run-down the list over the past 2 years alone. None of these people they blame worked alone and it’s not just a bunch of angry trannys having a hormone drug hissy-fit. There are well-funded, well-connected groups leading this stuff.
My gut tells me the dots go back to our own government. There was a time I would have never believed that, but after watching what our government did to Trump, his family, and his friends since 2015, my mind has been completely changed. Our government is that wicked and Blondi and Bollywood are there to protect the enterprise, not expose it.
My gut says the same as yours, certainly.
Well, The Fed (SPIT) is the root of the problem, imho!
TY
Obama tried to cram everyone into “college” for one reason only. He wanted to brag he was the President who had the most college graduates during his administration.
Obama failed and he left one more trail of destruction across another national institution, just to serve his own narcissism and malignant anti-American agenda.
Sheesh. The plot begins to sicken.
Why does the AG say, “that depicts this individual?”
Implied is that there is footage depicting others.
Have we then been given all the footage?
“Depicts this individual”
How would they know?
So, they got nuthin.
I think he said too much.
😡😡🤬😠
The sign language person though. Lordy what a freak show
She contributes to the Circus that is this case…
See my comment about eyes in the sky…
Is it just me or is the Sign Language ghoul trans?
Sounds like some hugh lawsuits coming from the victims of this shooting and the following cover-up they are doing.
Occam’s Razor. Again. Too easy.
And while we’re at it: Have another look at the Secret Service in Butler, PA in 2024, shall we?
Don’t forget to add Las Vegas to that list..
Don’t forget the FBI hosing down the roof like crime scene cleanup.
I know Brown is a liberal University (a redundancy), but I find it disgusting that not a single witness has the courage to contact Fox or NewsMax, etc., to report what was shouted at the beginning of the assault.
Especially if those meeting with the victim were “friends”.
Would you not guess that they have been counseled?
Control is a reaction to fear….
They have lost control….
This is the step beyond losing control….
Violence….
Since that letter was sent to 150 total colleges and universities, let’s hope the rest of them have better sense than to cut off the CCTV systems. Of course many of the colleges and universities are liberal and may fall prey to the propaganda about “free speech”. BUT treepers are missing that sentence in the introduction.
I’ve posted this 3 times already. My job is done. I believe we need martial law to stop these creeps. JMHO.
Can’t the FBI (not that they are great but at least now perhaps slightly better for an investigation like this) take over when locals show incompetence/corruption (or at least clearly not following proper protocol?) Or, is that only in movies?

””Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness” is a foundational phrase from the U.S. Declaration of Independence, stating that all people have inherent, unalienable rights to live freely, make choices, and seek fulfillment, with government’s role being to protect these rights, inspired by Enlightenment thinkers like John Locke.” It is increasingly apparent that this has now come into conflict with the First Amendment.
I feel that the time has come for Americans to decide for themselves which they value more – their life and liberty, or their freedom of expression. In today’s society which is governed by technology, surveillance tools, and AI, it is becoming virtually impossible to have both. I think about COVID-19, and the mRNA vaccine that Americans were mandated to take. The argument for the mandate was to ensure that the safety and security of all peoples would not be placed in jeopardy by those who refused the mandate.
One could extrapolate from that prevalent argument, that the use of surveillance at Brown University would ensure that the safety and security of ALL STUDENTS attending it would NOT BE PLACED IN JEOPARDY as it was if the CCTV cameras were in fact closed down.
The apparent lack of surveillance footage of the shooter, and the poor quality of what footage there is, reminds me of what we knew about the J6 bomber up until just recently. Is it also going to take five years to identify the shooter? Is the shooter’s identity already suspected by the authorities? If so, is his motive just a little bit too politically inconvenient for them?
Sue them into the stone age!
Further back!
I think the foundation for compensational lawsuits just grew by a factor of twenty. I hope they drain the entire endowment and have to sell off the campus to a shady somali nonprofit group for a homeless shelter to pay all the judgments.
No Somali group! How about sell it to Hillsdale for $0.01? New England could definitely use one of their campuses!!!
I like your idea much better.
For legal reasons and respect for Sundance’s precious website please add ALLEGED in front of every word.
However, the “coincidences” in what seems to be willfully hidden are way too many to swallow.
How likely is it that the ALLEGED murderer is already well known but cannot be disclosed because it fits multiple niches of “protected categories” and it would be a huge scandal – in terms of LGBTQQQ+++, being a Hamasian (Tucker’s new best friends), and a “protesting student”. THREE strikes.
Compare for yourselves the visual evidence of the alleged shooter vs that of the Brown University protected person of interest. . . and make up your own mind.
Remember, everybody is considered innocent until proven otherwise and blah-blah.
Please do not look at “Coincidences” as they do not exist. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Can we say apparent instead of alleged?
It’s too late for Brown, but what about the other 149 colleges?
The big question is whether or not the shooter was from one of the organizations asking for the shutdown of the cameras.
Idiots. Dangerous ones at that.
OK…here is a question…am asking with serious intent…and functioning on my own highly caffeinated hypothesis of “If I can think it, ‘they’ have already done it”….
We have all those satellites and eyes in the skies,…that can read and track our license plates, in our freaking driveways….And Cook County IL can track a car anywhere in that region-we had a missing staff member once, they found her within an hour)…
And there is no ability to find an individual walking in a certain longitude/latitude? On google street view? Or can google make the human disappear?
The ineptitude is unbelievable…so which now leads me to this idea…..so there is a ‘Fact Sheet’ from July of 2025, spelling out the punishment received by Brown University…and safety was clearly mentioned in that document…
Can the feds become formally involved as the events clearly show a lack of compliance? Taking it out of the hands of the local yokels who have “the lead” in this situation?
“SECURING HISTORIC SETTLEMENT WITH BROWN UNIVERSITY: Today, President Donald J. Trump secured a historic settlement with Brown University to restore fairness, merit, and safety in higher education.”

Asking for a friend…not suicidal…
Google street view is not a real time service, it is periodically updated (months or years)
I did not know the specifics of how it is updated…thank you…another thought…how about the cars with the computers…?
Chicago has all those traffic cams in order to generate computer generated traffic tickets, a great source of revenue for the city. A few miles over and you get a ticket in the mail. A SIDE benefit is that they have eyes on the streets that can be monitored and the recordings reviewed for other reasons, like tracking a carjacked car to the door of the guy who stole it and drove it home. Knock knock. Yeah, they are that stupid.
Antifa cannot exist without the Feds. This smacks of a professional job.
