The 4th of July is a time of crisis?

It is this year because of him, especially since he almost brought America into war with Iran over a drone, and his numerous human rights abuses throughout his run.

Lol okay.

I give Mr. Ngo props.  He went into the lion den like a soldier knowing full well sh*t could jump off and took one for the team.  If you are going to talk about how violent Antifa is, going into the group and presenting yourself like the lamb before the slaughter is one way to prove your point. 

I mentioned this earlier but Antifa came to him not the other way around. It was a right wing protest.

It doesn't matter about who protest it was. There were 2 groups at this protest and somehow Mr. Ngo finds himself in the middle of the Antifa group.  I watched multiple videos and it doesn't seem like they were hunting for him, he chose to walk amongst them.  In other words, he knew he had a target on his back and he walked into the their group knowing sh*t could jump off.  Its not like this isn't the first time he has done this.  This is the type of game he plays, high risk, high reward.

WHta video? From what I see here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCty7a9o4Qs a guy stole his camera and he went after the guy and ended up in the middle of the Antifa protestors.

Just to point out some english speaking countries use college and university differently.  

In the US, college is almost a synonym for university.  For a lot of schools, it is used interchangeably. Some states have standards, that an education body can't call themselves a university unless they offer doctorate programs.  

A "technical college" in the US is where you would get a "2 year degree" or certificate. 

A college/university tend to offer "4 year degrees", or even higher. 

In the UK, college is usually for the ages 16-19 (like US high school).  And you'd usually go to university after that.  

I don't know how Australia uses the two terms, but it sounds like the US technical college is similar in usage, where university is similar to how US uses college/university.

Basically we have:

Kindergarten/Pre-School, Primary School, High School, Technical College and then University.

For example I dropped out of High-School early on and went straight into the Technical College back in the 90's.

ANTIFA need to be shut down, so does the right-wing opponents which are just as extreme... The further left or right you go, the more they are the same.

In saying that, ANTIFA tends to gain prominence whenever fascism grows in prominence, this isn't actually the first time we have seen this kind of thing historically... Both sides are as bad as each other to be honest.

I don't think these groups should be forced to shut down. Yeah they're pretty toxic and should be condemned but they have the right to protest their far right and far left ideals. Police departments should do better jobs at trying to stop these encounters from getting out of control.

Let me compare it to Luxembourg, where we have both public and private schools on all levels except universities (we got only one since the country is pretty small). Their curriculum is identical, they teach exactly the same stuff, and the level of the teachers and teachings are also pretty much the same. The (identical) school books are also provided in both cases. So, what's the advantage of a private school then, you might ask? Well, the private school has some extra options:

  1. Extra tutoring with specific teachers (may cost some extra if overused).
  2. (Often, but not always) better food in the cantina.
  3. Special options for sportsmen who would have to train and/or be on competitions while they would normally be supposed to be at school (Only applies to private schools with a specific sports section).
  4. Dorms. Due to small size of the country, students go normally home after school, thus public schools have no dorms. But kids of parents who have to travel a lot for work purposes often choose a private school for that exact reason
  5. Religious education: There's one private catholic lyceum which additionally to the curriculum has bible teachings similar to Sunday school.

If you need or are looking specifically for any of these points, then a private school would be interesting in Luxembourg. If not, you can just as well go to public schools.

So I must ask, what do you define as a University? Virtually all of our colleges here are labeled "University of Blankity blank".

I'm asking because I'm genuinely curious if the "free" schooling people receive in other countries is vastly different from what many want to be free here.

Oh,outside of the US universities are the schools for the highest grades and standing above colleges.

Exactly this.

Also while we're at it, the University in Luxembourg has no tuition fees at all, though you have to make a semester abroad first (or simply have been from a foreign school) to be admitted to the University, lending to it's international character.

Edit: if you want to know more about the Uni.lu (yes, that's the official name of Luxembourgs University): https://wwwen.uni.lu/prospective_students

They have the right to protest... Until they don't.
Violence and extremism is where the line should be drawn... No exception.

You cannot put this all on the Police, they are only so many and if the crowds on both sides are big they will not have enough personnel. The thing about these groups is once they go violent, then they place themselves in the position to be shut down, denied rights to public protest or assemble. Now the key is if the other side had the opportunity would they plant people to commit violence in the name of the other side.  Oh the games we can play once regulations starts flying around.
