I think this student is looking for a payday and the group wants some media attention. have you ever been to the jupiter campus, there are camera's in the parking lot as well if there was a protest, i think campus police was already there.

Pretty sure campus police escorted MJS to her car so they were definitely there.

This is a minor incident but Saunders (and the university as a whole) are taking a beating right now. MJS in particular is coming off as cold and oblivious - and meanwhile FAU is getting whacked right and left with things, from Tracy to the GEO Group fiasco to the Jesus Stomping, all within a couples months of each other.  All universities go through ups and downs in the media but this is all happening so close to each other and on a national level to boot.

We could really use some positivity in the press right now.

A beating left and right and on a National level?  Honestly, if I didn't read this site every day, I wouldn't have heard of any of these things (other then the Stadium name a month ago).  In fact, because of this site, I DO know about them, and I couldn't possibly care any less about them….I'm sure 99.99% of the rest of the world feels the same way.

It's funny that there are 5 or 6 people still protesting.  They know it's a non-story at this point, so they are trying to make someone getting inadvertently bumped by a side mirror into a "hit-and-run" a story to get some attention.  It's really pretty pathetic at this point.

Honestly, I could care less about MJ bumping into a protester. The protester made a personal choice to put herself in harms way. What really pisses me off is this Jesus Stomping 101.  I'm actually embarrassed to call myself an alumni.

I guarantee if it was "Koran Stomping 101" the government would be involved and the school would be on alert for a terrorist attack.

What a bunch of dumbarses.

UPDATE: Florida Atlantic University apologizes for Jesus Stomping 101 - Yahoo! News

I did an FAU google search and only got a few articles about this incident. None of them are significant web news publications. Just the usual minor publications and the university press. No Herald, PPB, SS, CNN, etc.

I don't know any details but I would say the women probably made it real easy to be bumped by the mirror. This doesn't make much sense since I'm sure MJ is aware of her exposure and how it affects the university.

As you probably know then - since it was posted here as well - Anderson Cooper gave us crap about the Professor Tracy incident and the GEO Group issue was both a first page story on Yahoo (IIRC) and covered by Stephen Colbert. We don't usually draw that kind of attention. Furthermore, the Yahoo update on the Jesus Stomping story literally says, "The story about the Florida Atlantic University student who says he ended up suspended because he refused to stomp on a piece of paper bearing the word “JESUS” has really taken off nationally."

People might not be rioting in California about these things but they're certainly not isolated incidents.  Jarvis not getting his contract for awhile was an isolated incident - it was big on here but nowhere else. This whole 'MJS hitting a student with her car' story is an isolated incident, though I'm sure the protestors would like for it to be more than it is.

Still, it's actually interesting to see how these kinds of things have spread across the internet. People in other states who clearly have no connection to FAU are "demanding an apology" for these things. FAU's Facebook page has complaints, Twitter is lighting up with random anti-Democrats complaining about #religiousfreedom and I even saw that someone brought it up on Google Reviews of the school last night.

Makes me wish that people put as much effort into relaying good news as the bad news.
