lagilman | A Bright Light in Gainesville...

So, noted white supremacist and general PoS Richard Spencer is giving a speech at the University of Florida, in Gainesville.  And the University, in a rather amazing show of WTFkery, has allowed Spencer's camp to screen journalists, only allowing "approved" ones press access.  Their excuse "they rented the hall, it's their event."

Apparently, University of Florida is disclaiming any responsibility for anything that happens within a rented hall on their property.  That can only end well, don't you think?  I wonder what their journalism department has to say about freedom of the press, these days?  (feel free to ask them)

But! There is a bright light in Gainesville (actually, quite a few, but one I'm showcasing in particular).  Alligator Brewing Co. 

If you bring in a (free) ticket to the abovementioned event, before the event, you can exchange it for a beer, thereby a) getting a free beer and b) leaving an empty seat in the hall, as they will dispose of said ticket.

Alligator, in the name of decent folk, beer drinking or otherwise, everywhere, we salute you.
