In any movement started by the radical left, a key component to fanning the flames and keeping the masses fired up is to turn someone involved in it into a symbol, someone who will serve as an example of why they must keep up the fight and see the “mission” through.
We saw it, for instance, with the Occupy Wall Street protests where people in wheelchairs were purposely put in the front rows of protest lines.
The latest incarnation of OWS, the anti-Israel demonstrations, is very similar in nature, as Professor Jacobson pointed out in a recent Fox News interview.
And during one such demonstration that took place this week in Georgia, the anti-Israel left found their next symbol, an economics professor from Emory University whose Thursday arrest was caught on tape by CNN, something that instantly turned her into a progressive icon among anti-Israel activists and their coddlers in higher education.
In a shortened video clip shared to the Twitter machine and which has been viewed nearly eight million times as of this writing, we see Professor Caroline Fohlin telling a police officer to “stop it” in the middle of a campus protest as the officer tells her to “get down” as he is about to arrest her. She continues to refuse to get on the ground, so he maneuvers her there himself, and soon after is assisted by another officer while Fohlin claims her head hit the concrete.
During her arrest, Fohlin is heard yelling “I’m a professor!”
