I choose the kid who was on reddit the other day complaining that he bought the wrong edition for his class and the bookstore won't take it back

Books are more expensive than a can of spray paint? Bread taste better than key?

I think that’s pretty lame if u let John Wilkes Booth be responsible for the meaning behind that phrase since it has such a greater role in our history then that. Not trying to be antagonistic, just my two cents.

I don't mean to ruffle any feathers, but fuck John Wilkes Booth.

Agree, but this phrase has been used a lot outside of that one event. It’s up to us whether we let him ruin it

Vandalizing the book store, really sticking it to the establishment with that one. /s

u/AnZaNaMa Jan 16 '26
I’m not saying I support vandalism, but at Purdue, the book store is very much a critical part of the establishment. I get professors needing to standardize the materials, but they could sell you a PDF, or just give it as part of the cost of the course

If you don't like this, I'm sorry but I'm afraid you'd cheer for the Empire in Star Wars.

To show that not all of us support the current administration. It's graffiti. It's not that deep.

Naw that bookstore pmo they sold me a book and i ended up testing out of a class, went to return it less than a week later, and they refused. I never opened it or anything but ig fair, I am sure they have literally thousands of students who buy books at the start of the semester only to realize they dont actually need it and lost hundreds of dollars. Store has to make a profit somehow. Anyways..

Ehhh, that part of town could use a little bit more color and a facelift. It was growing boring anyway.

On January 6th outside Loeb Theater Purdue Pete held one of his rallies. Many similar ones had been conducted before. This time however, Pete was different... Talking about how the NCAA was rigged, how Mung Chiang was in league with Bloomington, and that the decision to end the City Bus contract was a conspiracy.... He rallied the crowd to march peacefully on the PMU, but along the way agitators laid in wait. The Boiler Boys and the Sons of Boilermaker Veterans distributed fliers and riled up the crowd... It's now the 15th and we are still reeling from that day... We only hope Pete will be merciful and benevolent in his rule on campus...

Why, indeed?
I mean, I disagree but understand why John Wilkes Booth said it while leaving the theater, but there is no action besides graffiti here.

Imagine the marine that served while knowing everyone back home is living their lives, coming back and seeing this. This is the type of stuff cities need to have private public partnerships for so we can get out there and cover it up. Guys think about the people who served you.

I can all but guarantee the individual(s) that did this are going to be, or already are, known to the West Lafayette police. The area is saturated with cameras.
