    Sounds like she belongs.

    Screenshot of Ferber’s tweets obtained by Rantz show that she posted a Twitter poll saying she was sitting next to a couple of “white male students organizing a ‘Beers for Brett’ event,” then asked what she should throw at them, her “water bottle,” her “entire backpack,” or her “insides.” Her “insides” won with 60 percent of the vote.

    Meanwhile, he sounds like a pussy.

    Swanson said the situation is just “very odd.” He said it makes him feel like “the tension between liberals on campus and conservatives is getting worse.”

    “The idea that someone would be so mad about us being College Republicans that they would secretly and illegally record us for ‘useful information’ is crazy,” he told The Fix.

    I’m not a lawyer (nor do I play one on TV), but isn’t it illegal to record conversations without consent of at least one party of the conversation?

    If so, (assuming this website isn’t fake news) what that TA did was bullshit.

    I think it depends on the state you are in

    Looks like Washington State is a two-party consent state:

    I’m seeing more and more of these type of cases as smartphones become more ubiquitous and people seem to give less thought to privacy. I’d be mortified if I was having a private conversation with someone at a restaurant and it was recorded and thrown up on social media.
