   Oh, and to get back to campus violence:

   “Within minutes, police had wreaked havoc on the quad. They threw tear gas, fired pepper balls, and repeatedly tased a Black medic after he had already been handcuffed and thrown to the ground. Dr. Caroline Fohlin, a well-known economics professor who happens to be married to the dean of students, came over to a group of officers who had a student pinned to the ground. “What are you doing?” she asks incredulously. Almost immediately, police turn around and slam her down on the concrete. Her glasses are knocked askew; she cries out, almost in disbelief, “I’m a professor!” She was charged with battery.”

   You know the Likud charter includes the following, right?

   “The right of the Jewish people to the land of Israel is eternal and indisputable… therefore, Judea and Samaria will not be handed to any foreign administration; between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty.”

   —Likud Party Platform, 1977

   “LA Times reports UCLA encampment was attacked by 200 pro-Israel counter protesters who screamed “Second Nakba!” and tore down encampment barriers.”

   That’s property damage. Violence is more like the cops throwing unrestisting people to the ground and tasing them, or peppers praying groups of non-violent protestors, or setting up sniper teams. Try reading more than the MSM.

   The violence has generally, but not exclusively, been perpetrated by the cops.

   No, they don’t cancel. It’s read as per second per second, it’s acceleration, i.e. the rate at which velocity changes.

    Yup. But then dictatorships don’t much bother with trials for the former #1 guy.
