It’s telling that most universities immediately rejected divestment. Most of these schools have huge endowments, and those investments can’t be returning that fabulous a return that you have to keep them. That’s making me very suspicious. Breaking into buildings isn’t the answer though. However, it was interesting that the Orange Fuhrer wanted them all bashed in by the police for doing exactly what the 1/6 people did. Guess someone told him that these people are mostly non-white.
Mitch Daniels’ stock dropped today. (Daniels was governor of Indiana and is president of Purdue.) He expressed appalling opinions of how to deal with these protests, the same sort of attitude that led to Kent State. I have always disagreed with Daniels politics. None the less, he seemed to be a competent administrator for the university. I have, until today, considered him a thoughtful, intelligent man. I even thought that his presence in a US presidential campaign would have elevated the process above its usual nauseating nadir. But this article today in the Indy Star reversed all the positive aspects of my opinion; Daniels is nothing more that a grumpy old man who, besides knowing the cost of everything and the value of nothing, is now putting forward failed policies of the past as a way to deal with protests of the present.
The NYPD professionally removed the junior jihadists from Hamilton Hall and their illegal encampment at Columbia at the request of the university. No shots were fired, no one was killed.
The LAPD professionally removed the leftist anarchists from their illegal encampment at UCLA. Word has it their demand for vegan food was not fulfilled. Some leftists tried to stand up to police, but go exactly what they deserved, zip tied like wild animals and hauled off. My absolute favorite was a couple of these idiots who tried to rush the police with pieces of Rubbermaid trash cans as shields. The cops flattened these little maggots effortlessly. No one was killed.
In both instances these little darlings left piles of trash and debris, and damaged property for others to clean up. So much for caring for Mother Earth.
At UNC-CH, these junior jihadists removed OUR American flag and replaced it with a foreign flag. Some patriots arrived and protected that American flag, despite the junior jihadists lobbing bottles and other objects their way, raised that flag and sang our national anthem. I’ll side with the patriots.
These pro-terrorist useful idiots have the right to protest “peaceably” all they want, but they have crossed that line many, many times. When they cross that line there are consequences.
At a number of universities, negotiations have led to deals that have given each side some of what they want. I suspect for some extremists (both sides), that’s a “loss”. Very sad.
The best way to discredit a peaceful protest, is to send in a bunch of troublemakers. Think about that. Bunch a kids, holding up signs, next thing, some guy is busting windows. Why?
I’d made a Kent State reference in a right wing political comic only to be told that those kids deserved it for damaging property and scaring the Guardsmen. What a sick world some of those MAGAs mentally live in.
Most of these protests have not been violent or as Toad and right-wing cartoonists claim, “pro-terrorists.” That’s BS. I’ve actually visited one of these colleges during the protests and I found none of the stuff they’ve described. I wonder if Toadboy or any of our right-wing friends have visited these campuses to verify their claims. It’s weird how much they enjoy watching kids get beat up by cops. It’s weird that they hate these kids but claim January 6 terrorists were patriots and tourists.
Here’s the thing: Shut up about these protests until you recognize January 6 was an insurrection.
Clay said the trolls should shut up about the protests until they admit the matter of objective reality that January 6th was an insurrection. No, until they admit the matter of objective reality that January 6th was an insurrection, they should shut up about EVERYTHING.
protesting in favor of a terrorist organization Hamas who started this war, does not relate to protesting about an war we we fighting to bail out the French

I’ve noticed the protests have been peaceful until right-wing agitators come in and start the violence.

Stand behind your National Guard, standing in front of them is dangerous.
The Trump admin would have the military arrest every protester and send them to some camp in a red state to be guarded with Magas with AR-15s.
