If you told me that Julie wrote that Columbian woman’s speech about humanitarian aid (i.e., we won’t drink tap water in this building we’ve occupied for 8hrs), I’d buy it.

Is that the woman claiming they have meal tickets and why isn't food being brought in?

The U.S. has a long history of honorable civil disobedience, but these goofs don't seem to understand what that means. The entire point of your acts of conscience is to suffer the consequences. These people are fucking dilettantes.

That she is.

“Are you saying they won’t let you go get food and bring it in?”

“Well, ummm, no, not that I’m aware of.”

The problem with these protests is the same underlying problem with BLM and January 6. You are engaging in one of the following illegal activities, while at the same time have every right to express free speech otherwise:

-violence towards others,
-property damage,
-trespassing

I think the French Revolution is instructive in letting us know what happens when you bow to the mob. That is why we need the rule of law.

No one seems to see the irony in the state being immediately and swiftly called in to crush a protest on behalf of Israel? "There's so much anti-semitism here that anything we deem anti-semitism is immediately believed and acted upon"

I don't think it's trespassing when the university isn't asking them to leave.

Aside from Jan 6, these are the same fucking people that are at every one of these protests. Look at any of the pictures and you will see the easter egg colored hair hotties from the lgbtq guild of professional protestors. This is not an organic protest. Its coordinated, bankrolled and influenced. The faster they end this then least likely it is to devolve into Rittenhouse vs guttertrash drifters in a deathmatch.

You’re kidding right? Columbia set a 2:00 deadline for them to disburse. Then they broke into a building and barricaded themselves in.

You know how trespassing works, right? You ask the person(s) to leave. If they refuse you call the police- in this case the NYPD- and have them trespassed. The administration is too squeamish to do that.

I wonder how they thought protesting in favor of Hamas would end.

im betting the organizers would have loved nothing more than to have a number of the student protesters get their heads caved in by police

I wonder how many dopey frat guys they got to show up thinking they were protesting in favor of Hamms.

Being physically removed and having their belongings taken seems a bit too on the nose.

incredible how quickly the line that all protest is in favor of Hamas canard has caught on, like all criticism of Israel is anti-semitism. Genuinely remarkable, almost like Israel and it's supporters aren't really being harmed at all by any of these protests and it's all a big distraction from what they're doing halfway across the world.

finally, something me and the organizers can share common ground on.

They should have consulted with the 'Nam protesters that are still successfully occupying campus buildings to this very day.

Nah, they're just useful idiots. I sure wish someday that a puppetmaster gets his just due. Just once. Probably too much to ask.

is it so hard to believe that there are actually people that see what's happening in Gaza and feel compelled to protest? How did everyone get this cynical? Like what level of human suffering would be enough for you to believe that protesters weren't just puppets for some larger, nefarious goal? I'm also curious what is being accomplished by your puppet master in this scenario.

Usually the puppetmaster for all left wing protests is Soros for this line of thinking

_________________

It's pretty simple. I've seen interviews with protestors. They couldn't find their ass with both hands. But good effort with "level of suffering" guilt trip.

I know you already feel bad cause that wasn't a guilt trip directed at you, but again, who is the puppetmaster and what are they trying to accomplish?

_________________

I know it wasn't directed at me. I'm guiltless.

The Davos crowd. What they are trying to accomplish is destruction of liberty and private ownership. Private sector unions didn't kill themselves. They needed to pit the common people against each other. Every day it goes on in a large swath of situations. We just got done with one of the most divisive situation of my lifetime, COVID, with zero consequences for the puppetmasters.

The Davos crowd wants to destroy private ownership? Davos is communist?
