Yep, same professional protestors that flooded the streets in 2020 in the BLM riots. They don't care about the cause, their goal is just to cause havok. The cause is convenient to get bodies out there so they can do things like throw bricks or light buildings on fire with cover. That's why they are violent to media, if they catch media in there filming faces they will assault them. Tbh I haven't paid much attention to these protests because they all are the same now.

The BLM protests were much more meaningful in both numbers and legitimacy because they were protesting something that was happening in this country. They of course did bring out all kinds, including paid agitators and elements of mayhem (with both protesters and counter-protesters participating) which aren't present now.

The current campus protests are quite different. They don't' have much mindshare with Americans and they don't even really know or care why they are protesting.

There is very little violence in these campus protests, just mostly slacktivism and hackey sack in the quad. Lots of pointless low energy stuff like Harvard students intermittently fasting for Gaza (12 hour hunger strike LOL).

They're having fun though!

This seems to be an organic, campus-based event of students who do "care about the cause" and are protesting peacefully, as opposed to going around and burning down downtown city blocks. As well many of these protests are being forcefully suppressed right now, unlike during the BLM circus.

The stuff that's being reported on astroturfed conservative sites is no better than the kind of propaganda you have on MSNBC or Fox.

Maybe you should read a few news stories before you start tossing around accusations of brick throwing and building burning. I haven't followed things very closely either, but I would have noticed pictures of burning buildings.

Maybe you should have a nice warm glass of STFU. Those things happened under BLM. We've already seen them attacking cops when they were asked to remove their tents lol.

The way these students are being treated is odious. Time for these campuses to have their own FSM.

Obviously I find a lot of the tactics/arguments behind these Columbia protests stupid, but correct me if I'm wrong: they are basically just occupying one block on campus? One that people can easily walk around and otherwise go about their business?


(source)

Not sure that this requires a major police response. Yes, legally the school can call for it (trespassing and all that), but is it really worth the trouble?

USC just cancelled their main graduation ceremony because of the anti-Israel protests. Surely, at the least these are disruptive protests, right?

I suspect this is also an overreaction.

The party of limited government is fine with locking up peaceful protesters and blaming them for administrative / police overreactions

Source? Last time I checked, the party of unlimited government did the same with the peaceful protestors on Jan 7.

Peaceful?

Yessir, some were.

I don't think the police had the ability to make such distinctions while the Capitol was being stormed, but okay bud.

This discussion stems from the political prosecutor's use of the obstruction law on the Jan 7 protestors, not whether or not the police were making distinctions on the spot. You took this off course.

---

I'm not aware of any Jan 7 protests. What were they about?

So when do we have the conversation about George Soros funding protests in our country every election season?

For those who still have any doubt about who was behind the election year riots in the summer of 2020, and who's behind this election year protests on school campuses across the country.
