    Can someone explain for the unread what they are doing that caused someone to “break it up?”

    I understand PROTESTING but were there justifying instances of damage, looting, violence?

    Please, if you’re just as uninformed as me don’t comment. There’s enough people just shouting shit these days.

      Most of them in this article, all but one, were arrested for trespassing. The one was arrested for suspected assault with a deadly weapon.

      As has been the practice with these protests. The campuses have suspended the protesting students, which allows them to be trespassed.

      The reason is they are protesting for the “wrong” side in the eyes of the media machine.

      As lethargic as I have become to the world and all the bullshit. For some reason this is the last straw for me. If people can’t see how the media works to sway us in certain ways and will just gas light us then I don’t know what to say, but I will be becoming more radical from this point on.

        Wow. Ok, that’s despicable. Suspended for what? I hope some pro bono lawyers ACLU will start hitting these colleges in the pocketbook.

        It’s all they understand.

          Suspended for having an unpopular (with the establishment) opinion. It’s funny how young people across the country are against genocide. It’s almost as though the older generations are completely out of touch. Kind of like with the USA war of aggression in East Asia (Vietnam) protests back in the day.

          The olds have been indoctrinated to think Israel can do no wrong. They are steadfast against finding out that they were themselves wrong.
