Several protesters arrested at UT Austin: 'These protesters belong in jail,' Abbott says

"Arrests being made right now & will continue until the crowd disperses," Abbott said via social media. "These protesters belong in jail. Antisemitism will not be tolerated in Texas. Period. Students joining in hate-filled, antisemitic protests at any public college or university in Texas should be expelled."

God bless the brave, beautiful young students! Thank you for having a moral compass and standing up for what is right! You are truly virtuous and heroic! So amazed by all of you! 👏❤️🇵🇸

Wow these students really need to become educated themselves. Everyone in this country has the right to protest. I do not agree with what they're protesting on, but I don't have to, and the beauty of this country is they have the right to protest for whatever reason they want to protest on. They do not have the right to incite violence, or threaten. If that line is crossed, put them in jail

They FAFO! This is not New York or California.

Governor Abbott is the one who should be in jail. He needs a reminder that he is the Governor of Texas not an enforcer for Israel.

Walk out of class get expelled. Then a demand for immediate payment in full on your student debt. Then deportation to your location of choice. I assume it's Gaza.

I think this is as funny as it gets. They were on private property and asked to leave. Just because they might attend college there does not give them the right to disrupt daily classes and other people's ability to come and go. Just because you might pay tuition there does mean you own the place. UT Austin granted is a public institution, the land is privately owned by the campus. UT Austin got tired of them idiots being there and called in the State Trooper's and local Police to clear the crowd. It was up to them to comply and disperse but they chose the hard way. It's not the Police or the Troopers fault. What's funny is how stupid the protestors really are. Cry baby!!! Tear gas is no fun!!! Lol.
