If you don't know your history, you will repeat it!! Pretty scary!

Why aren't any of those people going to Palestine to help out if they feel that strongly?

[patriot]

Those aren't mere police, those are Texas State Troopers.

"Push me forward!" - protester to person behind her.

"I'll push forward for you." - cop

Quick question. Do they know what would happen to them if they got a free ride to Palestine?

[Eddie-ig]

Why are they not protesting the treatment of our veterans, or our homeless, ??

The First Amendment's right to "peaceably assemble" does NOT mean the right to block access to streets, buildings, roads, nor to encamp on private property and trash the place.

The misguided, the lazy, the crazy, the america haters & the outside agitators found out the hard way; Rioting in Texas isn’t allowed.

All red donors to these colleges need to cut ties financially!

[JamesR]

They act like fools then cry about it. Ridiculous.

[lindacamacho]

These are the same big babies who will cry police brutality when they get arrested. Wake up America!

[patriciaotoole]

Those horses are clidsdales. I saw then to disperse a crowed. They just spun around, bodies went everywhere. Respect mother nature.

[fredflintstone]

If you continue to arrest the non student agitators, these social clubs will cease to exist

[JoseDiaz-zpu]

I can’t believe this is our society now 😒

[j.d.]

The chanting at these protests seem SO juvenile, yet they want to be taken seriously!

[timberwolf]

Bet 50 percent of them can't name the river or the sea....

[JACKKEYHOE]

OUR CHILDREN ARE COMPLETE FOOLS WHO STAND FOR NOTHING AND FALL FOR EVERYTHING. THIS MAKES ME SICK

[Carla]

It is funny that those pro palestinians post lies but block your answers. What are you afraid of? The truth???

[calvinjohnson]

Why are 90% of them wearing masks if they are so proud of their cause?

[Mika-phku]

So do these people just not know that they would be lynched in Palestine?
