US government be like - Sending 3.8 billion to a country that has higher per capita income = GOOD. Students protesting for their tax money to be kept in the country = BAD

"Safety is our highest priority." Because they've thrown education out the window.

Interesting how they don't like occupation when it is happening to them.

Student setting up encampments in Berkeley, California. Wasn't Berkeley always full of anarchists since the 1960's?

Interesting, the cops have no idea, the protesters have no idea! 😮

I hope the police and collage put a black mark on there certificate of good behaviour

[J-mtbf]

This is what our universities have come to. Sad day for us Americans.

I'm surprised they were able to assemble all of those tents.

How do you expect from a bunch of collage kids who smoke weed all day to think anything through.

[devonforsure]

Imagine paying 240k for schooling and having to deal with this

[akko]

Keep protesting kids! Don’t let anyone take away your 1st amendment rights! Say whatever you want to say..the way you wanna say it! While at it, play some Rage Against the Machine songs!

[joejoeMan]

recruiters are researching who the protesters are as they expect their work positions to become available for new candidates

[iane]

Some of the most privileged people in the world protesting on behalf of those that hate them. Comedy.

I’m so glad my daughter went to local college

[__wP]

What mommy and daddy’s money gets you 😂😂😂

[damk]

Enjoy being on the no fly list kids. Plan a good staycation next spring break and enjoy your terminal student loan debt because the only thing you learned in college was how to be offended by things that have nothing to do with you. Not a very marketable skill set.

[gigitony]

These university students instead of studying loves to take part in stuff which they dont understand 😂😂.

[shellysmith]

time to defund the Ivy League then....

[civtxmf]

They don't know what "peaceful" means.

[johnprendergast]

Students taking a long walk on a short plank ---Who sold this cause to them so easily ...?
