NOW WE ARE NEGOTIATING WITH TERRORISTS???

She was asked: "did you yourself see any violence"? Simple question. Her answer: uh...well, uhhhh". We ALL understand. Tak'em to jail and throw away the key.

Basic rules to protesting . No hate speech, vandalism, and violence . Once you cross any of those lines.You've LOST !!!

[DustyVid]

Tell that to the police that had horrible things said to them when they were just doing their job

[yftrlhf]

Feeling Wow, that's becoming a commonly used excuse to discriminate against someone you don't agree with.

[DustyVid]

I think the school should think about restraining orders on the ones that are non-students doing this on the campus

[DustyVid]

I agree with the suspensions and I think it should go further than that

[robertmcginness]

What of the genocidal calls against Jews. " River to sea." Etc.. is that accurate?

If you're not a student, protest outside the campus, as a supplement protest. Learn your laws, and demonstrate peacefully.

It's a shame on US democracy and freedom of speech, I don't believe we can't criticize some countries who are receiving money from American Tax payers

[susanv]

Camping on private property is very different from a peaceful protest. Some students are not on any side of this and just want to go to their classes.

[RoutesRootsEthnographics]

Agent Provocateurs. Happens every just protest

[deeannakim]

It is amazing that agitators and aggressor call themselves victims.

[deeannakim]

Permanent criminal records for every protester who stayed when authorities asked people to leave when chaos started to occur.

[tombentley]

If that is the real case—-then the independent idiots or useful idiots need to stay home and let the cops take care of it. It took the lives of some innocent idiots to end the college riots in Kent State university in the early 70s.

The President needs to speak to the American people & explain the reason for his continued support of the war.

[ozkanokur]

What is $300 billion? The amount of free aid your governments give to a very small country far away. Where were our taxes spent?

[pkfunlab]

These students are proof that their generation is not falling for the lies that ours fell for. Bravo to these people. they are protestors not terrorists stop brutally arresting them 😘😘

[lianyang]

You have shown your tremendous courage and perseverance! The world is yours and I’m hoping that the country will be great in the more meaningful way

Refunds should be given since the campus is out of control and they are unable to protect all the students.
