All the college had to do was not ally themselves with fascists and their money

[jesserush]

they are allowed to peacefully protest, they are not allowed to disrupt the whole campus by putting tents everywhere, and destroying buildings.

As a non-American (an Irishman) looking on, I have to say that you should be so grateful for those students. They are showing extraordinary courage and a moral backbone completely absent in the country's leaders. They are the best of you.

NYPD are being sent right now. Things are about to get very serious and ugly.

I love the name Hind's hall. I'll never forget her and what happened to her. These people are saints.

[gaeron]

I thought breaking windows and taking over a building was the worst thing to ever happen?

[zwerrell]

Acting like terrorists to support people they swear are not terrorists…

Absolutely sublime.

My granddad once told me:
"Never, ever trust a feral dog. No matter how many times you show them kindness - One day without warning, they will lash out and bite you without reason."
True words.

Aren't they demanding to be fed now? "From the river to the sea! Please bring us some KFC!" 😂

Breaking into building this is not a protest

[conrradotorres]

Breaking into a building is not a good look

[derekgoncz]

The “anti-war” protesters sure are “peaceful.”

[jessemoses]

Why would they be so dumb to occupy and damage a building?

[DavidRichardson]

"Israeli murderers are called 'commandos.' Arab commandos are called 'terrorists.' Contra killers are called 'freedom fighters.' Well, if crime fighters fight crime and firefighters fight fire, what do freedom fighters fight? They never mention that, do they?"
- George Carlin

[adrian]

To protest peacefully is ok, but what is the point to damage the University??

[davidgbuckley]

Have I got this right? Those carrying out a genocide are criticising students for not being peaceful?

[ewlchen]

Although I am a progressive lefty, I do not support any kind of violent acts or vandalism against the university buildings. What’s the difference between what the protesters did and what the Jan 6 terrorists did in damaging property? They have a right to protest peacefully, not vandalism. Doesn’t matter if it’s for free Palestine or for Jewish students

[thelastprophet]

History repeating itself. This is crazy!

So you'd be happy for people to establish a "peaceful encampment" in your home? You wouldn't antagonize them by telling them to leave?!
