How the students (and likely non-students) thought an occupation of UT was gonna work under Abbott's Texas, I have no idea lmao.

Proud to be from Texas where common sense is still used.

[johnhmielewski]

I don't think Texas will let this bullspit fly AT ALL.

[richardmartyn]

They need meaning in their empty lives....Their ignorance is off the charts.

[debaser_]

How many of these people are even students?

Good job Texas, I hope other states take notice.

All of these protests make me feel what it was like being in Germany in 1938!

I saw these brat's grandparents back in the 1960s going through the same silly drill. Emotionally reacting, instant gratification spasms mean nothing but making the kiddies feel good.

Question: Just how many Arab pro Palestinian interlopers have we let into our country? It seems they are never ending.

They are on private property and told NO PROTEST ALLOWED ON OUR PROPERTY - DO NOT DO IT OR ELSE. They ignored the warning - Whatever happened was ON THEM. Kudos for the University to nip this and more power to them for going after the students who organized this and tried to do it anyway! Enough is enough.

This is how to stop these things. When they start.

Funny to see snowflakes getting schooled.

At least this university isnt completely brain washed. At least in Texas the police can act

[amberwaves]

Right on Texas!!! Stop that BS before it even starts!

[EndingSimple]

I have a feeling there's a lot of people there are aren't even students of the college but rather professional agitators. They are trying to gin up a Kent State II. The police should go through them, find out who is not a student and arrest the one's who aren't for trespassing.

[olvets]

This is what happens when too many woke people move to any predominantly conservative area!

[shawnsdrumcave]

Arrest, expel and deport if on visas...

[vlqwhpg]

DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS! It's more than just a cool slogan on a T-shirt.

This is how you deal with entitled idiots.
