It feels like a miracle that New York took its mind off Trump for just one minute.

Meanwhile in Texas all we have to worry about is a few million rascals

Things have seriously gone off track in the world. We may be at the precipice of an outright disaster.

how does a protest in nyc affect the war in gaza?

[DAISYROSE]

And how many are actually students? I mean, the media does know all these so-called "protests" are highly organized and financed, right? Might be time to start fining the ones obstructing traffic and interfering with the safety of others $1000 a day fine and then start garnishing wages, putting the fine on tuition statements that must be paid before you graduate, or going after bank accounts. I'm not suggesting his for those protesting without interrupting the rights of others.

Since it's a no-cash-bail state, is it correct to even say they were "arrested"? They got a free ride in a cop car then went back to rioting.

Those protesters who are Pto Palistine offer them a free plane ticket so they can stand and fight with who they support.

I wonder what would happen if they were in Palestine chastising Hamas or any other theocracy in the middle east?

[adriennefried]

Did thevprotesters have permits to assemble on public and private property??

Ironic to complain about the protesters "occupying" a space that doesn't belong to them.

[RextheRebel]

I don't care what side youre on. If you're this passionate about foreign countries going to war with one another, then go fight alongside whatever team you defend. Clearly you put your own nation second anyway.

Lol, he really is clueless, thank goodness someone gave him something to try and read.

[Elite_Warfare]

excellent job
learning is far more important than a bunch of confused individuals protesting middle east issues in America because we all know they wouldn't bother to do that there.

[Anurania]

Protesting is a constitutional right. Maybe they were arrested for trespass?

[annm]

Arrested for trespassing then released…NY is a cesspool. God bless and protect our law enforcement officers

[GaryVelardo-rbnw]

How many of the so-called students actually go their to that school ?
Probably about half, if that.

[Lovepeacejoy..]

Things have been getting out of control. Peaceful protesting is welcome, but threatening others and spreading hate can not be tolerated. People need to be safe and Jewish students should not be harassed or physically harmed.

[IrishAmerican]

Does that mean taxpayers no longer have to pay off their student loans?

[charlescohen]

My suggestion is to choose between going to Gaza or Iran to help those two loving nations educated help to build the society they desire.

PLOT TWIST: They were literally let free down the block.
